PlanningBoard | 2005-06-27 | 17 | appealed it. She noted that the Council may send it back to the Board. In response to an inquiry by Vice President Cook regarding the changed color of the aluminum and glass on the upstairs element, President Cunningham replied that he agreed with the HAB's recommendation to use the clear aluminum. He wished to clarify that low-E glazing was available in many tints; the Board would prefer the clear low-E glazing. President Cunningham noted that with respect to page 3, Item 2.2, regarding the base along the theater, a spandrel would provide a base in accordance with the findings. He would like the wording to be modified to provide for a base. President Cunningham noted that with respect to Item 6, he would not recommend 6-inch aluminum clad element depths in the doors; there should not be any recessed openings. Vice President Cook agreed with President Cunningham's assessment; although historic buildings had an increased depth, the narrowness of the retail spaces would not accommodate that depth; she would prefer that be changed to enliven the retail space. The Board agreed that item would be deleted. President Cunningham noted that with respect to Items 8 and 9, a professional lighting designer should be employed for the Cineplex, rather than an electric subcontractor. That design and the signage should come back to the Board. Ms. Eliason advised that Condition 4 of the Draft Resolution already stated that the signage and lighting programs be brought back to the Board. Vice President Cook liked the addition of the brick veneer, which broke up the larger planes. President Cunningham noted that the stucco column caps could be eliminated. In response to an inquiry by President Cunningham whether the color of the brick veneer would be monotone or variegated, Ms. Ott replied that it would be variegated. President Cunningham noted that the sunlight/shading study should be included in the conditions. Vice President Cook noted that she was not extremely concerned about the shading study, and believed that the shade should fall on the Long's parking lot; she believed it was important to respond to the public's concerns. Ms. Eliason noted that because the Cineplex was a permitted use, the Board would not be asked to consider any operational limitations. However, the Board will consider operational limitations for the parking garage. In response to an inquiry by Mr. Lynch regarding how questions and concerns regarding operational issues for the theater could be voiced, Ms. Eliason suggested that could be expressed before the City Council; those concerns will also be reflected in the record.
