She colors are lovely on the paint chip, but look very dark on the renderings; t recommendation to stay with those color families because they are lovely, but to lighten them up. She noted that her inclination when looking at the renderings provided is that there is an awful lot of those colors on a large part of the building.

She stated that she likes those colors but would like to see them muted. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, August 10, 2011 Page 10 of 15
