MINUTES OF THE <br />ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br />MONDAY, MAY 17, 2004 <br />6:00 o’clock p.m. <br />Fritzler asked if a curb is proposed. <br />Mr. Trautz explained the area is flush to the parking lot surface and could be constructed with colored asphalt <br />or stamped concrete. It provides an easy way for pedessians to get the Walgreens front doors. <br />!.•Fritzler asked for clarification that it would become a space for promotional ‘sandwich ’ boards. <br />Trautz stated that there would be no signage in this area. <br />Jurgens stated he assumed the area is not raised because of handicapped parking requirements, but a raised <br />area could help guide traffic. He asked for information about how the transition occurs from parking lot to <br />pedestrian walkway. <br />Ms. Vicki Van Dell, Landform Engineering, explained the area is flush to the ground with vertical bollards at <br />the front. <br />Gaffron illustrated the Walgreens’ access point and the 20' x 20* area in question. <br />Jurgens clarified the area will not be raised and will have no curb along the face of the building and questioned <br />if there will be bollards all the way down the length of fne building. <br />Ms. Van Dell e.xplained there would be two bollards in front of the handicapped stalls, another one on the ne.xt <br />stall over, and transitions into a fuU curb along fne rest of the building length. <br />Bremer commented that she had no problem with the prop jsed access area. <br />Rahn concurred stating it makes it easier to traverse into the access point for Walgreens. <br />Mr. Trautz exhibited the finished palette of exterior colors and distributed the samples to the Planning <br />Commission. <br />Mr. Mike Spina, Amcon Construction, explained their goal was to be consistert but not identical among the <br />buildings. The brick will match the V/algreens building, fascia colors will be similar to Walgreens but the <br />awnings will not niatch Walgreens. He stated their goal was to keep the building scale down to residential- <br />type scale with the gable groot'es and some other buildmg features. <br />Page 13ofS8 "
