[VI. Cases]
FORWARD WITH THE FIRST CASE AND ONLY CASE OF THIS EVENING FOR CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS TO ALLOW FOR PROPOSED FIRE STATION ON 6.35 ACRES. ITEM Z, ZEBRA C CHARLIE 80225. CAN WE HAVE STAFF REPORT, PLEASE? YES OF COURSE. AGAIN, THIS IS CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS TO ALLOW FOR A FIRE STATION. IT IS LOCATED ON THE WEST SIDE OF 605. THE NOTTINGHAM SUBDIVISION IS TO THE NORTH. THIS PROJECT WAS FORMALLY REVIEWED BY THE ARB IN JANUARY OF 2025, AND AT THAT TIME BOTH THE FIRE STATION AND BUS DEPOT WERE PROPOSED FOR THE SITE. RESIDENTS RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE BUS DEPOT, AND THE APPLICATION BEFORE YOU IS JUST FOR THE FIRE STATION.AT THAT INFORMAL MEETING, ARB PROVIDED FEEDBACK, INCLUDING CONTINUING THE WATER TABLE ALONG THE PROPOSED GARAGE AREA AND SPACING THE TRANSOM WINDOWS MORE EVENLY. BOTH THOSE REQUESTS HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE PLANS, AND YOU WILL SEE THAT LATER IN THE PRESENTATION. SO THIS IS JUST WHERE WE'RE AT. SO ON DECEMBER 18TH, 2025, THE ROCKY FORK BLACKLICK ACCORD HEARD THIS, HEARD THE REZONING PORTION OF THIS AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL.
PLANNING COMMISSION HEARD THE REZONING AT THEIR JANUARY 21ST, 2026 MEETING AND RECOMMENDED APPROVAL. TONIGHT. WE'RE HERE FOR A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR THIS APPLICATION. AND THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE FOR CITY COUNCIL FIRST READING IN FEBRUARY AND CITY COUNCIL SECOND READING IN MARCH. WHILE THE SITE IS 12.72 ACRES, THE APPLICANT INTENDS TO SPLIT THE LOT AND USE ONLY 6.35 ACRES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT. THERE IS A GAS LINE EASEMENT THAT RUNS THROUGH THE SITE AS SHOWN ON THE SITE PLAN. THE DEVELOPMENT MEETS APPLICABLE SETBACK REQUIREMENTS ONE. CURB CUTS PROPOSED OFF NEW ALBANY CONDIT ROAD. A LEISURE PATH IS SHOWN.
HOWEVER, THE APPLICANT NEEDS TO SHOW THE PROPOSED HORSE FENCE. 20 PARKING SPACES ARE PROPOSED AND SINCE THE CODIFIED ORDINANCES DO NOT HAVE PARKING REQUIREMENTS FOR FIRE STATIONS, THE PLANNING COMMISSION HAD DISCRETION AS TO HOW MANY SPACES WERE SUFFICIENT, AND THEY APPROVED THE AMOUNT OF SPACES AT THEIR MEETING LAST MONTH. REGARDS TO THE ARCHITECTURE. THE APPLICANT IS PROPOSING A BARN STYLE BUILDING WITH STEEL WALL PANELS AND A STONE WATER TABLE. HERE IS THE EAST ELEVATION FRONTING NEW ALBANY CONDIT ROAD. THE PROPOSED BUILDING FEATURES A VARIED ROOF DESIGN AND VERTICALLY PROPORTIONAL WINDOW PANES. HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE SUGGESTIONS MADE BY ARB BACK IN JANUARY OF 2025, INCLUDING CONTINUING THE WATER TABLE AND EVENLY SPACED WINDOWS. ALL GROUND EQUIPMENT IS SCREENED ON ALL FOUR SIDES, AND THE CITY ARCHITECT REVIEWED THE PROPOSED ELEVATIONS AND HAD A FEW COMMENTS THAT ARE CONDITIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT. AND HERE ARE JUST SOME MORE ELEVATIONS OF THE SOUTH ELEVATION, THE NORTH ELEVATION AND THE WEST ELEVATION, WHICH IS THE REAR. AND THEN JUST SHOWING THESE AGAIN, THE REAR, WHICH IS SHOWING THE WEST AND NORTH ELEVATION, AND THE FRONT IS SHOWING THE EAST AND SOUTH ELEVATION. THE DEVELOPMENT IS GENERALLY MEETING ALL LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING PARKING LOT LANDSCAPING, STREET TREES, PROTECTING THE STREAM, CORRIDOR ZONE AND NATURALLY SHAPED BASIN. HOWEVER, THE LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY REGARDING MOUNDING AND LANDSCAPING. THE APPLICANT HAS REQUESTED TO FOREGO THE MOUNDING ALONG THE STREET, AS WELL AS RELOCATE THE REQUIRED PLANTINGS ALONG THE FRONTAGE TO THE NORTHWEST CORNER. SO THOSE PLANTINGS WOULD HAVE BEEN HERE
