Commissioner Fox believed that the following items made the design inappropriate for the <br />Downtown: <br />1. The various number of roof lines; <br />2. The lazge number and variety of windows along one side; and <br />3. The combination of the round windows and the angles near the column on the front <br />elevation. <br />4. Lack of symmetry. <br />5. The column was too whimsical. <br />She did not believe those design elements would be compatible with other Downtown <br />azchitecture. <br />Commissioner Sullivan noted that he liked the retro look to the building but not in this location. <br />He added that the Downtown Specific Plan was clear about what kind of buildings would fit <br />Downtown. He suggested that the applicants look at the Specific Plan for guidance. He was <br />comfortable with demolishing the existing building because it did not have historical <br />significance. <br />Commissioner Maas noted that the Commission did not want acookie-cutter appeazance to the <br />building. <br />Mr. Stoklosa noted that he did not agree with the peer-review process, but would re-think the <br />exterior design concept. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS REOPENED. <br />Bob Byrd noted that the project was on the same block where he owns two buildings and added <br />that he had lived Downtown most of his life. He believed that the building design was unique <br />and had a lot of character. He displayed a photo of the building across the street from him, <br />noting that the Specific Plan stated that there should be no buildings with residential rooflines or <br />materials. He noted that this other building had vinyl windows and cheap siding. He believed <br />the proposed building was of high quality. <br />THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. <br />No action was taken. <br />The Planning Commission recessed for a break at 8:49 p.m. <br />Chairperson Roberts reconvened the meeting at 8:57 p.m. <br />e.
