Alan King motioned to approve the absence requests; Hunter Goodwin seconded the motion which passed unopposed (4-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Consideration, discussion and possible action to approve meeting minutes for June 11, 2010. Hunter Goodwin motioned to approve the meeting minutes, Alan King seconded the motion which passed unopposed (4-0). 5 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a variance request from the Non-Residential Architectural Standards' approved color palette for a proposed freestanding restaurant located at 4471 State Highway 6 South. Case # 10- 00500153 (MKH) Staff Planner Matthew Hilgemeier presented the staff report stating that Whataburger is proposing to construct a new freestanding structure near the intersection of William D. Fitch Parkway and the State Highway 6 South Frontage Road. When constructed, the new structure will be part of a building plot that has more than 150,000 gross square feet of floor area. Section 7.9.f.5 of the Unified Development Ordinance requires that when a building is part of a building plot with a gross area of 150,000 square feet or more, that accent colors may be used on no more than 5% of the facade on which the accent color is applied. Accent colors are those not included on the approved color palette. This site is also located in the Overlay District, which requires that all building colors be neutral and harmonious with the existing man-made or natural environment and states that only compatible accent colors be used. The paint colors for the proposed Whataburger do not match any colors that are currently utilized on the existing commercial development in the area. However, the color and type of brick proposed for the new structure will match what is currently used on the building already developed in this building plot. The requested color scheme is a part of the Whataburger corporate brand and has been used at other locations throughout Texas and in College Station. Hunter Goodwin motioned to approve the Aggie Maroon color as proposed. Alan King seconded the motion which passed unopposed (4-0). Alan King motioned to approve the Whataburger Orange color as proposed. Jason Kinnard seconded the motion which passed unopposed (4-0). Alan King motioned to deny the use of the Whataburger White color as proposed; since there are numerous variations of white that are on the approved color palette, Mr. Goodwin requested the applicant to pick a white color that is in the approved color palette. Hunter Goodwin seconded the motion which passed unopposed (4-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Possible action and discussion on future agenda items - A Design Review Board Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has not been given. A statement of specific factual information or the recitation of existing policy may be given. Any deliberation shall be limited to a proposal to place the subject on an agenda for a subsequent meeting. Hunter Goodwin suggested adding the trademark color Aggie Maroon to the approved color palette. 6 AGENDA ITEM NO. 7: Adjourn Hunter Goodwin motioned to adjourn the meeting; Jason Kinnard seconded the motion which passed unopposed (4-0). The meeting was adjourned at 12:10.

Box 9960 College Station, Texas 77842 Phone 979.764.3570 / Fax 979.764.3496 MEMORANDUM DATE: October 14, 2010 TO: Members of the Design Review Board FROM: Jennifer Prochazka, AICP, Senior Planner SUBJECT: Amendment to the Color Palette Item: Presentation, possible action, and discussion on an amendment to the City of College Station Color Palette to add "Aggie Maroon" as an approved color. Unified Development Ordinance Section 7.9.6.4 "Building Colors" states that all building facades and roofs shall consist of only colors from the Color Palette approve by the City Council as amended by the DRB and maintained in the office of the Administrator. All other colors are considered accent colors. On August 27, 2010, the Board requested a future agenda item to consider amending the Color Palette to incorporate Pantone® Aggie Maroon, a trademark color for Texas A&M University, as a permitted color. Because Aggie Maroon is a custom ink, there is no "PMS number" to refer to and "Aggie Maroon" is not found in a standard Pantone Swatch Library. The ink formula for Pantone® Aggie Maroon is as follows: Pantone Yellow 012 = 9.00 Pantone Rubine Red = 36.00 Pantone Black = 25.00 Pantone Trans. White = 30.00 8 (*tl"" CiTYO C0H,I;,GI`, STATION Horne of Texas A6-M University, DESIGN REVIEW BOARD for COCS Wolf Pen Creek Festival Park 10-00500198 REQUEST: Site development including building, water feature, path extension, landscaping, signage, and variance requests to Section 7.9.B.2 "Building Mass and Design" and Section 7.9.B.3 "Building Materials" of the Unified Development Ordinance SCALE: 10.41 acres LOCATION: 1015 Colgate Drive, generally located at the intersection of Holleman Drive and Dartmouth Street ZONING DISTRICT: WPC Wolf Pen Creek APPLICANTS: Donald Harmon, City of College Station PROJECT MANAGER: Lauren A. Hovde, Staff Planner Ihovde@cstx.gov RECOMMENDATION: Staff is not providing a recommendation for the request since the proposal is a City of College Station project. Design Review Board Page 1 of 3 October 22, 