[00:05:02]
AND THEY ARE ASKING TO RELOCATE THEM HERE. STAFF IS SUPPORTIVE OF THIS THROUGH THE UNIQUE USE OF THE SITE AND THE VISIBILITY FOR DRIVERS TO SEE FIRE TRUCKS EXITING THE SITE. STAFF CONDITIONS THAT THE APPLICANT SHOWED, THE RELOCATED PLANTINGS IN THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF THE SITE. AND JUST TO NOTE, NO SIGNAGE IS PROPOSED AT THIS TIME. STAFF RECOMMENDS A CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT SIGNAGE BE EVALUATED AND SUBJECT TO STAFF APPROVAL. THE APPLICANT ALSO SUBMITTED A PHOTOMETRIC PLAN AND THE SITE HAS ZERO FOOT CANDLES AT THE PROPERTY LINES. AND LASTLY, STAFF RECOMMENDED CONDITION OF APPROVAL, REQUIRING THAT ALL LIGHT POLES NOT EXCEED 30FT IN HEIGHT AND BE CONSTRUCTED OF METAL WITH A BLACK OR NEW ALBANY GREEN FINISH. SO IN SUMMARY, THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS SUPPORTS DEVELOPMENT OF A CRITICAL PUBLIC SAFETY USE. THE LOCATION PROVIDES EFFICIENT ACCESS FOR BOTH PLAIN TOWNSHIP AND THE CITY. THE PROPOSAL ALIGNS WITH THEIR CORE PLANS, FUTURE FIRE STATION LOCATION. THE LAYOUT ACCOMMODATES OPERATIONAL NEEDS WHILE PRESERVING A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF GREEN SPACE. THE PROJECT MEETS OR EXCEEDS MOST ZONING AND SETBACK REQUIREMENTS.ASIDE FROM THE CONDITIONS AND THE STAFF REPORT AND THE BUILDING ORIENTATION AND DESIGN REINFORCE A STRONG CIVIC PRESENCE. AND HERE ARE THE CONDITIONS WHICH ARE AT THE END OF MY STAFF REPORT. AND I'M HERE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. SO COULD I REMEMBER THE BUS GARAGE COMBO BUT I DON'T REMEMBER THE BUILDING. DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF THAT? YEAH. SO IT WAS A IT WAS SUBSTANTIALLY LARGER THAN WHAT IS PROPOSED TODAY. CAN YOU GIVE ME THE ALL OF THE ELEVATIONS? I JUST WANT TO SEE IT. OH I'M SORRY. THE ONLY ONE THAT WAS IN THE POWERPOINT THAT THEY PRESENTED IN JANUARY WAS THE FRONT ELEVATION. SO WE DIDN'T WE NEVER SAW A WE NEVER SAW THE OTHER ELEVATIONS OR THAT'S THE ONLY ELEVATION WE EVER SAW. I THINK THIS WAS THE. OKAY. GOOD. YEAH. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I DIDN'T MISS SOMETHING. YEAH, I THINK IT WAS MULTIPLE ADDITIONS. YES, BUT I THINK THEY HAD A SITE PLAN WITH TWO CURB CUTS, AS I RECALL. YEAH. OKAY. THEN THEN. OKAY. SO I'VE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION.
YEAH. LET'S SEE I KNOW I GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT. I'M GOING TO FORGET MY SECOND QUESTION.
NOW WHAT LET ME FOR THE FOR THE FOR THE TIME BEING THEN DEFER TO MR. HENSON WHO I RUDELY INTERRUPTED. NOT AT ALL. MR. BRIGHTON. PLEASE CONTINUE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I, I DON'T I THINK IT'S A LOVELY. IMPROVEMENT TO THE BUILDING AND I'M GLAD THEY TOOK OUR COMMENTS.
