PlanningBoard | 2019-05-28 | 6 | windows. He said they need the remaining space to support the modules when they are shipped. He added that they have ten foot ceilings in the rooms. He said it is not feasible or desirable to increase the window size further. Board Member Rothenberg asked what the purpose of ten foot ceilings would be. Mr. Leach said they have a narrow bay design to maximize views of the water and that the increased height is appreciated by the customers and requested by Marriott. Board Member Saheba said the concern is the amount of solid on the exterior, not the amount of glass on the interior. Board Member Teague moved approval of the 35 foot setback. Board Member Rothenberg seconded the motion. The motion passed 7-0. Board Member Saheba moved approval of the parking lot configuration. Board Member Mitchell seconded the motion. The motion passed 7-0. Board Member Teague moved approval of the building structural design with the requirement that the exterior palette materials and colors return for further review. Board Member Curtis seconded the motion. Board Saheba said he is supportive of approving the footprint and height of the building. Staff Member Thomas said he is hearing that at least one commissioner would like to keep the size of the windows open for discussion, and to see how the ground floor clerestory windows will look. He said that it is not uncommon for developers to submit building plans and then revise them during the plan check process. Board Member Curtis said that if there is a structural reason why the windows cannot be any larger they would possibly be putting in an impossible condition. Staff Member Thomas said the ground floor is not modular construction and therefore the developer believes that adding the clerestory windows there will not present an engineering problem. He suggested approving the building massing, but bringing back the architectural elevations. President Sullivan asked if the suggestion would approve the articulation on the front which is very different from the back of the building, and said she could not support that. Staff Member Thomas said there are short rooms and long rooms which can be adjusted to change the articulation.
