In response to Mr. McCrone, Mr. Roller noted there would not be a second floor in the structure as there is not enough space for the required parking for an additional floor. Mr. McCrone asked if there was a considerable amount of fill on that site. Mr. Roller noted there is, however, it has been tested by Gaston Engineering, who determined it is sound. Mr. McCrone inquired if Tract C exists. Mr. Roller noted Tract C does exist, and the plans indicate a lightly drawn building footprint.

DISCUSSION ITEM Indy Lube Modifications - (Killebrew) 651 West Oak Street - A discussion to review a request for modifications to a conditionally approved site plan to change the colors and materials on the exterior of the building, located in the North 71h Avenue Corridor. Bayliss Ward and Jack Sather joined the DRB. (Joanne Knoll joined the DRB as a potential member.) Assistant Planner Joni Killebrew noted the modification is a change in colors. Mr. Ward noted the original colors on the corners were going to be green with natural gray block. However, due to the cost of the panels, they are requesting to keep the gray with a gray split face band and change the green band to a black band along the base. He explained the store front system they plan to use. Chairperson Walker asked ADR Staff if there is a problem with the new colors. Senior Planner Skelton noted there is not, however, the introduction of an accent color would be better and Mr. Ward has expressed an interest in adding color. Mr. Ward noted the dark bronze roofing and the black band may not offer enough contrast so they may switch the bronze to black shingles. Design Review Board Minutes-March 23,1999 2 Mr. Sorenson noted it could be better if more earth tones could be used. Mr. Sauther noted the color accents will be in the signage and awnings which will both be red. Mr. Hanson noted the black and gray scheme can be effective. He expressed concern with the expansive gray block, however, if it is broken up with signs, it could be satisfactory. A discussion of the signage and it's location followed. Mr. Hanson noted the color of the building will be satisfactory, however, a little color would emphasis it, He feels the building is great and stands alone just fine. Mr. Sorenson commented the structure will look great, has good composition, and the colors blend into the setting and the theme of the business well, Mr. McCrone noted the shade of the bronze may be a little off color and he could understand Mr. Ward's concern with it. Chairperson Walker noted there is a lot going on along that street. She suggested the landscaping be quite mature to help warm up the building. MOTION: Chairperson Walker moved to approve the modifications as submitted March 23, 1999. The motion was seconded by Mr. Hanson. Mr. Sorenson noted the colors fall into the muted, natural colors and fit the design well. The motion carried unanimously. ITEM 5.
