Regarding the exterior appearance of the buildings, Ron West said that the Design and Site Plan Con~nittee met la, Friday and discussed metal buildings and they are working up a formula that so much of the metal building exterior has to t~ faced in something other than metal on those buildings facing the street or adjacent to other structures.

P & Z recommends that Building No. 3 be a pole-type construction with a blue metal exterior faced with wood~ stucco, r~ugh cedar or something comparable in columns which are four feet in width and placed perpendicular from the ground to the soffits of the building. .Said four foot columns are to be placed in the canter of the East and West sides and on each corner-of the building except the South side (because this side is hidden by the existing trees) to break up a monotonous appearance. Building No. 2 is to be a pole-type construction and the P & Z Commission -5- Regular Meeting P & Z - 7/~/79
