MINUTES OF ORONO COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 26, 1990 <br />r � <br />U <br />Councilmember Goetten said that she would prefer to have a <br />building style that is not indicative of the East or South. She <br />preferred a Midwestern style that would use materials from the <br />area. Goetten said she would like a residential character to the <br />building and favored the use of wood and /or brick. <br />Councilmember Peterson concurred with Goetten. She said <br />that none of the images Mr. Boarman was showing were what she had <br />in mind. <br />Councilmember Nettles indicated that he liked the style of <br />the Champlin City Hall building if it were located on the Old <br />Crystal Bay Road site. He said if the current site is used, a <br />more residential structure would be suitable. <br />Mr. Boarman advised that materials that are indigenous to <br />Minnesota are brick, wood and Kasota stone which can be cream <br />color or more okra colored. <br />Councilmember Goetten said that a lot of the design is going <br />to depend on the cost. <br />Mr. Boarman said that there are a lot of subjective options <br />to get imagery to work and keep the cost within $80- $85 /s.f. <br />Councilmember Goetten said that in her opinion $80- $85 /s.f. • <br />is too much. <br />Mr. Boarman said that he would like a motion from Council <br />providing him with some direction as to what cost he should <br />consider. <br />Councilmember Goetten said that she would like to see cost <br />comparisons depicting the various costs of different building <br />options. <br />Mr. Boarman said that he will bring back an image of a <br />building with a varying roof profile, with some sloping, and the <br />functionality being discussed by staff, and gives a 20% to 30% <br />variable in cost. He said that he is proposing a building that <br />has four elements to it rather than just one, large element. <br />Acting Mayor Callahan said that the design for the building <br />if located on Highway 12 should be different than if it is <br />located on the South Brown Road site. Callahan questioned <br />whether the four elements proposed for the building would be more <br />costly than just constructing a rectangle. <br />Mr. Boarman said that the elements do increase the cost. <br />Mr. Boarman suggested that he should bring back a floor plan . <br />for the Council review and provide cost estimates for variations <br />to that plan. <br />18 <br />
