MINUTES OF THE <br /> ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING <br /> Monday, October 21,2002 <br /> 6:30 o'clock p.m. <br /> (#14) #02-2840 DAHLSTROM DEVELOPMENT LLC, 2550 KELLEY PARKWAY, <br /> Continued <br /> Mabusth asked if the retention ponds were part of development Phase 1. <br /> Johnston agreed that the retention pond and other things would accompany Phase 1. <br /> With regard to the punch list of 8 items in the staff memo, Chair Smith asked for Commission <br /> reaction to the first item, site layout. <br /> Rahn asked if the applicant was receptive to changing the size of the roundabout. <br /> Johnston stated that they would look at the size of the roundabout with Bonestroo, as well as, the <br /> third driveway by the lofts that was added due to the 10' drop in the grade differences. <br /> Gaffron suggested the applicant consider a consolidated side entrance access for both loft <br /> buildings versus the proposed 2-3 accesses shown currently. <br /> With regard to the color palettes, Gaffron stated that the Commission's goal should be to tie <br /> them down to ensure the City knows what they are getting. <br /> Johnston indicated that what they were displaying that evening was a style and a sample of <br /> colors they propose, and he ensured the Commission that what they don't want is a single color <br /> only repeated throughout the entire development. <br /> Gaffron pointed out that the publics view would be more than just the front, and suggested the <br /> applicants consider continuing the front facade around the building since the two story views <br /> would be seen throughout the neighborhood. <br /> Hassler stated that their intent was to install brick on the front and back of the buildings and <br /> provide variations. <br /> Similar to the Renaissance development, Dahlstrom noted that these units would be all brick <br /> with some similarities and variations, and he realized that they need to enhance the rear as well <br /> as the front. <br /> Hassler stated that they would be using materials such as, cultured stone, brick, hardy plank <br /> (which could be painted). 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 25 <br />
