All Commissioners answered. There was no objection for any of the <br />Commissioners to hearing the proposed application. <br />Stacy MacGregor <br />proceeded with the staff report and utilized a PowerPoint presentation. Staff presented to <br />the Commission the proposed plans for a 8,451sf restaurant including a proposed patio at what is commonly <br />known as the former Bank of America(BofA)site. The bank building is scheduled for demolition with the <br />new restaurant to be built over the existing foundation. The bank basement will remain. <br />Staff explained that the Design Review is for the building only as the site was redesigned in 2010 with the <br />demolition of the BofA drive-through. At the time of the drive through demolition, the parking lot was <br />landscaped and restriped, thus bringing the stalls, drive aisle widths, and landscape island up to code. It was <br />also noted that the design of the parking lot was greatly influenced to preserve the existing mature trees <br />around the site perimeter. Because the parking lot and landscape have previously been brought to code, <br />Buffalo Wild Wings is not proposing any changes to those aspects of the site. Staff pointed out the significant <br />things to noteare the pedestrian path connections and sidewalks around the perimeter of the site. <br />The new building is acombination of EFIS, brick and metal. The design was improvedto include real brick <br />as opposed to faux brick which was originally proposed. Color changes were also made throughout the design <br />review process in order to meet the criteria in regards to bright colors being used as accents only. The <br />applicant made other changes throughout the design review process to increase the sense of depth and <br />modulation ofthe building. <br />Page 1 of 5 <br />1 <br /> <br />
