A
A
Presently
we
have
an
empty
seat,
so
we've
got
four
folks
here
and
they'll
be
introduced
in
a
second.
This
committee,
just
for
general
information,
looks
at
projects
before
they
come
to
the
downtown
Commission
for
official
design
review
projects
all
projects
in
the
CBD
level,
two
and
level
three
projects
go
to
the
downtown
Commission
for
design
review,
as
stipulated
by
our
unified
development
ordinance.
A
This
committee
is
an
informal
meeting.
This
is
a
not
a
mandatory
review.
Applicants
do
not
have
to
come
to
this
meeting
if
they
don't
want
to,
but
we
have
volunteer
designers
willing
to
give
them
comments
and
feedback
before
they
go
to
the
downtown
Commission
and
generally
we
find
that
projects
improve
before
they
get
to
the
downtown
commission
and
the
applicants
appreciate
the
feedback
we
generally
have
not
been
taking
votes
in
this
committee
and
really
you'll
see
it's
an
informal
meeting.
A
B
C
B
C
D
A
Thank
you,
and
so
for
today
we
actually
only
have
one
item
on
our
agenda.
We
don't
expect
this
meeting
to
go
past
12
o'clock.
The
item
we
have
is
the
Cox
Ashland
project,
which
is
a
conditional
zoning
project.
This
project
has
already
been
before
City
Council
and
been
approved.
They
have
some
changes
that
they
I
think
they
need
to
make
they'll
explain
why
but
I
believe
it
has
to
do
with
grading
in
topography,
and
they
may
be
going
all
the
way
back
through
to
City
Council
for
those
amendments.
A
So
after
this
committee,
this
project
will
then
go
to
the
downtown
Commission,
I'm
gonna
think
it'll
be
going
to
July,
but
well
let
them
tell
us
so
with
that.
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Brian
cook
and
Chris
day,
who
are
here
and
there's
some
other
folks
on
the
call
representing
the
team.
They'll
talk
us
through
the
project
before
we
have
a
discussion.
E
And
from
what
you
saw
before,
we've
had
we've
had
to
made
some
make
some
slight
changes
to
some
of
the
buildings
on
the
north
end
of
the
site.
After
doing
some
studies
of
of
site
conditions
and
grading
and
retaining
walls
costly
becoming
slightly
prohibitive.
So
so
we've
we've
done
a
few
modifications
to
the
proposed
for
those
buildings
on
the
north
side
and
so
looking
in
plan
the
building
along
Ashland
Avenue.
Originally
we
had
a
a
seven
story:
mixed-use
building
with
two
two
levels
of
commercial
and
five
levels
of
residential
above
and
then
a
four-story
office.
E
Building
on
the
north
side
we
have
a
parking
deck
and
then
originally
we
had
some
small
apartments
flanking
the
parking
deck
along
federal
alley.
So,
based
on
this,
the
the
soil
and
site
conditions
that
we've
kind
of
gotten
into
what
we're
proposing
now
is
eliminating
the
apartment
buildings
that
we
had
on
federal
ally,
pushing
the
parking
deck
down
the
hill.
So
it's
up
tight
against
federal
alley,
and
then
we
have
eliminated
the
the
office
building
and
we're
going
to
make
that
all
residential.
E
The
building
up
the
South
End
stays
as
originally
proposed.
This
is
the
North
Building
discussing
on
Ashland's.
This
portion
right
here
for
the
most
part
stays
exactly
the
same,
except
we
have
eliminated
one
level
of
commercial
at
the
street
level.
So
originally
we
had
two
levels
of
commercial
and
five
levels
of
residential
above
we've
eliminated
one
level
of
office,
commercial.
So
now
it's
commercial
at
street
level
and
then
five
levels
of
apartments
above
and
then
this
portion
over
here,
which
was
an
office
building
that
is
now
all
five
storeys
of
residential.
F
E
E
So
this
is
strike.
You
switch.
E
E
Main
lobby
entrance
to
the
to
the
building
at
the
center
and
then
the
portions
to
the
left
of
that
now.
This
is
all
what
we're
proposing
now,
it's
new
or
different
from
what
you
saw
before.
So
we
are
continuing
the
language
of
what
we
what
we
had
proposed
before
on
this
end,
breaking
up
the
masses
as
we
go
along
along
the
street.
E
The
main
material
selections
are
the
same
we
had
before.
