. . . Planning Commission Minutes May 27,2003 Page 6 Chair Pederson stated that he preferred the original design and did not feel there was anything wrong with the buildings looking similar. He felt the original design blended in better and that he liked the floor-to-ceiling windows versus the knee-walls shown in the second design. Commissioner Jenson concurred, stating that he also felt the original design blended well and that a change in the color may be enough to make a distinction between this building and the Panera Bread site. Chair Pederson agreed that moving the driveway makes sense. Commissioner Franz concurred. He stated that he felt the original design is in compliance with the design standards and felt that requiring a different color would be adequate to address the duplication in design to the Panera Bread site. He did not support tabling the request. Chair Pederson asked if the PUD design standards prohibited duplication of a building design. Mr. Leeseberg stated that the standards do not specifically prohibit duplication. Commissioner Ropp stated that he felt that color has a significant visual impact and that alone may be enough to distinguish one building from another. Commissioner Offerman concurred. There being no public comment, Chair Pederson closed the public hearing. COMMISSIONER OFFERMAN MOVED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REQUEST BY STM DEVELOPMENT FORA CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT, CASE NO.
