Bayliss Ward joined the DRB. Associate Planner John Sherman presented the staff report and conditions, noting his conditions had been met. He stated the parking is more than what is required by code and meets Gallatin Center requirements. Planner Sherman described the parking lot lay out and stated that as different proprietors come into the complex, the parking will be shared. Mr. Ward explained how the parking lot will align with Target's parking lot. Design Review Board Minutes-September 12,2000 1 Mr. Ward stated they have worked on the landscaping to meet the concerns of the DRB with the hope DRB would recommend approval to the City Commission. Planner Sherman suggested the addition of more conifers to the site. Mr. Ward stated the sidewalk had not been located properly, therefore, they have cut into their own property about five feet. He agreed there needs to be more sidewalk, but is unable to provide it on this site. Mr. Pohl asked if there were any speed bumps to slow traffic. Mr. Ward said there are no speed bumps along the main access street and the curb is located at the entrance. MOTION: Ms. Smith moved, Mr. Pohl seconded the application with staff conditions. The motion carried 4-1 with Mr. GIenn voting in opposition. ITEM 4. INFORMAL REVIEW A. Jacob's Crossing - #I-0038 - (Caroline/Sherman) 424 East Main Street An Informal Review for advice and comment regarding the proposed construction of a 32,500 + square foot building for mixed-use. Dick Prugh, Jamie Lenon and Cliff Chisholm joined the DRB. Assistant Planner Karin Caroline presented the informal review information and an additional comment list. Mr. Chisholm stated the square footage has been downsized by 10%, the essential character of the building is as presented, and the material will be brick. Mr. Chisholm stated the existing parking lot is owned by the Blackwood Development Corporation and has a separate entrance from this property. Mr. Glenn stated he would like to see a connection between the two buildings that carries a street wall across and would allow cars to pass underneath to the parking lot. He stated there needs to be more of a relationship between the two buildings. Mr. Chisholm stated there is a problem of scale and the other building is someone else's property. Mr. Chisholm stated they followed the code as is now stated and provided roughly 60% of the parking and plan to purchase the rest from the City. Ms. Smith asked if the spaces would be reserved and how will they decide who gets to park there. Mr. Chisholm stated the residents will have assigned parking spaces. He noted these will be 2 or 3 bedroom units and the 3r1 floor is more of a penthouse unit. She suggested the residential parking spots need to be permanent 24 hour parking. Discussion followed on landscaping points and how best to meet them. Mr. Glenn stated the landscaping should not be the same as the surrounding buildings because of the urban condition. Planner Sherman stated it is an urban parking lot, but the entrance needs to be beautified with landscaping added in the back. Mr. Glenn noted the parking lot should be screened. Design Review Board Minutes-September 12,2000 2 Mr. Chisholm noted there will be a private, street entrance into each retail segment, with a standard store front which can be manipulated. There will be major entrances into the building from the parking but not individual entrances. Mr. Pohl stated the primary entry is from Main Street. Mr. Glenn noted he would like to see a back entrance, especially for a loading zone. Mr. Prugh stated deliveries are mainly from Main Street. He suggested a pedestrian access be added to the east end of Main Street. Mr. Chisholm stated they had proposed an underground parking lot to the owner, however, he declined due to the cost. Mr. Glenn stated he would like to see the front elevation compare with the buildings to the west. Mr. Chisholm stated the Gallatin Apartments are not low income but just run down apartments. Mr. Prugh stated they have spoken with HRDC with an offer from the owner to help the residents find replacement low income housing. He also stated the new apartments will be affordable housing, but not necessarily low income. ITEM 5. DISCUSSION ITEM A. Exterior Building Materials in Entryway Corridors Planner Sherman presented pamphlets on Dryvit, stating the City Commission is considering the idea that there is to much Dryvit in the city and would like to go back to the traditional materials for the entryway facades. He stated he prefers stucco. Chairperson Sorenson stated Dryvit ages rapidly and impressions can be destroyed quickly. Mr. Howe stated Dryvit, in the past,was used as an insulation material not as a way to dress up a building. He would vote not to ban it but to use it in moderation. Mr. Glenn stated the problem is not Dryvit itself but where it is used and the quantity of it. Planner Sherman stated the City Commission would like to see more structures built following the standards in the Design Objectives Plan. The DRB concurred that Dryvit has its place but not on the whole facade. Mr. Pohl stated that any material can be abused. ITEM 6. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business to come before the DRB, Mr. Howe moved, Mr. Glenn seconded,to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 6:00 p.m. Henry Sor son, Chairperson Design Review Board Design Review Board Minutes-September 12,2000 3 ATTENDANCE ROSTER AUGUST 15, 2000 Those persons attending the Bozeman Design Review Board meeting are requested to sign the attendance roster.
