An articulated cornice at <br />least 24 inches in height shall be required for each building unit width. Cornice detailing shall be achieved <br />through, but not limited to, corbelling, varied ornamental moldings and reliifs. . . The same cornice detail shall <br />not be the same as the two atfjacent units to each side.

The issues staff <br />raised at the April 18th meeting were addressed. Although this building has some similarities <br />to Jackson Place such as "end units" and a repetitive "mid section", this building does not <br />have existing downtown fabric across the street to interact with and works as a stand alone <br />project. <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />Staff recommends that further design studies of the west and south facades of Jackson Place <br />be executed and changes to the building exterior be made to comply with District <br />requirements. <br /> <br />C:\Documents and Settings\c1eeseberg\Desktop\DT Memo.doc <br />
