The applicant, Kevin Stong, felt the trellis should be Yx�rizontal to give a very proriounced shadaw pattern. Ca�m.issioner Holden indicated that the reason the comnission was looking for the sloped trellis was more to cut down the massiveness of the building. Caimission felt if the trellis swept up, it would cut dawrz the 28 foot high wall. Camiissianer Urrutia added that if the trellis vaould be sloped, there would also be more access for growth of the planting on the trellis. C,amiissioner Urrutia felt that the rema�nder of the elevations were fine. Action: It vaas moved by CaYmissioner Urrutia, seconded by Comnissioner Holden, to grant prel�m�nary approval of the modified elevations subject to the sloping of the trellis being revised and appraved by staff to conform with remainder of the center.

He added that one of his concerns was with the modular units, as they were tryirig to make these structures look more pezmanent. Catmissioner Holden felt that the modular units would be satisfactory, as long as the landscaping was handled correctly. Caimissioner Urrutia requested that the trellis be called out on the plans.

The applicant was concerned with the maintenance of the ground cover versus the extensive lawn. Chaizman Gregory r�ted that additional trees w�ould be needed in the par'1iin9 area to meet the city's requir�nent.

(�airman Gregory noted that the only change was on the use of the date palms, and other than that, the plan was still dull. He felt that the revised land.scapi.ng accentuates the straight wall and did not help with the lack of articulation in the wall. Chairnu�n GY�egory reiterated the need for the services of a landscape designer on this plan. Camtissioner Holden reminded the applicant that at their first presentation to commission, Chairman Gregory informed the applicant that he needed to hire a landscape architect to have the plans done correctly.