We
have
a
dark
colored
brick
is
that
the
base
and
then
goes
up
at
an
end,
Tower
and
then
and
then
the
main
body
of
the
building
is
a
fiber
cement.
Siding
and
we've
been
looking
at
some
different,
different,
different
widths
and
and
profiles
of
that
material.
E
E
G
E
Yeah,
something
that's
true,
but
I
think
that
you
know
make
have
you're
trying
to
create
a
mixed
urban
space
that
has
the
combination
of
commercial
and
residential
I
mean
I,
think
it's
there's
different
ways
to
activate
it,
and
you
know,
besides
having
just
a
clear
storefront
window,
that's
a
shopfront
I
mean
you're
right.
People
will
have
blinds
closed,
but
I
think
that
you
know
you'll
get
very
good
at
variations
of
blinds
open
and
closed
people
sitting
outside.
D
Hey
this
is
Matt's
brows.
One
thing
I
wanted
to
add
to
that
is
on
the
north
side
of
this
building,
where
the
residential
does
come
down
the
ground
level,
we
still
have
a
really
wide
right-of-way
right
there,
and
so,
even
though
there
are
residential
units
at
ground
level,
they're
stepped
back
from
the
street.
A
good
I'd
say
30
feet,
maybe
40
feet
from
from
the
city
sidewalk.
So
it's
an
unusual
situation
already,
where
you
know
with
office
or
commercial,
they
would
be
step
back
with
the
residential.
D
E
So
really
this
becomes
sort
of
a
more
like
a
intermediate
plaza
level.
That's
off
of
the
main
cities,
sidewalk
SP,
that's
a
sidewalk
continues
to
go
down.
This
just
becomes
more
of
a
plaza
this
this
this
is
I
mean
the
the
property
line
has
actually
at
the
building,
so
I
mean
this
is
in
the
right
of
way.
So
this
is
public
space.
E
A
E
B
E
E
E
E
Sort
of
fold
up
doors
to
provide
security
there
during
the
evening
when
you
leave
things
are
closed,
but
these
these
are
not.
These
are
not
represent,
work
with
metal
or
or
fence
fencing,
but
it
would
be
possibly
like
wood
planks
or
some
other
material.
That's
a
little
more
slim,
more
decorative
than
just
a
garage
door,
but
but
you
have
a
say:
maybe
they
do
pop
up
and
create
a
canopy
when
they're
open.
E
Some
are
a
little
bit
similar
to
what
we've
proposed
on
on
the
other
buildings
than
we
presented
earlier,
but
again
just
something
to
give
a
little
bit
of
articulation
and
screening
of
the
of
the
concrete
that
beyond
and
then
we're
also
proposing,
potentially,
is
intermittent
between
the
the
the
perforated
panels
have
fabric
campuses
and
the
owners
are
interested
in
having
a
happy
working
up
a
kind
of
partnership
with
some
local
muralists
painters
that
could
use
some
do
some
work
on
these
in
weather.
Maybe
it's
individual.
Each
panel
is
an
individual
artist.
That
does
something.
E
E
A
E
One
other
one
other
design
staring
that
we're
not
they
were
looking
at,
they
went.
It
gets
get
y'all's
feedback
on.
In
addition
to
this
one
as
we're
still
again,
we're
still
trial
do
look
at
at
as
some
costs
on
punts
on
these
things,
but
as
another
way
to
screen
the
deck
well
pull
up
or
more
in
this
year,.
E
We're
also
looking
at
a
more
of
a
somewhat
simplified
version
of
what
I
just
showed
you
as
well
and
just
have
all
the
same
features
except
something.
Instead
of
the
perforated
metal
panel,
you
have
more
of
the
parking
deck
exposed.
The
concrete
exposed,
but
these
pieces
are
being
bitter
exposed,
would
have
worn
our
architectural.
C
Like
the
perforated
screen
option,
better
I,
don't
know
what's
on
the
other
side
of
federal
alley,
but
if
ever
there
is
any
kind
of
occupied
space,
I
know
lights
from
parking.
Decks
can
be
very
problematic
for
anybody
in
the
vicinity
living
in
the
vicinity
at
night,
and
at
least
the
screaming
would
maybe
reduce
some
of
those
issues.
At
night
lighting.
E
H
My
concern
with
the
pepper
I
prefer
the
screens
to,
however
I
thank
you
may
cost
prohibitive,
so
it
may
not
necessarily
be
which
one
they
prefer
and
I
also
am
concerned.
