Jeff Lis, Stiles Corporation, introduced team members present on behalf of the petitioner, including Ray Hensler, Senior Development Manager for the project. Mr. Lis explained that the lead tenant would be a well - recognized lending institution. Mr. Hensler announced that • he would answer any questions regarding the project. Mr. Paganini questioned the type of building materials, to which Mr. Hensler responded that the roof was a standing seam metal deck roof, and described the walls as polished granite on the bottom story and buff color on the higher stories, with coquina banding. Mr. Hensler indicated that mechanical units on top of the building would be screened by the parapet, and explained that if covered parking was done it would have a metal deck roof consistent with the building roof and steel framing which would be covered with stucco. Principal Planner Minor clarified that the covered parking would be included in any approval by the Board, even though the petitioner might decide against including that parking. Mr. Hensler explained that the generator enclosure would consist of walls higher than the generator and would include landscaping. Hr. Hensler described the traffic circulation pattern for the financial institution's drive - through area. Mr. Glidden requested that the roof plan reflect the areas in front and back encroaching into the mansard roof; and recommended that the maximum lighting be reduced to the satisfaction of staff. Principal Planner Minor explained that since the completed Burger King project had lighting much brighter than anticipated, staff had become very sensitive to high footcandles numbers on lighting plans and immediately requested that those numbers be lowered. Mr. Minor 2 Planning & Zoning Commission Minutes • January 13, 1998 advised the Board that staff was currently working on comprehensive lighting regulations. Mr. Hensler explained that a location would be created for sculpture, which would be approved by the Art in Public Places committee. Mr. Glidden commented that the designated curb cuts did not coordinate with ingress /egress across the street. Mr. Channing stated he would like to see a sample of the roof color since it had been described as a patina lighter than shown in the rendering; Chair Carlino explained that the City Council would require exact material samples. Mr. Hensler explained that the roof was manufactured in a solid color called patina which he described as sea green, and that a committee at the MacArthur Foundation was reviewing the colors. Mr. Channing commented that the proposed landscaping would hide much of the granite on the first story of the building, and that the proposed oak trees should be installed at 161 to 181 rather than the 12' proposed. Mr. Hensler explained that the landscaping was intended to provide a visual barrier of the parking lot from PGA Boulevard. Discussion ensued regarding how the landscaping might be changed, and the fact that this project was before the Board for the first time.