AS NOTED. AND CAN I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER COMMENTS RIGHT NOW. CAN WE GO TO THE I GUESS, DOES THE APPLICANT HAVE ANYTHING PREPARED TO SAY OR REALLY MORE TO JUST RESPOND TO QUESTIONS? I SHOULD HAVE NOTED THAT THE APPLICANT, SEAN SHAW ARCHITECTS, MR. NATHAN GAMMELLA. YES, SIR.
NATHAN SHOW ARCHITECT, PROJECT EXECUTIVE. THE ONLY COMMENT THAT I'LL NOTE IS THAT CITY ARCHITECTS COMMENTS. YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE ARE FOUR WINDOWS ON THE MAIN FACADE THERE. THERE'S ONE OF THE OPTIONS TO RESPOND TO THE COMMENTS. WE WILL REDUCE THAT TO THREE WINDOWS TO MEET THE CITY ARCHITECTS COMMENTS, AS WELL AS COORDINATING WITH THE DEED RESTRICTIONS FROM THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY. THAT'S ALL I GOT. THERE'S NO CITY ART. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. THERE'S NO CITY ARCHITECT. COMMENTS FOR THE REAR OF THE BUILDING ABOVE THE. NORTH SIDE. CAN WE GO TO THE ELEVATIONS? NO, THE THE LINE ELEVATION. OH I'M SORRY. YEAH, THAT THAT ONE. OKAY, SO THERE ARE NO COMMENTS ON ELEVATIONS TWO, 3 OR 4 SOMETHING. I WILL NOTE THAT A NORTH ELEVATION TWO SIERRA, COULD YOU ACTUALLY BACK. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THAT. WE KIND OF HAD THAT AWKWARD SLOPE. LOOK AT THE SMALLER PORTION OF THE BUILDING. IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT ONE, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER. WE REVISED THAT KIND OF TO BE TWO GABLES OF PROPER PROPORTION, TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE IN LINE WITH NEW ALBANY ARCHITECTURE.
OKAY. AND THE CITY ARCHITECT'S COMMENTS DID DID REFLECT CHANGES TO THE CUPOLA, AS I RECALL, THE, THE A LITTLE BIT OF MAKING SURE THAT WE HAD THE DETAILS AND THE LOUVERS APPEARANCE AND THAT. YES. SO LET ME GO BACK TO THE NORTH ELEVATION AGAIN FROM THERE.
OKAY. SO YEAH, THAT ONE. SO I DON'T SEE ANY WINDOWS. I MEAN THAT'S JUST NOTHING BUT WALLS.
AND AT LEAST FROM THE FOUR SIDED ARCHITECTURE STANDPOINT, THAT TROUBLES ME. OKAY. THAT AGAIN, NEW ALBANY TALKS ABOUT FOUR SIDED ARCHITECTURE. THAT'S A TERRIBLE ELEVATION. SO THE ELEVATION ITSELF. SO THAT IS THE RESIDENTIAL BUNK ROOM PORTION OF THE FIRE STATION. SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE WEST ELEVATION, THEY'RE FAR LEFT OF PAGE. YOU'LL SEE TWO WINDOWS INTO THAT AREA AND FOUR ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE THAT REFLECTS EACH ROOM. THAT IS A BUNKED AREA. WE NEED TO MAXIMIZE BEDROOMS AND AND LAMINATE CASEWORK ALL THROUGHOUT THAT AREA, AS WELL AS TRYING TO GET TO MAKE SURE THAT FIRE PERSONNEL CAN TREAT THIS SPACE
[00:10:01]
LIKE A HOME. ADDITIONALLY, YOU KNOW, RIGHT UP AGAINST THAT AREA, THERE'S A CORRIDOR THAT RUNS DOWN THE CENTER. YOU HAVE A LAUNDRY STORAGE IN THERE AND THINGS LIKE THAT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN UTILIZE IT LIKE A HOME. SO AGAIN, FROM MY STANDPOINT, AND MAYBE ADAM HAS SOME SUGGESTIONS, BUT THAT'S JUST COMPLETELY UNDECORATED. I MEAN IT, ADAM. ANY ANY AM I WRONG? I MEAN, IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE NEED SOMETHING. IF THIS WERE BRICK, I'D SAY PUT SOME FAUX BRICK WINDOWS. BUT WHAT CAN WE DO HERE TO TO TO ADD SOME INTEREST TO THAT, BECAUSE IT'S JUST AWFUL. WELL, GO TO THE SITE PLAN HAS IT VISIBLE. THE SITE PLAN IS COMPLETELY FROM THE NORTH AND IT'S SURROUNDED BY TREES. IT WOULD NEVER BE AN ELEVATION OTHER THAN OTHER THAN IN WINTER, OTHER THAN IN WINTER. EVEN THEN IT'S IT MIGHT BE DEBATABLE, AND I DON'T NECESSARILY NEED TO HAVE THAT DEBATE TODAY. