existing (or anticipated) adjoining buildings.

project shall be based on the quality of its design and relationship to
surroundings
• Buildings should have good scale and be in harmonious conformance with
permanent neighboring development.

have good proportions and relationship to one another.

Materials:
• Materials shall be selected for harmony of the building with adjoining
buildings.
• Materials shall be selected for suitability to the type of buildings and the
design in which they are used. Buildings shall use the same materials, or
those that are architecturally harmonious, for all building walls and other
exterior buildings components wholly or partly visible from public ways.

Fred Patterson went over the proposal with the Board. Mr. Wells questioned the roof
color not being green like the others and Mr. Patterson stated that the green color,
presented at the meeting, was not liked by the Parks & Recreation staff members and
was not to be used.
Mr. Wells motioned to approve the item as proposed, Mr. Goodwin seconded the
motion, which passed unopposed (4-0).
