however, on this project, all four sides of the store has design focus. The current plan has been approved by the Hacienda Business Park Association. This design is a softening of the Walmart prototypical building. This project will feature architectural split face block and feature tiles (blue and red) as well as textures on all four sides of the building. The bottom 8 feet will be split face block, then a stripe pattern will continue with alternating split face block and smooth face block. This building will have four different parapet heights. This store will not have the red and blue striping around the store. There is a trellis-type structure at the corners of the building to create additional visual interest. Commissioner Mahern stated that the color board indicated a red signage color and inquired if that red was the same color for the red feature tiles. Mr. Bell indicated they are the same color. In response to Commissioner Michelotti, it is anticipated that the different colors of the alternating split face and smooth face will be visible, furthermore, the split face block is about an inch thicker than the smooth face so a definite dimension is visible. Commissioner Michelotti further clarified that the overhead beams over the front walkway will be open. She inquired if they had ever thought of putting some type of roofmg over that area. Because there was no walkway indicated, Commissioner Wright inquired if the back doors were for emergency use only. Mr. Bell indicated that was correct. Commissioner Wright then asked if there would be additional fixtures on the back wall, such as lights. Mr. Bell indicated there will be down-shining security lights that will go on at a prescribed hour, stay on all night, and go off during the day. Commissioner Wright indicated that the video showed the feature tiles to be green, though Mr. Bell indicated they would be red and blue. He would prefer the green color to match the green used for the garden center fencing. He feels the landscaping on the rear of the building is rather sparse. Mr. Bell further added that parcel B would be hydroseeded. Dean Ashworth, 1455 Oliver Rd., Suite 200, Fairfield, spoke on the plans for landscaping. Commissioner Michelotti clarified with the applicants that they would not remove any of the established landscaping, and that they would only enhance what is already there. They agreed. Mr. Ashworth explained that at the rear of the building there are existing IS-gallon trees on the rear slope. They plan to add approximately 12 larger trees to that slope.