I
think
that
the
popups
and
the
canvas
panel
is
being
changed
out,
are
great
ideas,
I,
just
wonder
if
that
would
actually
happen
or
if
it
would
be
named
empty
space.
So
there
that's
that's
concern
I
mean
I,
think
they're
great
ideas,
and
it
would
be
fantastic,
but
I
don't
know
that
the
reality
of
the
situation.
E
So
Robin
just
a
comment
on
that.
How
would
you
all
feel
if
again,
no
Bert
Bert
we're
trying
we're
trying
to
activate
the
street
I
mean
it
is?
It
is
an
alley.
That's
on
it's
a
second
of
secondary
trading,
if,
if
it
was
just
a
parking
garage,
if
that,
if
that
was
about,
if
there's
parking,
there's
additional
parking
spaces
in
that
location,
where
we
have
these
pop-ups,
but
we
brought
this,
we
brought
the
panels
and
screening
down
to
the
street
level.
How
would
you
all
feel
about
that
I.
I
Like
what
you're
trying
to
do,
programmatically
honestly
Brian
I
mean
I,
you
know
when
the
food
truck
core
was
less
than
a
block
away
from
this.
It
worked
great
for
a
few
months
until
things
happened,
but
that
had
less
to
do
with
the
food
trucks
and
people
populating
the
food
trucks,
then,
with
some
management
with
with
that
space,
but
I
just
don't
know,
what's
gonna
go
in
there,
I
think
that's
what
Robins
saying
is
that
you
know
food
trucks
that
can
pull
up
and
do
something
quickly
and
easily.
I
Even
a
temporary
market
I,
don't
know
that
we
have
that
many
of
those
going
in
those
locations,
but
I
would
prefer
that
you
do
something
retail,
--is--
or
even
temporary,
like
you've
got
shown
than
just
having
people
walking
beside
a
parking
deck
I
like
the
direction
of
going
I
I
also
prefer
the
screens
and
the
canvases,
but
I.
Would
echo
I'm
gonna.
Give
you
some
leeway
on
that,
based
on
what
what
the
economics
of
that
of
it
of
it
allow,
but
the
differentiation
and
the
block
side
for
for
the
changes
you've
made
them
this.
E
No
yeah
it
would
it
would,
it
would
have
power
yeah,
so
it
would
be
set
up
like
a
what
we
used
to
call
like
a
cold
or
warm.
You
know
retail
space,
so
yeah
I
mean
it
wouldn't
even
have
power
there
wouldn't
be.
Any
we'd
have
to
work
out
where
literally
the
batsman's
would
be,
of
course,
but
but
as
far
as
space
and
somebody
go
in
there
and
they'll
be
able
to
plug
in,
could
have
a
lot
of
lighting
and
if.
I
E
Know
yeah
I
mean
I
mean
you
could
I
mean
it
yeah.
It
definitely
would
be
set
up
frame
wise
where
you
could
come
back
and
put
storms
got
in
because
these
aren't
deep
spaces.
So
I
think
that's
where
we
felt
like
you
know.
Instead
of
doing
like
a
glassed
kind
again,
you
know
fully
defined
storefronts
space
for
retail
space.
It
might
be
harder
than
trying
to
do
something
like
this.
It
might
be
more
more
flexible,
I
mean
II
was
gonna,
come
back
and
forth
between
space
between
Bay.
F
E
Taking
that-
and
that
was
even
something
we
even
we've
even
talked
about
it
in
house-
was
yet
with
the
idea
of
food
trucks
could
put
food
trucks
in
the
backing
of
these,
you
almost
have
like
they
of
food
trucks.
Problem
is,
is
that
alley
is
so
narrow,
yeah
it
probably
challenging
trying
to
get
and
they're
kind
of
backing
it
out.
E
D
E
Yeah-
and
you
know
we
had-
we've
actually
set
the
building
the
the
parking
deck.
We
did
the
same
thing
with
the
with
the
apartments,
but
we
had
set
the
set
the
face
of
the
building
back
from
the
actual
property
line,
so
that
we
could.
We
could
have
a
10-foot,
sidewalk
and
widen
that
sidewalk
there
and
make
it
feel
a
little
more
comfortable,
walking
down
that
Street.
