yellow color makes me think of Jack in the Box and a service station so I mean, I think we need to be very thoughtful about a darker color and I maybe one that might complement the hotel behind it because they have a lot of nice earth tones and you don't want it competing with that because this is lower and you're looking at the hotel often times. These diagrams show a darker color but it was more the staff report had more of a yellow so let's be careful of the tone. Commissioner Nagler: There's definitely sophistication to this color palette that we like. Commissioner Allen: Yes, I think this architecture is really, really nice and colorful. Chair Ritter: And I concur with the comments regarding the color palette and exterior finishes. C. Is the tree removal/replacement plan adequate and should the applicant contribute to the Urban Forestry Fund? Commissioner Balch: There's a picture in the staff report of the site layout and plans. Where is this heritage tree? I'm looking at A-7 in the plans. It's this little script next to the...like the pole. Weinstein: If you go to your tree report. I forget the number exhibit, but it's Tree No. 110 so think it's Exhibit B. The very end of the exhibit is the tree assessment plan map and if you look at the very eastern side of the site, Tree 110 is the heritage tree. It's a pear tree and it's probably right in the middle of the drive aisle as currently proposed. Commissioner Balch: I'm okay with its removal and I'm okay with no contributions to the tree fund or whatever. I'm okay with that out. Commissioner Nagler: As long as the number of trees planted are at least the number that are currently in the plan, I'm fine with it and not needing a contribution. Commissioner Brown: Yes, I mean given it's placement I'm okay with the removal. I'm willing to go with the majority on not enforcing. Commissioner O'Connor: So I'll just step back and say I think if we move the buildings forward we can save the tree, but whether we save the tree or not, I don't have a problem with foregoing the fee. But since we're taking all of the trees out and starting over, I would like to see larger trees put in; a minimum 24-inch box so it doesn't just look like sticks when you start. All Commissioners: That's a great comment. Chair Ritter: I'll agree. Commissioner Allen: I agree with removing the tree. I agree with the larger planting boxes and I would like to suggest, and I think staff had made this suggestion as well, that we increase the amount of landscaping we have and the trees in the front. Commissioner Balch: And how are they going to redesign the lot? Commissioner Allen: Well, when they look at re-designing. I realize we've got a tough lot, but the setback standard is 20 feet and we're allowing a setback to parking that looks like it's a Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 16 of 20 the same request of softening that up. And the second is color of the parapet. I think we'll want to be very careful about the color. Some of the visuals mostly in the staff report show the lighter more yellow color. In contrast, this diagram showed more of a grey and darker color. I think the lighter Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 15 of 20 e okay with no B. I just want to say as a principle because of the need to easily access the parking I don't actually have a problem with the B lot being in the front. Commissioner Brown: Put simply it seems like if the desire to have the drive-thru doesn't fit in a design if after 20 iterations that it isn't a perfect for the property. I don't know how else to put it, whether its 11 or 12 and I'm not even trying to design it because I'm sure after 20 iterations Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 14 of 20 ally can't take another 20 feet for that 12th car out of the depth of Building B because then we're looking at a building's that probably 20 feet deep or we have to severely carve into the corner Excerpt: Planning Commission Minutes, September 28, 2016 Page 9 of 20 ructural control such as an oil/water separator or sand filter.
