Mrs. Carlson indicated they have already been marketing this development under the name of Sugarwoods. Mr. Carlson stated they do have a lot of costs associated with the printing of the brochures and marketing of the development. Winkey noted the concern with using the Sugarwoods name was expressed at the very beginning. Mr. Carlson noted it was approximately two weeks ago that they had their first meeting with staff concerning this proposal. Winkey commented he does like the appearance of the buildings but that he does have a concern with the name and the clear-cutting of this site in advance of selling any of the buildings. Winkey inquired whether the top of the berm is 1024’. Mr. Carlson stated it is. Winkey inquired whether that elevation would be maintained. Mr. Carlson stated it would. GaHron stated since a portion of the access is through the senior housing development, one option might be to post a sign at that entrance stating that it is the Sugarwoods Office Center. Winkey pointed out the senior housing development can also be accessed off of Brown Road, which is approximately 15 feet from the entrance into the Sugarwoods residential area. Mr. Carlson pointed out the majority of their signage would be located along Highway 12 and their address would be Wayzata Boulevard. Leslie commented he is having a hard time envisioning this project from the street and that it appears the view from the street will be one of a lot of rooflines. Leslie stated he would like to see an elevation view of tile entire development from tlie street. Leslie stated he has a concern that there will be a wave of metal buildings from the street and how that might impact the planning for the old Highway 12 corridor. I Mrs. Carlson stated the buildings toward the rear of the property would not be visible from tiie street and that tiie elevation at the road is 995* and 1010* at the entrance to the property.