B
B
I
think
that
the
mural
concept
is
is
important,
that
it,
and
especially
if
it's
something
that
has
a
public
engagement
component,
which
we
know
is
just
difficult
but
there's
plenty
of
a
couple
of
good
examples
of
new
parking
decks
where
it
just
missed
the
opportunity.
So
at
least
y'all
are
trying
to
seize
that
opportunity
on
this.
One
I
do
think
it's
a
plus
that
it's
smaller
in
scale
but
I
guess
we've
just
acknowledged
the
challenge
of
the
does
pop-up
spaces
down
there.
That's
that's
a
huge
challenge,
but
it's
it's.
B
C
I
If
I
could
make
a
small
design
suggestion
that
might
even
help
the
budget
is
that
the
screens
are
at
the
perforated
screens
actually
compete
with
the
art
panels.
Right
now,
and
so
one
thing
you
might
do
is
just
reduce
the
screens
to
where
they
are
actually
only
between
the
openings
of
the
parking
deck
and
allow
the
the
art
screens
to
be
the
multi
story,
piece
that
really
pops
up
that
above
and
then
you
would
accomplish
what
what
panelists
trying
to
do,
which
would
be
to
limit
both
visual.
I
You
know,
visual
yeah
bear
drew
between
both
from
outside-in
and
inside-out,
but
then
I
mean
just
as
an
architectural
element
that
that
perforated
screen
kind
of
competes
with
the
art
screen.
Maybe
you
reduce
it
a
little
bit
in
size?
Let
it
ride
between
the
openings.
I
realized
that
the
openings
are
kind
of
climbing,
so
that
might
I
don't
know
what
that
does
visually
I'm,
just
throwing
it
out
there.
If.
I
A
G
I
I
You
know
you
moving
in
and
out,
but
really
in
this
perspective
it
feels
like
one
big
long
building,
and
you
see
those
you
know
very,
very
similar
balconies,
just
kind
of
marching
down
the
street
and
it's
it's
a
it's
a
bit
overwhelming
in
and
in
the
in
the
scale
and
the
size
and
the
length
of
the
thing
so
I'm
just
I'm
just
reacting
to
impression.
So
it
was
it
was
this
view,
and
there
was
another
view
when
you
were
even
on
a
street
level
kind
of
looking
down
the
length
of
the
building.
I
It
felt
very
uniformly
repetitive.
You
know
in
a
way
that
was
much
less
attractive
than
the
previous
version.
Now
you've
differentiated
this
corner
piece
with
different
kind
of
balconies.
These
are
more
recessed,
the
massing
is
different
and
but
I
don't
really
feel
like
it.
That
got
repeated
that
that
kind
of
differentiation
and
got
repeated
as
you
as
you
went.
It
just
feels
very,
very
similar.
All
the
way
down,
you
know
in
a
way
it's
again
much
less
attractive
than
what
we
had
before.
I
I,
like
the
plaza
I,
don't
mind
the
materials
I
like
a
lot
of
the
things
you're
doing
but
I
feel
like
this
needs.
The
same
attention
and
detail
in
differentiation
horizontally.
I
won't
cause
more
of
granularity
and
it
feel
like
it's
less
just
one
tremendously
long,
building
and
minoo.
If
I'm,
making
any
sense
Brian
in
know,
you
are
I,
think.
C
I
But
so
if
I
could
I
mean,
sir
Brian
you've
got
different
languages
and
different
materials
like
on
the
on
the
end
corner
and
around.
On
the
other
side,
where
you
change
the
materials
on
the
balconies,
you
change
the
the
window
layouts,
you
even
did
it
on
this
end,
where
you've
got
again
so
if
I'm
looking
wish
I
could
like
grab
things
and
show
them
them
about,
but
so
from
this
corner
to
the
other
dark
piece.
I
That's
a
building
and
the
white,
a
piece
in
the
middle
is
separate
and
that
that
reads
to
me
is
a
separate
building.
But
then
it's
from
there
on
it's
very,
very
similar,
so
maybe
take
one
of
these
chunks
of
the
light
and
you
introduce
some
of
the
language
that
you
had
on
other
side
on
the
Cox
Avenue
side.
I
It's
extremely
horizontal
you've
got
these
the
way
all
of
the
balconies
line
up
the
way
the
roof
line
lines
up.
It
feels
like
an
extremely
horizontal
building.
