The first phase consists of the construction of an approximately 17,118 square foot 2-level office building, a second vehicle access from Main Street, parking for approximately 59 spaces, and associated site improvements. Consider the motion: “I move to recommend approval of master site plan and first phase site plan applications 17040 and 17041 with the findings provided in the staff report.” 05:38:45 PM (00:10:22) Owens reviewed the Master Site Plan for the project. 05:40:08 PM (00:11:45) Owens reviewed the Master Landscape Plan, Phase 1 Site Plan, Ph. 1 Landscape Plan, Elevations and some floor plan examples. 05:43:35 PM (00:15:12) Owens summarized the guideline findings, deviation request and recommended approval of the application with conditions. 05:48:00 PM (00:19:37) Design Review Board asked questions of Owens and the applicant regarding privacy screening, pedestrian access and open space. 05:53:43 PM (00:25:20) Owens and the applicant answered questions regarding the buildings that would be demolished.
