THANK YOU. TONIGHT OUR FIRST CASE AND ONLY CASE AS AIR BEFORE 2023 FOR CERTIFICATE PERFECT NOUS. FOR BUILDING EDITION AT 1 75 EAST MAIN STREET. THE APPLICANT IS L ARCHITECTURE LLC CARE GREG ELLER ON BEHALF OF THE INFINITE CHURCH. GOOD. WE HAVE THE STAFF RUN DOWN THIS THANK YOU. CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE BOARD . THE APPLICATION SITE IS LOCATED AT 1 75 EAST MAIN STREET. THE EXISTING STRUCTURE IS 8766 SQUARE FEET, AND IT WAS BUILT IN 2016. THE SCREEN SHOWS PICTURES OF THE EXISTING BUILDING. THE BOARD APPROVED THE ORIGINAL BUILDING WITH WAIVERS IN 2015 FOR NOAH'S EVENT CENTER. THE CURRENT OWNER IS INFINITE CHURCH. THEY HAVE OCCUPIED THE ABILITIES SINCE 2020. THE CURRENT APPLICATION IS FOR AN EXPANSION OF THE EXISTING BUILDING BY ADDING AN ADDITIONAL, UM APPROXIMATELY 5000 SQUARE FEET. THE EXPANSION CONSISTS OF THREE EDITIONS LOCATED ON THE. NORTHERN AND THE SOUTHERN AND ON THE EASTERN EASTERN ENTRY. BE ADDITION ON THE NORTH SIDE. HERE. THIS WOULD REMOVE AND REPLACE THE EXISTING PATIO. THE ADDITION CONSISTS OF TWO CLASSROOMS AND ONE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM THAT CAN BE USED AS GATHERING SPACE FOR AS A CLASSROOM. THE TWO STORY ADDITION ON THE SOUTH SIDE REPLACES AN EXISTING PATIO AS WELL. AND IT INCLUDES A FIRST FLOOR AND SECOND LEVEL MEZZANINE. THE SOUTHERN EDITION PROVIDES OFFICE SPACE IN A LARGE MULTIPURPOSE ROOM ON THE FIRST FLOOR AND SHARED WORKSPACE ON THE SECOND LEVEL MEZZANINE. THE ADDITION ON THE EAST SIDE. WOULD EXPAND THE FOYER AREA AND INCLUDE A CAFE SPACE. WEAVERS WERE PREVIOUSLY APPROVED FOR THIS SITE BY THE BOARD IN 2015, BECAUSE THE BUILDING WAS TOO SMALL. THE APPROVED WAIVERS FROM MAINE APPLICABLE AND THE CURRENT PROPOSAL FOR THE ADDITION DOES NOT EXPAND ANY WAIVER REQUEST.THE PROPOSAL REDUCES THE NONCONFORMING ASPECTS FOR THIS SITE AND BRINGS THE PROPERTY CLOSER TO CONFORMITY WITH CODE REQUIREMENTS. THE EXISTING MATERIAL ON THE BUILDING IS
[00:05:01]
BRICK. A THIN SET OF CLAY FIRE BRICK IS PROPOSED TO BE USED ON ALL FOUR SIDES OF THE BUILDING ADDITIONS. THAT WILL MATCH THE EXISTING BROOKE. CAST STONE IS USED FOR ACCENTS ON THE ADDITIONS IN ORDER TO MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING. HARDY BOARD PRODUCTS OR SIMILAR ARE PROPOSED TO BE USED FOR EXTERIOR E JUST STOP IT. SPEED AND SOFFITS. TO MATCH THE EXISTING BUILDING.STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF IS PROPOSED TO MATCH THE EXISTING TYPE SIZE AND COLOR. THE PROPOSAL INCLUDES SIERRA PACIFIC ALUMINUM CLAD WINDOWS WITH WOOD INSTALLED FRAMES. THE WINDOWS WOULD BE PAINTED THE SAME MOCHA COLOR TO MATCH THE EXISTING WINDOWS IS WHAT EXISTS TODAY.
