<br />Approved – September 18, 2003 <br />Handbook has not been used during the design phase of this project. <br /> <br />Commission Questions to Staff and Applicant: <br />McAvinew to Love: What does the DBA think of the design. <br />Love: The DBA is pleased with the design and would repeat that the design has changed since the first <br />time they saw the project. <br /> <br />McDermott to Love: Compared to the office across the street from her office and the offices on Front <br />St. what are her thoughts of the building design. <br />Love: The design of the building for Moffitt Buildings on Main St. are more appropriate then what is <br />on Front St. The Front St. offices would not be appropriate on Main St. <br /> <br />Staff Summary and Recommendation: <br />None. <br /> <br />Applicant Summary: <br />Meade reminded the Commission that it has been a difficult process to find compatible materials for the <br />scale of the project as it relates to other structures in the downtown area. They have brought to the <br />Commission this evening the best of all the options they reviewed. <br /> <br />Lipton: Discussed with Meade his concerns of the roofline on the south building. Feels that the 40’ <br />length needs to be broken up. <br /> <br />Kalish: Discussed with Lipton the possibility of a dormer but concluded that it would not be appropriate <br />for the rest of the design. <br /> <br />Robson: Discussed with Meade the difference between the model that Meade had provided for the <br />evening and the display board. His specific concern was the planters located in the front of the buildings <br />and the materials proposed. Meade clarified that the display board / drawings were the most accurate. <br /> <br />Lipton: Discussed the possibility of modifying the proposed materials. Meade does not support the <br />introduction of another material type to the front of the building. <br /> <br />Lipton: Discussed the use of shutters on the south building. Meade expressed the concern that adding a <br />design element that is not functional would detour from the overall appeal of the buildings. <br /> <br />Additional comments from the Public: <br />Sherri Levine, 641 Main Street, stated that she welcomes the new buildings to her neighborhood. <br /> <br />Don Fleming, 601 ½ Main St., expressed that the proposed project reminds him of the buildings located <br />in the south end of Longmont. He also reminded the Commissioners that he feels that the additional <br />traffic in the alley will cause problems with access to his garage. <br /> <br />Public Hearing Closed Commission Comments: <br />Loo: Supports the project and thinks it will work well in the downtown area. <br /> <br /> <br />8 <br /> <br />
