Specifically,building materials have been the area of <br /> focus, as in 2000, the Commission removed concrete tip up panels as a primary building <br /> material. <br /> Enclosed please find two versions of the revised ordinance language that the Commission will <br /> be reviewing at their July 24,2001 meeting. The first is the language drafted by staff,with input <br /> from the Planning Commission. The second was submitted by Brookstone,Inc. Their version <br /> limits the mix of materials and architectural treatments to only those side that directly face a <br /> public street, residential district, or public trail/path. <br /> It is staff's opinion that the sides that are visible from an adjacent street should receive similar <br /> treatment as those facing the street. It is understandable that the side that is filled with loading <br /> docks would have less variety of materials and architectural detailing. <br /> Recommendation <br /> The EDA is asked to comment on the attached ordinance language. <br /> S:\PLANNING\Business Park\7 05 01 EDA.doc <br />
