Woodspring Suites Public Hearing Design Review (L15 -0042) April 28, 2016 Page 12 The project meets the design criteria. The refuse and disposal area is accessible and properly screened by an enclosure constructed of concrete block and metal that match the building and landscaping. Rooftop mechanical equipment is proposed to be screened by the parapetwall. Build ingelevations show the location and color of downspouts. Half -round gutters and round downspouts are proposed as recommended in the Southcenter Design Manual. 3. Lighting Site lighting should be designed to promote safety as well as enhance the nighttime appearance of buildings and landscaping. The project will need revisions to meet code requirements and design criteria. The style of the exterior lighting fixtures is typical of that included in commercial development (see Figure 5 below). The lighting proposed will either be directed downward (as is the case for pole- mounted lighting in the parking lot and building- mounted lighting), or in the case of the proposed bollards, will provide low level lighting. A condition of approval was discussed previously in this report (page 10), under the Site Requirements section of the Supplemental Standards. Figure 5. Proposed light fixtures left to right: parking lot light, building- mounted light, bollard lighting. 4. Walls and Fences Walls and fences shall be designed to be compatible with the building, improve the appearance of the site, and improve safety. The proposed building meets the design criteria. A split -rail fence will be located on the rear side of the building, to separate the developed area of the site from the wetland buffer plantings. The split -rail design is typical to demarcate the boundary between wetland buffer areas and developed areas, and is in keeping with the colors and materials used for the building. 16
