Design Guide and the design plans. He stated that there is a limit of 150 square feet of undivided
panel. So within 150 square feet, there must reveals that divide the space. But he could not see if
that had been included in the plans. Mr. Parrino asked if there was something the Board was
trying to achieve with that requirement. Mr. Bundy explained that he was only going by the
design standards written for the business park. He said that he did not write the design guide. He
was just reviewing the plans by the standards written. Mr. Parrino said they did not want to have
those reveals from his company's design standpoint and asked if there was a way to request a
variance from the design guide. Mr. Bundy said that is something the Board can take into
consideration.
Mr. Bundy asked if there was exposed aggregate or smooth concrete on the panels. Mr.
Parrino said that it would be smooth and painted. Mr. Bundy then asked about the location and
material of the fencing. Mr. Partin noted that the fence would start at the northeast corner of the
building and go along the north side. Right now, the only fence proposed is around the truck.
court area. He further explained that there is existing fencing along both sides of the property.
They are not proposing a fence along the back property line. There is already an existing fence
i there as well. Mr. Bundy then asked what the height and finish of the dock-bay fence were. Mr.
Parrino stated that he had not gone over that with his clients but believes it will be a six-foot
chain link fence. Mr. Bundy advised that they pay attention to the requirement of a black-painted
or vinyl-coated fence.
Mr. Parrino said they are still working with their MEP subs to get their drawings, but
from a building perspective, they wanted to ensure they incorporated any needed changes before
submitting all the plans.
Mr. Bundy stated that for the Board's records, they need two complete sets of all
drawings and specifications. Mr. Parrino asked if they needed to be hard copies. Mr. Bundy
stated he would be OK with digital or PDF documents. Mr. Bundy asked if there was a timeline
for submitting the final plans. Mr. Parrino said they would like to submit their permit sets to the
City in early December. Mr. Bundy stated he didn't have any other questions.
Mr. Parrino asked how they should request a variance on the reveal requirement. James
McKechnie interjected and advised Mr. Bundy that Section 602 of the Business Park Covenants
and Restrictions allows the Board to grant variances as it deems fit. Mr. Bundy and Mr. Parrino
then discussed the building's elevations and paint colors.
Mr. Bundy moved to preliminarily approve the plans submitted and reconvene to approve
the final plans once those are submitted. Seconded by Mr. Gustafson,the motion carried 4-0.
