Worksession on PUD-81-30-84D, Chamberlin Associates Design review of a two-story office building located at 5075 Hopyard Road in the Hacienda Business Park. .r- Assistant Planner Tricia Maier presented the staff report prepared for the work session. She provided a history of the application, noting that the Commission had expressed an interest in conducting a work session on the design of the building. She noted that the original plan and the proposed revised plan have been provided to the Commission. She advised that the staff report poses questions for the Commission's consideration in providing feedback on the design. Ms. Maier corrected the materials list on page 3 of the staff report, noting that applicant is proposing the use of an EFIS system, rather than precast concrete. Scott Graeser of Chamberlin Associates represented the applicant. He noted that they are presenting an entirely new design for the building. He advised that the proposed design has been submitted to Mr. Larry Cannon for his review and comments, and they are hoping to hear back from him in the next day or two. Mr. Graeser stated that they believe the proposal incorporates a lot of the design objections that have been identified by Mr. Cannon. He reviewed the site plan, noting that it is basically the same as before, but that the building foot print has changed slightly, however it is the same size and meets all setback requirements. Mr. Graeser advised that the architect, Mr. Charlie Eoerr, is present to answer any questions. Commissioner Arkin questioned whether the applicant would be open to increasing the number of stories with the same amount of office space and mixed uses on the first floor. Mr. Graeser responded that they are not very strong believers of this type of mixed use and they would like to keep the office product as the strategy for the product and not mix the uses. He noted that they spent some time considering mixed uses on the property, but they are not comfortable with that. He advised that it is better to mix the uses in a horizontal sense, rather than a vertical sense, and the site is not large enough to get the mass needed. Commissioner Roberts advised that as the liaison to the Housing Commission, she received a copy ofthe market analysis that determined that there is sufficient retail use in the area and that the area is over-built in restaurants, when Dublin is taken into consideration. ,-- PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES July 11, 2001 Page 2
