Mr. Owenell thanked Joanne for noticing the amount of work that was put into this project. He stated that he can make the corner glass, but people will see different colors of shades/blinds because those are bedrooms there. Joanne Boulton informed Mr. Owenell that this Board is not here to design the project. Mr. LeCesse stated that the architect designed this building in a manner which they felt was best and right for this location and that they do see this as a transition project; the changes that were made were based on comments they received. Mr. Owenell stated that they think this is a great looking building.

23 Chairman Lichtenfeld thanked the applicant for defending the architectural profession and that the mass, colors and materials of the building are greatly improved from the previous proposal, but he doesn’t see any context with it. Joanne Boulton stated that a context elevation/rendering would help. Mr. Owenell informed the members that there should be a context drawing in their packet. Chairman Lichtenfeld asked if 894 Westwood is above the alley. Mr. Owenell indicated that he believes it is. Joanne Boulton stated that as this building is currently designed, it will have a significant impact on the Westwood condominium building and that some type of buffering is needed between the one-way drive and that condo building. Mr. Owenell stated he is open to discussion. Craig Owens stated that he likes the new caps on the tops and asked why caps were not incorporated into all the rooflines. Mr. Owenell stated that the caps were used only on the gaps to enhance the stepbacks. Craig Owens stated that he is interested in seeing a view from above, questioning how the rooftop HVAC units will be screened. Chairman Lichtenfeld stated that he imagines these will be screened similar to how the Vanguard and Opus buildings are screened. He asked if each individual apartment will have its own unit. Mr. Owenell replied “yes”. He informed the members that in Australia, lattice is installed surrounding the units. He noted that the units will need to be accessible for maintenance. A brief discussion regarding the courtyards took place.

24 Mr. Owenell stated that he feels they have done what was asked of them and that they are open to looking at the northern barrier issue. He reminded the members that they are content with staff’s recommendations. Joanne Boulton informed Mr. Owenell that if this gets voted down, it can’t come back for 12 months. Chairman Lichtenfeld noted that if the next meeting is held on the 27th, the applicant would have some time to tweak the plans and re-present. It was determined that there would not be a quorum on the 20th. Craig Owens made a motion, seconded by Josh Corson to table this item until the next meeting, which was decided to be held on the 27th. Chairman Lichtenfeld stated that the updated traffic study and County’s comments could be ready for review by then. Note: Scott Wilson had already left the building and was not present for the remainder of the meeting. CONCEPTUAL REVIEW – MIXED-USE PROJECT – 8015-27 FORSYTH BOULEVARD

The property has a zoning designation of HDC High Density Commercial District and is within the Downtown Core Overlay District. The site is currently made up of four parcels improved with two story buildings and surface parking. Adjacent land uses include a Special Development District with commercial to the west and office or retail uses to the north, east and south. The proposed project consists of the demolition of the existing parking lot and structures and the construction of a 140,630-square-foot, 9-story mixed-use building containing 7,500-square-feet of ground floor retail space, 51,000- square-feet of office space and 160 parking spaces. The applicant also stated the potential for residential units to replace the penthouse office space. The proposed building will be constructed of glazing-unit assembly, masonry wall, concrete panels and metal panels. Access to the parking structure on site is proposed from the existing north-south alley off of Forsyth Boulevard. The project will be developed as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and will require public hearings before the Plan Commission and the Board of Aldermen. The property has a zoning designation of Downtown Core Overlay with a base zoning of High Density Commercial District. The Downton Core Overlay seeks to maintain a retail center development pattern and foster a pedestrian friendly environment. A project in this zoning district is eligible for rezoning to a PUD when the development includes two of five listed use categories and exceeds the maximum height permitted or the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) permitted. This project qualifies by proposing retail and
