. . . Planning Commission Meeting Notes April 12, 2005 Page 3 Commissioner Westgaard agreed that a general concept plan should be approved that would guide future development of this area. Commissioner Offerman stated that he agreed that the area should be high density due to the presence of the commuter rail station. 4. Discuss Building Material and Design Standards for Commercial and Industrial Districts The Commission reviewed the proposed housekeeping language related to Case No. OA 05- 07a, regarding architectural standards. The Commission decided to separate the commercial from the industrial standards, due to the fact that they felt commercial buildings should have more than one type of building material. The Commission was not opposed to using single materials in the industrial districts, including simple types of concrete products. Commissioner Westgaard asked if "shingled" would include concrete and clay tiles or cedar shakes. Mr. Leeseberg stated that shinglffig is the category of those types of materials and yes, they would be allowed as a material. The consensus of the Commission was to separate the standards and to require two or more materials on commercial buildings on all sides, but to not require any specific percentage of materials. 5. Review End of Month Tour Route The Commission briefly reviewed the items to be seen on the tour on April 30th and verified the time of departure and return.