You
know
I'm
willing
to
see
some
more
differentiation,
especially
as
I
understand
how
a
schlund
itself
has
fallen
away
from
me,
but
this
building,
which
is
struck
in
such
a
strong
horizontal
line,
I,
don't
know
and
again
I'm,
just
I'm
kind
of
reacting
to
it
Brian
as
much
as
I'm,
giving
you
any
any
actionable.
E
E
You
know,
I
think
I
think
we're
trying.
You
know
that
building
we're
trying
to
create
a
language
that
was
more
in
relationship,
what's
happening,
the
feel
of
Cox
Avenue
and
then
Ashland
Avenue
is
sort
of
being
a
different,
really
a
different
East,
but
pulling
in
some
of
the
elements
that
kind
of
guinea
around
I.
Suppose
they
like
more
of
the
white,
the
lighter
colored
siding
material.
E
I
Okay,
so
maybe
it's
a
lighting
thing
that
I'm
not
it.
It
looked
like
a
different
color
on
the
other
side
and
even
around
the
corner.
As
you
go
on
down
Ashland,
they
looked
completely
different
to
me,
but
maybe
maybe
I'm
just
seeing
it
in
a
maybe
it's
shadow
versus
something
else.
But
boy
I
mean
when
you,
when
you
read
it
like
that,
it
is
just
a
really
big
building
and
those
two
white
pieces
around
the
the
entrance
are
very
very
similar
and
I
just
like
to
see
some
more
differentiation
for
those
pieces.
Okay,.
I
E
E
B
C
H
A
Would
I
would
love
to
hear
the
committee's
feedback
on
the
pedestrian
entrances?
This
we've
got
right
here
perfectly
in
the
center
right
there,
the
main
lobby
entrance
to
me
it's
so
recessed
and
understated.
Then
how
would
you
know
where
to
go
I
mean
if
I
were
driving
by
and
they
was
like?
Oh
there
is
the
answer.
I
don't
know
I
feel
like
it
needs
to
be
stronger.
So
now
I
don't
know
if
you
all
have.
E
Yes,
this
will
have
I
mean
this.
This
is
the
main.
This
is.
This
would
be
the
main
lobby
into
the
residence
hall
for
sure
there
is
the
main
entrances
off
of
the
commercial
portion
at
the
south
end
and
there's
potentially
and
I
think
there
we
have
a
small
lobby
entrance
on
the
north
end,
but
but
but
Sasha
I,
I
I
think
I
see
what
you're,
where
you're
pointing
out
there
is.
I
I
G
C
E
Yeah
no
I
agree
on
I
think
that
to
be
under
that
area
that
we
just
we
we
kind
of
bypassed
but
yeah.
There
definitely
should
be
some
sort
of
identification
there,
whether
it's
a
canopy
or
some,
some
change
in
material
that
that
really
identifies
that
as
the
as
the
entrance.
It
makes
it
more
well,
you
know
more
of
a
welcoming
entrance
to
the
building
I'm
gonna
huge
fan.
G
I
I
I
If
it's,
if
it's,
if
it's
got
some
kind
of
slight
separation
from
the
street,
but
it
still
got
that
I
think
they
can
be
a
residential
all
in
the
ground
level
can
be
very
active
space.
That's
done
in
all
kinds
of
mixed
use
areas,
but
I
want
a
little
bit
more
separation
than
just
a
wall
around
their
patio
space
that
make
you
sense.
A
D
E
E
E
E
A
F
Okay,
yeah
Brian
this.
These
changes
have
us
going
back
for
downtown
Commission,
Planning
and
Zoning
City
Council,
and
if
we
can
have
a
grain
permit
tomorrow,
we
wouldn't
be
soon
enough.
F
So
we're
trying
to
push
this
as
much
as
possible
because
we're
anxious
for
the
project
to
to
get
moving
get
out
of
the
ground
I
mean
we
had
really
gotten
a
good
ways
home
the
original
design
and
just
kept
running
into
roadblocks,
with
with
call
most
based
upon
some
of
the
soil
conditions
and
how
deep
we
were
going
into
the
hill
with
are
condemned
for
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
that.
I
F
B
Now
we're
getting
close
to
noon
here.
Any
other
final
comments
for
the
team,
if
not
we'll
be
looking
forward
to
this
middle
on
Friday
and
Brian,
those
were
some
I.
Think
some
really
good
comments
you
got
hopefully
you'll
be
able
to
incorporate
some
of
those
in
what
we
see
and
believe
Sasha.
Is
that
it
well.
