He indicated that it was their desire to blend all of the materials so that <br />they compliment each other but not necessarily duplicate or look like a hodge podge of styles. <br />Gaffron pointed out that the hardy plank was also used on the new senior housing building. <br />Fritzler asked if vinyl siding would be used. <br />Page 23
