that the applicant has brought color samples, which were then presented to the Commissioners. Commissioner Narum noted that there was no change from the original color proposed. Mr. Otto explained that the colors shown on the colored elevations at the Work Session were computer - generated colors; what is being presented tonight are actual color chips. Chair Blank commented that the bleed might not have been just right on the print, and the Commission can now get a sense from the chips of what the colors really look like. Commissioner O'Connor referred to a color board that was placed against the podium on the floor and inquired if that was the color board for the buildings. Mr. Otto replied that that color board is for the parking garage building. Chair Blank complimented and thanked staff for indexing the slides corresponding to Exhibit B elevations in the packet. He noted that this is a significant improvement and helps the Commissioners a lot in terms of their ability to follow along and get a real close and personal look at the pictures. Mr. Otto acknowledged the compliment. Commissioner Narum asked Mr. Otto to display the project layout slide once more and point out where the playground equipment or the open space amenities for children is located. Mr. Otto pointed out the tot lot on the picture and then zoomed -in to the central open space area where the tot lot was located. Commissioner Narum noted that at the Work Session, the Commission talked about an open area for children to run around. Mr. Otto pointed out a field area as well as slightly smaller one above the bocce ball court. Commissioner O'Connor inquired how big that open field was. Mr. Otto replied that he would defer that question as well as other questions relating to the details of the project to the applicant. Commissioner Pearce referred to Sheet L1.03 and noted that the open space hierarchy legend mentions "semi- private" and "semi- public." She stated they sound like the same thing and inquired what the difference is between them. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, March 27, 2013 Page 26 of 48 IL
