Staff Review Comments Ms. Hitchcock went over the proposed site plan. Mr. Shafer expressed his concern is the lack of interesting features on some facades that would be very visible to motorist or trail users as the area develops in the future. There will be more of a visual connection needed to what we now think of as the rear of this building. Mr. Trainor made the notion approve the site plan with the following recommendations: — Clean up the reserve area at the corner of Holleman and the Feeder Road. Place masonry walls around the rear A/C units and on three sides of the dumpster area. Gates should also be installed on the dumpster enclosure and painted to match the building Extend wainscoting around to include back of the building. Add more polestars to the back of the building to duplicate the front facade. Add overhead awning to rear door similar to the front door awning. Add simulated windows along the back of building. Mr. King seconded the motion. As part of the approval the Board asked that city staff review the resubmitted site plan with the DRB recommendations. If the resubmittal is not what the DRB proposed, it would then come back before the Board at a future meeting. The Board voted (5-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Discussion, consideration and possible action on a concept plan for Castlegate Section 5 located north of Green's Prairie, west of proposed State Highway 40. The Developer wishes to continue the development as it was originally envisioned and implemented in the previous Section 1 -4 of the Castlegate Subdivision. The Planned Development District is the only available district that provides for the meritorious modifications of the regulations. Mr. King made the motion to approve the site plan as submitted. Mr. Trainor seconded the motion, which passed (4 - 0 - 1). Mr. McLean abstaining from voting. AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Discussion, consideration and possible action on future agenda items.
