It was noted the full site plan <br />would be in front of the Planning Commission on June 1. <br /> <br />Commission Business <br /> <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer asked what type of materials were being used on the backside of the building. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented on the amount if EIFS that would be used <br />on the building. It was his hope a fiber panel could be used in lieu of the EIFS. <br /> <br />Commissioner VanScoy believed from a safety perspective the site would benefit from having a <br />second exit. It was also his opinion the northeast corner of the building as not very attractive. <br /> <br />Commissioner Nosan stated she was very disappointed when she reviewed these plans and would <br />like to see the plans improved given the fact this building would be located in The COR. She <br />believed the roof should be higher and wanted to see more architectural style brought into the <br />building façade. <br /> <br />Commissioner Anderson agreed the building exterior needed enhancing. He stated the building <br />would be in a high visibility area and encouraged the developer to reconsider the building <br />elevations to more closely match the existing buildings within The COR. <br /> <br />Commissioner Gengler recommended the building exterior be elevated to more closely match the <br />existing buildings within The COR. For safety purposes, she stated she did not want to see a <br />second entrance onto Sunwood Drive. <br /> <br />Chairperson Bauer supported Commissioner Gengler and believed a second entrance point was <br />not wise. <br /> <br />Commissioner Brauer stated he was insulted by the proposed project plans. He explained that the <br />Planning Commission had bent over backwards to get Stonebrook Academy into The COR. He <br />recommended staff speak with the applicant on ways to dramatically enhance the exterior of the <br />proposed building. <br /> <br />Planning Commission/May 4, 2017 <br />Page 8 of 10 <br /> <br />
