Mr. Yau confirmed that the colors are not exact and that in the actual submittal, there <br />will be a color board and true color chips. He noted, however, that the colors are not far <br />off and are meant to be dark blue and gray/blue. He indicated that Site 1 was <br />intentionally done a little cooler than the office buildings, and Site 2 intentionally a bit <br />warmer considering its context. He added that they believe both sites complement each <br />other with shared colors while not being exactly the same, and they did not want to <br />design two projects with exactly the same colors. <br /> <br />Commissioner Blank requested that larger color chip samples be provided when the <br />project comes back for the actual formal application. <br /> <br />Mr. <br /> <br />Commissioner Pearce noted that in one of the pictures, the yellow color is mustard and <br />on the other, it is neon green. She inquired which one would be closer to the actual <br />color. <br /> <br />Mr. Yau replied that said the color is more yellow and not as gold as shown, but <br />definitely not green. <br /> <br />Chair Narum inquired how the charcoal or dark blue would hold up with the weather in <br />terms of exposure to the sun and fading. <br /> <br />Mr. Yau replied that it is a Hardie panel that has an integral color with a warranty on it <br />and not something that is just painted on. He added that it is cementitious panel, not <br />wood, and should hold up very well. <br /> <br />Chair Narum inquired if they have had any experience with it. <br /> <br />Mr. Yau replied that it is a pretty common material but not something that is out there in <br />terms of something that has been used quite a bit. He noted that they have used it <br />satisfactorily in other projects in the past. <br /> <br />Commissioner inquired if it is the same material that Hardie uses in its roofing <br />material such as Hardie shakes and Hardie shale. <br /> <br />Mr. Yao replied that he did not believe so. He indicated that this is a Hardie board, <br />made by the same company but of a different material. He added that they are looking <br />at various other companies as well, but it would be essentially a similar type of <br />cementitious panel and not a wood panel which would wear and look differently. <br /> <br />Commissioner Olson stated that his first reaction to the colors was that they look great <br />and are different from what he sees when he looks across the other side of the freeway. <br />He added that he likes the colors and would hope they would continue. <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, October 17, 2011 Page 21 of 36 <br /> <br />