BASED ON THE ELEVATIONS. IT APPEARS THAT THE WINDOWS WOULD MATCH BY PROVIDING SIMULATED DIVIDED LIGHT WITH TWO INCH GRIDS AND A SHADOW BAR IN BETWEEN THE GLASS. THE CITY STAFF RECOMMENDS THIS AS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL JUST TO GET THAT VERIFICATION. THE PROPOSED EXTERIOR DOORS ARE ALSO COMPRISED OF THIS SIERRA PACIFIC WINDOWS. THAT ARE ALUMINUM CLAD WITH WOOD SWING PANELS AND SIDELIGHTS INSTALLED IN THE FRAME. THE DOORS MATCH THE EXISTING DOORS ON SITE TODAY. AS FOR LIGHTING EXISTING WALL LIGHT FIXTURES ON THE BUILDING WILL REMAIN ANY LIGHTING THAT NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FOR THE ADDITIONS WILL BE RELOCATED. UM AFTER CONSTRUCTION SO THEY CAN RETAIN AND REUSE THEM WITH THE NEW ADDITION. ANY NEW OR REPLACEMENT FIXTURES ARE TOO MATCH EXISTING TIGHT MATERIAL AND COLOR, WHICH IS DARK BRONZE. ALUMINUM. FOR PARKING THE URBAN CENTER CODE REQUIRES AND MAXIMUM OF ONE SPACE PER 400 SQUARE FEET FOR THIS SITE. WITH THE PROPOSED EDITION, THE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES PERMITTED BY CODE IS 36. THE EXISTING OFF STREET PARKING PROVIDED ON STATE IS 21ST SORRY 91 SPACES. THEREFORE NO ADDITIONAL PARKING IS REQUIRED, AND THIS SITE IS STILL EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM PARKING REQUIREMENT. AS FOR SIGNAGE, YOU CAN SEE THE RENDERING PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANT ON THE SCREEN.
RIGHT HERE. THEY ARE REQUESTING REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ONE NEW WALL SIGN. THERE ARE TWO EXISTING SIGNS ON THE BUILDING, ONE ABOVE THE ENTRANCE ALONG THE ROAD ON THE FRONT AND ONE ABOVE THE ENTRANCE. AH, IN THE PARKING LOT. THE SIGN ON THE PARKING LOT SIDE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED TO ACCOMMODATE THE ENTRY EDITION. RIGHT HERE AND THEN THE NEW SIGN WILL BE PLACED ABOVE THE NEW DOOR. THE NEW SIGN WITH MATCH THE EXISTING SIGN, BUT IT WOULD BE SMALLER. TO FIT WITHIN THIS SPACE AND TO MEET CODE. THE APPLICANT PROVIDED DIFFERENT. RENDERING GRAPHICS. THIS IS THE UM SOUTHERN SIDE THAT FACES THE PARKING LOT. AND THESE AERIAL GRAPHICS, UM THE ONE ON THE LEFT . IS THIS SIDE FACING? UM THE PARKING LOT AND THEN THE ONE ON THE RIGHT IS THE SIDE FACING THE ROAD. HMM. IN SUMMARY THE CITY ARCHITECTED REVIEW THE PROPOSAL AND HE IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE APPLICANTS PLANS. IT DOES NOT APPEAR THAT THE ORIGINAL CHARACTER OF THE BUILDING OR SITE WOULD BE COMPROMISED AS PART OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EXPANSION. OVERALL IT APPEARS THAT THE ADDITIONS TO THE BUILDING WILL BE AN IMPROVEMENT TO THE SITE. THE ADDITION ENHANCES THE PARENT APPEARANCE OF THIS CORRIDOR. WITHIN THIS CITY BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATELY STYLED ADDITIONS TO THE BUILDING, LOCATED IN THE VILLAGE CENTER. GIVEN THE FACT THAT THE WAIVERS WERE ORIGINALLY REQUIRED AND EXPANDING. THE EXISTING STRUCTURE REDUCES THE NONCONFORMITY ASPECTS. OF THE EXISTING SITE IS POSITIVE. AND SHOULD BE BOARD APPROVED, THE APPLICATION STAFF WOULD RECOMMEND LIKE CONDITION LISTED IN THE STAFF REPORT AND STUFF
[00:10:04]
THAT'S AVAILABLE FOR QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM. COULD WE HEAR FROM? I'M SURE WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS FROM THE APPLICANT. UM. QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE. YEAH. YES, PLEASE. AND, UH, INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD, PLEASE. UM WHAT. IT'S A LITTLE VAGUE TO THE TO THE NORTH. UM ELEVATION. WHAT WHAT'S THE TRANSITION BETWEEN? THESE TWO EXTERIOR DOORS. AND WHAT MAY BE A PARKING LOT THERE. I THINK. WHOA ORIGINS. THIS WIDE OPEN ON THE PRESENT. ADAMS OVER US. WE WANTED TO KEEP BLOW SOURCES THEY SLIDE OVER. WE WOULD LEAVE THE PLACE BECAUSE. EVERY WANT OPEN. 321 MARK. SO. DUPLICATING THOSE DOORS AGAIN. ONLY YEARS SO THEY WAS WILD AS WELL. RIGHT? FROM THE SIDE. SO THIS IS THE DOOR HERE. AND THIS IS THE DOOR HERE, AND THESE ARE FIXED WITH THE SLIDES. YES. THOSE. THEY WERE JUST KIDS LIKE THEY CAN SLIDE RIGHT UP. OKAY UM, BUT WHAT'S OUTSIDE THESE DOORS? OTHER SIDE WALK, OKAY? I JUST HMM. OKAY.IT'S KIND OF CLOUDED OUT. HMM PRESENTLY NO. CAN YOU CAN SEE THE PATIO. IN THE PRESENT SLIDE NUMBERS SLIDE OUT ONTO THE PATIO. DUPLICATE THOSE DOORS THERE, PEOPLE TEACHING HERE SO WE CAN STILL SLIDE. YEP. ON THE SIDE. THOUGHTS. QUESTIONS FROM BOARD.