Commissioner Anderson believed a door needed to be added to the elevation facing Sunwood <br />Drive. He stated he did not support the asphalt roof as this was out of character with the <br />surrounding buildings. He indicated he would rather see a flat roof. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill commented the applicant could construct a flat roof, <br />but the applicants supported a pitched roof for their building design. He explained that for safety <br />purposes, the applicants wanted the building to have no access point from Sunwood Drive. <br />Chairperson Bauer indicated he would rather see a pitched roof on this building than a flat roof. <br />Quinn Hudson, C&H Architects, stated he has been working with City staff to address the <br />comments and concerns expressed by the Planning Commission. He discussed the numerous <br />changes that were made to the building facade in order to create a four-sided building. He <br />explained the playground had been placed in the target zone. He stated he would continue to <br />work on upgraded building materials with staff. He requested the pitched roof be allowed to <br />remain in place as this created a more comfortable, residential atmosphere for the proposed <br />daycare. <br />Chairperson Bauer supported the elevation on Sunwood Drive not having a door. He believed <br />this would be an extreme danger. <br />Commissioner Surma asked if the fire department had reviewed the proposed building designs. <br />Community Development Director Gladhill explained the entire Public Safety Team has <br />reviewed the building plans and were supportive. <br />Commissioner Anderson did not believe this building had the same look and feel as the other <br />buildings within The COR and for this reason he would not be offering his support on this <br />request. <br />Commissioner Nosan stated she appreciated the mix of the flat and gable rooflines as this <br />provided more character to the building. She was pleased the building now had brick and had a <br />more pronounced entrance. <br />Commissioner VanScoy agreed that the applicant had made significant improvements to the <br />building. He suggested brick be placed along the windows on Sunwood Drive to further enhance <br />the building. <br />Commissioner Nosan supported the building having brick half -way up to enhance the entire <br />building. <br />Motion by Commissioner VanScoy, seconded by Commissioner Surma, to close the public <br />hearing. <br />Planning Commission/June 1, 2017 <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />
