Provide two or three different tower design options for the Commission's review that would better incorporate the tower into the building; 2_ Reconsider the use of the horizontal band <and perhaps eliminate its; 3_ Consider bringing the vines and trellises up higher on the building; 4_ Tone down the red color; and 5_ Consider adding stone or brick materials to the building_ The applicant had addressed each of the above suggestions, and staff believed that a design similar to Approach A, by Larry Cannon, would be the most attractive option. The vine trellis treatments would be installed up from the ground, as opposed to down from the roof Mr_ Felix Bachofner, 1 189 Wanda Avenue, Seaside, displayed a PowerPoint presentation detailing the new renderings of the design, which he believed would be an asset to Stanley Business Park and to the larger Pleasanton community_ He believed that the new design combined the needs of the City as expressed by the Commission and staff, while keeping in mind Miracle's needs as directed by its work flow_ He displayed various views of the site, as requested by the Commission_ He noted that two elements that were found in Pleasanton's heritage buildings were tower features and covered walkways, and that they incorporated those features into the building_ Mr_ Bachofner advised that because the site was located at an entryway into Pleasanton, they believed that the design should be contemporized, and that landscaping features were implemented to achieve the best possible design. He noted that the horizontal bands were minimized and integrated with the sign color_ He noted that their initial checklist indicated that the project would be LEEDTM certified at 27 points_ He added that was an impressive feature because the project was not statutorily compelled to meet those requirements. He noted that they used a number of landscaping features such as the positioning o£ the trees and the building so that the parking lot was shaded in the morning and the afternoon to minimize heat gain in the lot_ They also proposed grassy swales so that they could increase the runoff percolation into the local aqui£er_ PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 1 1, 2003 Page 3