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK THESE ARE EXISTING CONDITIONS. I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM UM, POINTER. UM THIS PORTION OF THE BUILDING HERE IS UNMODIFIED IS THAT CORRECT? AND ONE OF THE YEAH. THE REASON FOR MY QUESTION WAS THE HEAD HEIGHT OF THIS WINDOW AND THE BANDING COURSE NOT BEING IN STEP WITH THE REST OF THE BUILDING. BUT IF IT'S AN EXISTING CONDITION, I DON'T KNOW THAT THAT NEEDS TO BE. ADDRESSED AND I MY QUESTION HERE. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE SAME CONDITION HERE, TOO. THAT'S THAT'S EXISTING YOUR NEW CONSTRUCTION STARTS, RIGHT? HERE SO IT'S A. IT'S A TRICKY BUILDING IN SOME OF THE EXISTING CONDITIONS, BUT I WOULD SAY, I GUESS I WOULD. MY QUESTION WOULD BE THAT WITH THE PROPOSED UM, ADDITION HERE. I JUST WANT TO CONFIRM THAT THE EAVE HEIGHTS BENDING COURSES, ACCENT PANELS. EVERYTHING IS CONSISTENT IN ELEVATION WITH THE EXISTING TWO ELEMENTS TO EITHER SIDE OF THE MAIN ENTRY DOOR. WHETHER IT BE ON FRONT OR BACK IS THAT MY READING THAT CORRECTLY, OKAY? THANK YOU. UM ALSO THE WINDOW GRID PATTERN. HERE SPECIFICALLY OF THAT. SURE THESE ARE GOING TO MATCHES WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THIS MATCHES EXISTING. ONE OTHER FOLLOW UP QUESTION. YOU MENTIONED THAT THE BRICK EXCUSE ME THAT THE BRICK HAD MAKE, UM, THAT THE BRICK WILL MATCH. UH ARE YOU IN FACT MATCHING BY BY PRODUCT NAME AND STYLES THAT BRICK STILL AVAILABLE, OR ARE YOU JUST DOING AN AESTHETIC MATCH BASED ON CLOSEST COLOR? TRADING OFF. OKAY? OKAY? OKAY COME TO THE EXCUSE ME. COULD YOU COME TO THE MICROPHONE AND INTRODUCE YOURSELF? THANK YOU. SO. IF IT'S NOT. ABLE TO BE MATCHED. MY I'VE BEEN THERE. I CAN RELATE. UM IF YOU CAN'T GET A SUITABLE MATCH,
[00:15:06]
I WOULD QUESTION THE ADJACENT PLANE OF THIS ENTRY PIECE RIGHT HERE BEING IN THE SAME PLANE THAT WILL BE A VERY STARK TRANSITION THERE. I MEAN, IT COULD BE OVERCOME WITH THE CONTROL JOINT. BUT I WOULD JUST I DON'T KNOW THAT IT REQUIRES A CONDITION OF OUR BOARD WILL WILL GET TO THAT IN A MINUTE. BUT, UM IS IT STEP BACK FROM THIS PLANE? IT'S DIFFICULT TO. THESE SEVEN MAKES IT LOOKS RIGHT HERE. YEAH. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT A THREE FT OR JUST THE WIDTH OF THAT ENTRY DOOR RIGHT HERE AND THEN PLANT IT APPEARS TO BE THIS EDITION APPEARS TO BE IN THE SAME PLANE AS THIS EXISTING CONDITION AND I WOULD JUST OFFER UP THAT IF FOR SOME REASON YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT MATCH HAPPENED. I WOULD BE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF PUSHING THAT ELEMENT BACK SLIGHTLY JUST TO TRY TO HIDE THAT. THAT TRANSITION. AND THEN THE ONLY OTHER COMMENT I HAVE, AT LEAST FOR NOW IS THE IV HYPE OF THIS CORNICE RIGHT HERE REQUIRED DUE TO TRYING TO CREATE AN OCCUPIED SECOND FLOOR MEZZANINE AND IF NOT I JUST MIGHT SUGGEST, IS THAT IS THAT ALSO MATCHING THIS HEIGHT RIGHT HERE? OKAY, OKAY. OH, YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT. THIS PART IS EXISTING. BUT HERE YOU'RE MATCHING THE EXISTING INVITE IMMEDIATELY TO THE RIGHT. RIGHT HERE. YEAH. GOTCHA THERE IS THE TINIEST BIT OF SETBACK. I HAD TO ZOOM IN. YOU CAN YEAH. IT'S HARD TO SEE IT'S HARD TO TELL VERY SLIGHT. MAYBE. AND I POINTING RIGHT IF THE BRICK IS MATCHED.GREAT I DON'T THINK IT'S A CONFLICT. BUT IF IT'S NOT, THAT MAY BE A CONSIDERATION. MHM.