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE SITE PLAN, IF SARAH, IF YOU WANT TO PULL THAT UP, WE CAN KIND OF ADDRESS POTENTIAL RELOCATING OF TREES AROUND THAT PARTICULAR FACADE. THE LANDSCAPE PLAN MIGHT BE MORE EFFECTIVE FOR THIS EXERCISE. THANK YOU. SO YOU CAN SEE WE'VE GOT TREES PLANTED ALL THROUGHOUT THAT AREA. AND WE'RE RIGHT UP AGAINST THE STREAM CORRIDOR PROTECTION NOT RIGHT UP AGAINST. WE ARE FACING THE STREAM CORRIDOR PROTECTION ZONE IN THAT AREA. IT WOULD BE A VERY SELDOMLY SEEN FACADE AS A RESULT OF THAT. AGAIN, FOR ME, IT'S NOT FORESIGHTED ARCHITECTURE. UNDERSTOOD. WHAT CAN YOU DO IF I WANT SOME INTEREST THERE? FOUNDATION PLANTINGS. BUT ISN'T THERE SOMETHING WE COULD DO TO ADD SOME INTEREST OTHER THAN A BLANK WALL OR A WINDOW? I THINK BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME DIFFERENT PROJECTIONS OUT OF THE BUILDING, IT DOES CREATE INTEREST. I FEEL LIKE IF YOU PUT SOME WINDOWS IN THERE, IT WOULDN'T LOOK PLACED PROPERLY BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE HEIGHT TO SUPPORT THAT. BUT YOU DO HAVE THREE DIFFERENT HEIGHTS AND SOME SETBACKS. SO AND BECAUSE IT IS A LESS IMPORTANT PART OF THE BUILDING ON THE SIDE, I THINK, I THINK IT'S OKAY. YEAH. I WOULDN'T WANT TO I WOULDN'T WANT TO FAKE A WINDOW EITHER IN THAT ELEVATION. AND ANYTHING THAT WOULD POTENTIALLY DRESS THAT UP, YOU KNOW, WOULD LIKELY RESULT IN A UNIQUE ASPECT OF THE BUILDING AS WELL, WHICH WOULD NOT BE FEATURED ANYWHERE ELSE.YOU KNOW, YOU COULD PUT LIGHTING OUT THERE, MAYBE, BUT LIGHTING WOULD DO NOTHING NECESSARILY. THERE'S NO EXIT AT THAT LOCATION. YOU KNOW, I'M WILLING TO HEAR OTHER THINGS FROM THE BOARD. I JUST I'M NOT 100% SURE OFF THE TOP OF THE HEAD. WHAT WOULD SATISFY THOSE REQUIREMENTS? WHAT ABOUT THE SCALE OF THE GABLE THAT. COULD WE GO BACK TO THE NORTH ELEVATION? YEAH. SO ACTUALLY, IF WE DON'T MIND USING THAT RENDERING JUST AS A, AS A POINT, I KNOW IT'S KIND OF BRASH, NOT THE BEST ELEVATION. SO WHAT YOU DO IS HAVE SORT OF CASCADING ROOF LINES IN HERE ALIGNED GABLE. SO YOU HAVE THE APPARATUS BAY, WHAT I'M CALLING SORT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AREA, WHICH IS WHERE THE CUPOLA IS ON TOP OF. YOU HAVE THE FIRST GABLE BENEATH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AREA. SO THAT IS SEPARATED BY A FIREWALL. AND THAT AREA CONTAINS RESTROOMS AND A LAUNDRY ROOM AT THE BACK END THERE. AND THEN SITTING IN FRONT OF THAT IS THE BUNK ROOM. WE REALLY TRIED TO BALANCE THOSE ELEVATIONS, THE SIZES OF THE GABLE TO MATCH SORT OF WHAT WAS IN WHAT WE BELIEVE SATISFIES, MEETS, SATISFIES THE FORESIGHTED ARCHITECTURAL REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS BEING VISUALLY PLEASING FROM THAT ASPECT. IT'S ACTUALLY PRETTY. IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING TRYING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE MEETING, YOU KNOW, THE BUDGET IN TERMS OF SQUARE FOOTAGE OF THE PROJECT WHILE BALANCING EVERYTHING THAT WE WOULD NEED TO MAKE THIS BUILDING REALLY FEEL LIKE A HOME FOR THE FIRE STATION PERSONNEL AND STAFF. YOU KNOW, WE'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT ARE THE THEY NEED INDIVIDUAL RESTROOMS WITH CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS AND THERE ARE PLENTY OF STORAGE.
