Planning Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />Page 11 of 23 <br />few years. If the parking garage were not required, the project makes a lot more sense <br />financially. <br />Hoefner asked if they didn't need the third story. <br />Hartronft stated that hypothetically if the client did not want to maximize his investment, they <br />might not need the third story. <br />Sinkey stated that as a stakeholder in the city, he thought more parking bringing more people <br />downtown was a benefit. He added that they had held serious and meaningful debates with the <br />members of the nearby residential neighborhoods, who had expressed concern about the effect <br />parking would have on their neighborhoods. He stated that it was politically important to present <br />a project that parks itself. <br />Hsu asked about the specific design cues in the proposal with respect to traditional and <br />midcentury architecture. <br />Hartronft responded that the north half of the second -story buildings take cues from Western <br />false -fronts and the south half of the main Street facade takes cues from midcentury buildings <br />like the Empire and the Blue Parrot. The buildings behind the storefront were designed to be <br />sustainable and energy efficiency. <br />Hsu asked if the setback buildings took any design cues. <br />Hartronft stated that they wanted those to be muted by comparison to the rest of the project. <br />Hsu stated that some of the public comments were concerned that the third floor would make <br />the whole building appear larger and asked Hartronft to address this concern. <br />Hartronft stated that the third floor was divided into three sections. In the center was a central <br />lobby element with an elevator. He stated that it would be hard to see most of the third floor <br />from anywhere on Main Street, as you would never see the third floor at once. <br />Hsu asked about the G-26 guideline that encouraged awnings. He stated that the project did not <br />need awnings because it had recessed entryways, but he wanted to know if they had <br />considered awnings. <br />Hartronft stated that some store owners might want awnings. The northern part of the building <br />would lend itself well to awnings, but the deep recess in front of the one-story building did not <br />make sense with awnings. They would work with what retailers wanted to do. <br />Williams asked if the parking garage was a public garage. <br />Hartronft stated that it was being built to accommodate employees, but it followed a model <br />called "shared parking." When the office space was not being used by Boulder Creek <br />employees, retail tenants would have rights to parking garage in evening hours. <br />Williams asked how the arrangement would operate financially. <br />Hartronft stated that tenants could pay for parking to Boulder Creek. <br />Sinkey stated that they did not intend to use a kiosk to pay for the parking, but all parking was <br />paid for by someone. During the daytime hours, their employers would use the lot and during <br />the evening customers could use it. <br />