2010 9 Design Review Board October 22, 2010 Page 2 of 3 10 ITEM SUMMARY: The proposal includes an addition to the existing Wolf Pen Creek Park facility. The subject property is bordered by public rights-of-way on three sides, Holleman Drive to the north, Dartmouth Street to the west, and Colgate Drive to the south. It is neighbored by the Arts Council of Brazos Valley building to the south. The project consists of three structures including a restroom, equipment room, and an arbor. These buildings will be oriented around a large water feature that is planned as a site amenity. The architectural design and materials mimic other buildings within the Wolf Pen Creek Park. Parking is provided off the proposed fire lane/drive-aisle connecting Dartmouth Street and Colgate Drive. In addition to the water feature area, an extension of the path network is proposed and will include resting areas with benches and trash receptacles. The site plan and elevations meet all standards of the Unified Development Ordinance with the exception of two variance requests to Section 7.9 of the Unified Development Ordinance. The first request is to Section 7.9.B.3 to allow substitute building materials in order to use sandblasted concrete. Though this product has been used on other Park buildings, it is not a pre-approved material and must be granted by the Design Review Board. The second variance request is to Section 7.9.B.2. for consideration of alternative architectural relief elements including the distinctive roof design and relief area next to the concrete columns. ITEM BACKGROUND: Design began for the Festival Park, which will be funded by the Wolf Pen Creek Tax Increment Fund, after City Council approved a contract with Clark Condon Associates for a Master Plan on October 8, 2009. During the months that followed, the plan underwent many renditions and various alternatives, but was narrowed down to a single option in late 2009 entitled Wolf Pen Creek Water Feature and Festival Area Project. The Design Review Board met with the Wolf Pen Creek Oversight Committee on March 9, 2010 as an opportunity to provide their suggestions and comments regarding the proposal. The plans have changed slightly since this meeting due to budget constraints and the elaboration of design by the Wolf Pen Creek Oversight Committee. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is not providing a recommendation for the request since the proposal is a City of College Station project. ITEMS FOR REVIEW: 1. Treatment of the minimum reservation area: The majority of the site is left as open space to accommodate the path network, as well as future festival activities. 2. Exterior lighting: The applicant is proposing to use light fixtures currently utilized by Parks and Recreation Department in the Wolf Pen Creek District. 3. Solid waste: Trash receptacles will be located throughout the building site and path network. 4. Relationship of buildings to site: The proposed buildings are located at the rear of the property leaving the front portion as open space. 5. Relationship of buildings and site to adjoining area: The buildings are setback several acres from the Holleman Drive right-of-way and will be accessible by vehicle from Dartmouth Street and Colgate Drive. The proposed paths will tie into the existing network within the previously developed section of the park. 6. Building design: In general, the buildings are a combination of burnished block CMU simulating granite, stucco, and sandblasted concrete. Design Review Board October 22, 2010 Page 3 of 3 11 7. Miscellaneous structures and street hardware: In addition to the three proposed buildings, the applicant is proposing a water feature and a path extension that includes public benches and waste facilities. 8. Landscaping: Landscaping is provided in accordance with the Unified Development Ordinance. The majority of landscaping is existing on site, however, new plants are being added around the proposed buildings. 9. Signage: The applicant is requesting a freestanding sign to be located between the proposed restroom and equipment building which will be visible from Dartmouth Street and Colgate Drive. It will also be visible from Holleman, but most likely not highly legible. The sign will use colors and materials found on the proposed building with silver lettering. REQUESTED VARIANCEs TO NON-RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS: Substitute Building Material- Section 7.9.G.1 allows the Design Review Board to consider a material that has not been previously approved by Section 7.9.B.3 if it meets one of the following criteria: a. The building material is a new or innovative material manufactured that has not been previously available to the market or the material is not listed as an allowed or prohibited material; b. The material is similar and comparable in quality and appearance to the materials allowed in Section 7.9; c. The material is an integral part of a themed building (example 50's diner in chrome). 2. Alternative Architectural Relief Elements- Section 7.9.G.5 allows the Design Review Board to consider alternatives to the options listed in Section 7.9.B.2 if the alternative incorporates a minimum of two architectural relief elements with spacing as required by Section 7.9.B.2.
