Review the minutes of SPRC of Jan. 6, 2004.

SP-2004-01: Review the Revised Site Plan for the Andover Village Retail Center, located in the 300 block of south Andover Road. (adjacent to the north of Bank of America). Gennifer Glenn and Randy Phillips of Spangenberg Phillips Architecture, and Zack Siegrist from Key Construction Inc., presented the plans to the committee.

Gennifer presented the revised site plan showing the changes made to the back of the building covered with efis to match the rest of the building. The parapet wall is continued around the back of the building so that the roof will not be exposed to the residential neighborhood.

Randy said this would be a mechanical screen that allows for continuous guttering.

Randy said there is no information yet about whom the tenants will be or what signage will be needed.

Randy said the other issue they have resolved is about the storm sewer. Gennifer said the storm sewer line would be extended to the north property line to allow for parking in the rear of the retail center.

Randy said the trash dumpster that was planned to be in the southwest corner would now be placed on the northwest corner of the lot.

Doug Allison asked if there is an additional storm sewer inlet on the northwest corner of the site. Zack Siegrest said there would probably be a curb inlet there that will tie back into the parking lot.

Randy said Poe & Associates are the civil engineers contracted by the owner and is working together with Spangenberg Phillips Architecture on the design of the storm sewer system. Les Mangus said he is in agreement with this arrangement.

Doug Allison asked if the concrete retaining wall is stamped. Gennifer said it would match the existing fence to the north of the site. Les said there is a grade difference of about 3 feet between the drainage grading and the parking lot grade. 

Jeff Bridges asked if there would be lights on the back doors of the building. Randy said there would be wall pack lights with cut-offs  for security that will shine downward, not out into the neighborhood.

Doug Allison asked if there is accent masonry at the top of the piers on the front elevation. Gennifer said they are just light fixtures.

Charley Lewis said that on the drawing provided, all the font of the sign lettering is consistent. She was concerned about tenants having a signature logo and how this would look on the sign. Randy said the drawing is only a generic example of lettering and that each tenant would be allowed to use the business logos.

Doug Allison asked if colors have been proposed for the monument sign. Zack said the monument materials match the building. Randy said they do not know yet what color the tenant signage will be.

David Beaver asked if the font could remain consistent in color, yet allowing the lettering style to be individual. Randy said some national companies would not locate here if they were not allowed to have their recognized logo style and color selection. 

Doug Allison asked Larry Crouse if the plant selection met his approval. Larry said that it does.

Larry Crouse asked if the landscape plantings in the parking lot would be irrigated. Randy said that all plantings would be irrigated.

Kevin Dreiling made a motion to approve the plans as presented. Doug Allison seconded the motion. Motion carried 5/0.

Charley Lewis said she would like to see the motion include language asking the applicant to return with plans for signage. Les said the tenants would do these individually.

SP-2004-01: Revised Site Plan for the Andover Village Retail Center

Member Items: Charley Lewis reported the DEN Mechanical case from the last meeting is still working with PAI towards an agreement and that they plan to return to the next Site Plan meeting.

Kevin Dreiling said he noticed there is a Weigand "for sale" sign on the land across from Folgers Gymnastics.  Les Mangus said it is platted as part of the Industrial Park and has recently changed owners.

Charley Lewis asked why Walt's at 13^th and Andover Road have not been before the Site Plan Committee. Les said it is because they are not changing the appearance of the building. Jeff Bridges said they have not changed the base color of the building.

Charley Lewis asked about the status of Santa Maria's Mexican Restaurant. No one knew anything new about it.
