An email was received and distributed to the Committee from Mary Neal (Exhibit A).
Chairperson Fonzi closed the Public Comment period.
The Committee made the following recommendations (in red):
1. Architecture and Color
The Committee was in support of a paint color called "toasty gray" which is a blend
between tan and gray. The Committee recommended that the applicant work with
staff to find a color of wood stain (lower wood portion) that coordinates with the
darker trim and the paint color.
2. Signage
The Committee was in support of the applicant replacing the panels at the top of
the monument sign with the new Starbucks sign. The Committee asked the
applicant to take the lead on fixing this sign, which was recently damaged in a
vehicle accident.
3. Landscaping
The Committee was in support of trees that provide shade/canopy (perhaps
Sycamore). The Committee was in favor of planting tall plants on the back wall to
help the neighbors with noise. In the wetland mitigation area, there are very
specific plants that need to be planted in this location.
4. Sidewalk
The Committee was in support of gray concrete sidewalks.
The Committee was in favor of the applicant working with staff after new drawings are
submitted, and then moving the project forward to Planning Commission for the drive-
through portion of the project.
