We've always tried to keep this curb cut over here. I told Mike this, if I could go straight in here, I could get another space there, you know, a conventional —you come in and have parking on both sides. From the tree, it'd actually line up and the drive would come in here. And I think it would be very easy to then pick up that seventh space if that was what the Commission felt was necessary. Commissioner Nagler: I was thinking of something similar. If we were to allow that tree to be removed, what kind of tree is it? Ward: We wouldn't take it out. It's a big one and it really does some screening there that's really pretty sweet. The arborist said it is really about how we handle the pavement out in that area and that it's pervious and we don't excavate a lot to do it. It would be easy to add a space to the right and still get a generous area around that tree. Chair Ritter: Without removing the tree? Ward: Yes, without taking it out. And then as far as the setbacks, I mean, we started this with a PUD in mind where we could establish the setbacks. I know if we have to go to a 20 -foot setback, we became sort of a block building with parking in front. That's kind of what started to happen in the first studies with Mike, and this corner is way too special for that. Commissioner Balch: So the metal is on two parts; the siding and the roof itself. Is there an alternative siding you would propose that could still cause it to be broken up as you were saying is needed? Ward: On the base we might go from the metal siding to some kind of a Craftsmen shingle, you know, where they do the wide and then the narrow. It's sort of a patterned shape. It's a little more precise than putting a bunch of shingles on it, but it has a nice look to it. I think that would fit well. I think we would still stain it so you go into the white mode so it's not quite so ..... you know, I'm not trying to make it cartoonish.... Commissioner Balch: And the metal siding as I tried to find on the plans, it's only on the third story, correct? Ward: Yes, it was just for an accent. It's not like that's the only material we have to use. really agree with staff on the metal siding. You see a lot of it now. The old roofs on churches were all copper roofs, and of course that's kind of a problem now with runoff, but we've done rusting metal roofs quite a bit, Corten which is a nice product. It's kind of a sheet metal and it could be galvanized in flat sheets, ribbed sheets, all kinds of things. But again, we could find another material too. Chair Ritter: Thank you Tim. Okay, we have three speaker cards. Tom Zaro: My grandfather Jaquemar Zaro came over from Italy and he worked in Remillard brick factory and he resided at that residence right there; 4790 Augustine Street. The brick chimney came from the Remlillard Brick Factory. There's a little out building there, it's all brick. All of that came from the Remillard Brick Factory. They've been building next to it. They preserved the original house there and down the street PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES, July 13, 2016 Page 16 of 38
