Wil this location be similar?Have you built similar sites in Hamilton County? • Bert Boldizsar-I am not familiar with that location. We have not.This program is relatively new and typically begins with smaller locations. Tom Kegley: • I have nothing to add. The overall improvements are quite good and the outstanding issues,that still exist, are approachable in the time frame. Tom motions to forward Docket No.18100014 DP/ADLS to full Plan Commission with Favorable Recommendation,with the conditions that landscaping,sidewalk striping,trash enclosure design,and the lighting plan is addressed,John seconds,motion passes 4-0. 2. Docket No. 18100012 DP/ADLS: Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers 3. Docket No. 18100013 SP:Replat,North Augusta,Lots 8&9 The applicant seeks site plan and design,as well as replat approval(from two lots into one lot)for a new restaurant building on 1.38 acres.The site is located at 9701-9703 North Michigan Road. It is zoned B- 2/Business and is within the US 421 Overlay Zone. Filed by Eric Gleissner of Civil Site Group on behalf of the owner. Petitioners: Eric Gleissner(Civil Site Group)&Blake Epperson(Freddy's Frozen Custard&Steakburgers) Eric Gleissner: • This project went to Commission on January 15th and was sent to Committee with full voting authority. • The architect has worked diligently with Staff to address all issues. • Nearly all comments have been addressed. • Outside of administrative items,with the Engineering Department,everything is ready to be finalized. Department Report: Rachel Keesling • The petitioner has completed the entire ProjectDox process. • The only outstanding items were for the secondary plat,which has been addressed today and the need for some percentages added to the signage. This has also been completed. • Rachel showed the new building design(page 14& 15 of the submitted packet). • Staff worked with the architect trying to simplify the design and pick different material other than stacked stone.Joshua Kirsh felt this material was overused. • A simple limestone base was added.As one moves up the tower elements,both larger and smaller brick was added. This adds softness to the building design. • The colors of the gooseneck fixtures are now black instead of red. • There is a softer limestone. • Nick Kestner had concern about the bricked in windows on the south and east facades.It is important for the façade, in order to provide pedestrian scale detailing on an otherwise empty façade with a back-of- house type uses, such as bathrooms and a kitchen.A darker brick and nice pattern has been included. This also blends well with the brick detail above the awnings. I did disagree with Nick Kestner on this. • John Adams-It looks like glass block,but it is brick? • Correct,and in a basket weave pattern. • Alan Potasnik-I also did not like the brick windows. It looks like a window was knocked out and then bricked in. It would look less like if it was bricked in if glass block were used. • What if it were the same brick color? • Alan Potasnik-That would address your issue.As proposed the façade is no one single color,but this does not break up the façade in a good way. If it were the same color all the way around, I would say the façade should be bricked. Is there a reason glass block isn't used? • Eric Gleissner-The spandrel glass sometimes causes a maintenance problem.Moisture may get behind the glass and cause condensation. Commercial Committee Minutes 02-05-19 3 • Once brick is used, it is not an issue moving forward. • Alan Potasnik-What is behind this wall? • Eric Gleissner—The kitchen,food prep,and storage. • Laura Campbell-Alan can you please elaborate on the bricked in area? • Alan Potasnik-To me,personally, it looks like there were windows at these locations that were broken enough times where they blocked it off. • Maybe we could look at it with the same color brick? • Laura Campbell-I wouldn't wish glass block on anyone. It is high maintenance. • John Adams- Some pattern needs to be put in there to break up the wall. It is just a matter of what goes there. • Alan Potasnik-The corners, soldier course, and what is proposed may look nice. A sample was not brought. • John Adams-We would like to request something to break up that elevation. We do not want to keep this in Committee. • Maybe it is the pattern?The architect could try another pattern or use a different color. • In working with the architect there will also be lighting underneath the awnings to illuminate the driveway area,sidewalk,and front entrance. We reduced the amount of lighting in half.There are more security lights on the drive-thru façade. • Signage is good. • The Secondary Plat is good,with all the changes to make it one lot instead of two. • Everything is done on ProjectDox. • Staff recommends approval tonight,contingent upon seeing other options for the bricked in areas. • Tom Kegley-How do we approve this? • John how can this be approved via the emails? • John Molitor-Will this be sent back to the Commission? • The Committee has final voting authority. • Alan Potasnik-I do not want to hold this petition up.If everyone is satisfied with the proposal then we can approve this. • John Molitor-The condition would be that Staff can approve the final appearance of the building. Committee Comments: Laura Campbell: • There is no longer the stacked stone around the building,but it is present at the drive-thru station. • Rachel Keesling- I believe that is a rendering issue. It will also match the building. Alan Potasnik: • Did Josh Kirsh bring up to Staff a concern about the position of the building on US 412/Michigan Rd. • Rachel Keesling-Josh spoke to me about connectivity issues later on,but nothing about this location. John motions to approve Docket Nos. 18100012 DP/ADLS& 18100013 SP,with the condition that the final materials used and cutouts on the facade will be mutually agreed upon by Staff and the petitioner,Laura seconds,motion passes 4-0. Rachel Keesling: • I will also run the new brick options by the Committee members. Commercial Committee Minutes 02-05-19 4
