She can't say that she is thrilled that we have now moved onto metal buildings and this might be something we see in the future. She understands that $60,000 to $70,000 adds up when looking at construction costs, but she also feels that they could have worked with metal and maybe some brick work, to make it so it is not solid metal. Member Carpenter commented that she feels that this building could have been made a lot better for the area and a lot more compatible to the area. Some improvements could be made to the building that would not cost $60,000 to $70,000 like some brick pillars. She hoped we would see something better in the future. Chairperson Gavaldon would support the motion, however he shared the concern of taxpayer dollars for paying 1.2 million dollars for a metal building. He would like to see more consistency in blending the buildings together. He felt the building was expensive for the materials being used. He appreciated the drawings and overlays that they provided to help with the decision making. Member Torgerson had concerns with compatibility. The other observation he would make that is that it seems that a lot of the architectural character and articulation that occurs does not occur on LaPorte Street, so it might look good from the interior of the facility, but the view from LaPorte Street will be ugly. He would recommend denial based on compatibility. The motion was approved 6-1 with Member Torgerson voting in the negative. roject: Front Range Rezone and Structure Amendment, #3-OOA Project Descriptio7r: Request to change t oning on a 28.03 acre i from ommercial to 16.6 acres of orhood Commercial and 11.4 acres Medium Density Mixed -Use rhood.

Planning and Zoning Board Minutes August 16, 2001 Page 4 through the windows and some of the entrance features. The cream colored area is a kind of stucco material. The north elevation, which you would see from LaPorte Avenue, would have several trees that are planned along that side of the building. The windows that you see reflect offices. The south elevation, which they consider the front of the building opens up into the support services complex. That would be when someone enters into the complex through the gated entrances, they would come into the building on the south side. The west elevation is very similar. The material shown in the middle is a recycled rubber shingle, which is also being used on the Staley Elementary School. Public Input None. Chairperson Gavaldon asked about the statement in the memo from the School District that states that the actual material colors would be selected at a later date and could change. Mr. Holder replied that at this point they have not received submittals for the actual materials that will be used on this facility. They have not selected the final colors. The general scheme of the galvanized, the greens and the beige will most likely be selected from the manufacturers color sample. It is not their intent at this point to a select a different color of galvanized metal. Chairperson Gavaldon asked if it was similar to the buildings to the east.. Mr. Holder reported that the color scheme does carry further east to their informational technology building. It has tans, greens and some beige associated with it. Chairperson Gavaldon asked if the only building that was brick was the administration building. Mr. Holder replied that was correct. Member Craig asked if this building was in the industrial zone, which is the only zone that allows metal buildings, does this building meet the criteria. Planner Shepard replied it did. Member Colton moved for approval of the Poudre School District Facility Services Building, Site Plan Advisory Review. Member Bernth seconded the motion.

Ted Shepard, Chief Planner stated that the Board had been delivered in their packets a letter from Poudre School District Project Manager Ed Holder which addresses the inclusion in the Power Point presentation a graphic depicting the character elevation of the proposed building. In the second paragraph Mr. Holder refers to the cost differential in adding a brick exterior to the building versus the proposed metal siding of the building. Ed Holder Project Manager for Poudre School District reviewed graphics of the elevations on all four sides of the building.