THAT'S ALL I HAVE. THANK YOU. ALONG THE SAME LINES. UM WAS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION GIVEN FOR INTRODUCING SOME BROADER SPACE OF ADDITIONAL MATERIAL. I JUST WANTED YOU LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORING BUILDINGS. YOU KNOW IT. CERTAINLY THIS GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF ONE EXISTING OR, YOU KNOW, TYING IN WITH THE EXISTING. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW ANYONE WITH THAT, UM, BUT BECAUSE IT BECOMES SUCH A LARGE , EXPANSIVE, BREAKING DOWN THE DIFFERENT AREAS EVEN WITH THE ENTRY IN THE REAR. YOU START TO SEE A LITTLE MORE OF THE DIFFERENT MATERIALS. I WAS WONDERING IF THERE'S ANY CONSIDERATION FOR IT'S MORE OF THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE WANTS STAFF TO WEIGH IN ON OUR CONVERSATION. WE, UM THEY DID PRESENT ELEVATIONS WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS, AND WE EXAMINED IT AGAINST THE D. G. R S. AND THE D . G R S CALL FOR NOT INTRODUCING NEW MATERIALS FOR THE, UM STYLE OF BUILDING THAT THIS IS BASED ON, UM THE URBAN CENTER CODE. AND WE ACTUALLY DID WORK WITH THEM, TOO. GET IT ALL TO MATCH WITH THE BRICK BASED ON THE DDR REQUIREMENTS. THAT'S WHAT THE CONVERSATION EVOLVED TO. YEAH.
I LIKE I DO LIKE THE LANDSCAPING THAT'S AT THE BUILDING. NOW. YOU'RE LOOKING TO CONTINUE THAT.
I TAKE IT, UM SOME OF THE I'M NOT SURE WHAT TYPE OF TREES. THESE ARE I CALLED HER. YEAH
[00:20:10]
YEAH, NO, NO, NO, BUT IT'S A LANDSCAPE DESIGN BECAUSE IT DOES HELP BREAK UP THE MASS. I'D LIKE TO SEE THAT THE STAFF ON THAT CONTINUE THAT TYPE OF LANDSCAPING COULD BE BUT WE WOULD BEFORE. I WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW.NICE JOB INTEGRATING THESE THREE SEPARATE SPACES INTO THE BUILDING OVERALL. GREAT. HMM.
MIGHT BE WILLING TO GO AHEAD WITH THE MOTION LESS. THERE'S ANY OTHER DISCUSSIONS. THE BOARD. I MOVE TO APPROVE. UM A OR B 40 DAYS 2023 FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITION. THE WINDOWS PROVIDE SIMULATED, DIVIDED LIGHT TO AND SCREEDS. IN THE SHADOW BAR BETWEEN THE GLASS TO MATCH EXISTING WINDOWS ON THE EXISTING BUILDING. AND THE LANDSCAPING THAT THE. THE APPLICANT WORK WITH STAFF ON LANDSCAPING, TOO. SO THAT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE REST OF THE VOTING. DO YOU WANT TO ADD THE CONDITION THAT MR MALLETS WAS SUGGESTING IF THEY CANNOT MATCH THE BREAK EXACTLY TO BUMP THAT OUT SO THAT THE TRANSITION IS SMOOTH AND NOT OBVIOUS. I THINK IT WAS JUST STEP BACK. STEP BACK , RIGHT? THE BRICK MATERIAL. UH CAN'T BE MATCHED THAT THE. IS THAT THE HYPHEN TO THE LEFT OF THE PILOTS STIR BE STEPPED BACK DOWN AS WELL. THE EAST AND WEST. ELEVATION. YEAH. THAT WOULD BE STEPPED BACK APPROPRIATELY FOR A BETTER TRANSITION. I'LL SECOND. MR HENSON. YES MR STROLLER? YES, MISS MORE. MR MALLETS? YES. MR DAVEY? YES MR BROWN? YES.