THEY NEED A LAUNDRY ROOM. THEY NEED FOLDING AREA. THEY NEED MULTIPLES OF THOSE. THEY CAN GET THAT ALL WORKING TOGETHER AND THEN MAKING IT AN AREA AS WELL THAT WE DON'T WANT TO, YOU KNOW, PUT SO MUCH OUT ON THIS THING THAT IT'S NOT SLEEPABLE THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO SLEEP.
RESPOND TO EMERGENCIES WHEN THE ALARMS GO OFF AND GO. SO WE'VE TRIED TO FOCUS ON MAKING THIS AS ACCESSIBLE TO THEM AS POSSIBLE. IS IT A SECOND LEVEL IN THE CENTER PORTION OR IS THAT JUST ONE MORE TIME? IS IT A SECOND LEVEL OR IS IT JUST THERE IS. SO THERE IS A THE APPARATUS BAY IS JUST HIGH FOR BEING AN APPARATUS BAY. AND THEN IT IS THERE'S A MEZZANINE LEVEL WHERE THOSE FOUR WINDOWS ARE PLACED OVER THE MAIN AREA. SO THERE'S A FIRE STATION TRAINING AREA. SO IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S A MEZZANINE WITH AN EQUIPMENT PLATFORM. SO THERE IS SOME OF OUR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT IN THE BUILDING UP ON THAT LEVEL, BOILERS, THINGS LIKE THAT. AND THEN THE OTHER HALF OF THAT IS A TRAINING MEZZANINE. SO WE WENT AROUND AND VISITED ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT FIRE STATIONS. AND IT'S REALLY COOL WHAT THEY DO.
THEY CALL THEM PROPS. THEY CAN BUILD FAKE HOUSES UP THERE. THEY GOT SMOKE MACHINES, THEY THROW TEDDY BEARS ALL OVER THE AREA, AND YOU RUN IN THERE AND YOU MAKE SURE THAT ON THE DAY YOU NEED TO DO SO. WE'VE GOT A TRAINING MEZZANINE UP THERE FOR THAT USE. YEAH I WOULD THE FOUR DIFFERENT ROOF LEVELS THERE THAT YOU SEE IN THE REAR WEST NORTH ELEVATION JUST FEELS LIKE
[00:15:01]
IT'S IT'S TOO MANY. LIKE IF IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF A FOOT OR TWO, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WOULDN'T JUST CARRY ACROSS THAT ROOF FROM THE, FROM THE APPARATUS. YEAH. ANOTHER THING THAT WAS A PART OF THIS BOARD'S AND THE INFORMAL WHICH WAS 24, I BELIEVE, NOT 25TH JANUARY WAS THE EVE BREAK. THERE WAS CRITICAL. THE NEW ALBANY COMPANY AS WELL UPHELD. YOU NEED TO HAVE A BREAK BETWEEN THE ENTRY PORTION AND THE APPARATUS BAY. AND, YOU KNOW, THE APPARATUS BAY REALLY IS THAT PART OF THE BUILDING WHICH IS GOING TO BE THE TALLEST PIECE, NO MATTER WHAT THE EXISTING FIRE STATION AT 9500 JONESTOWN ROAD, YOU CAN'T GET AWAY FROM HOW MASSIVE THAT APPARATUS BAY IS. FIRE STATION STAFF NEED TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO SERVICE THEIR VEHICLES. AND SO WE TRIED TO BRING THAT UP AS HIGH AS WE COULD ADJACENT. SO THAT'S THE MEZZANINE WAS USEFUL, YOU KNOW, GETTING A LITTLE MORE THAN EIGHT FEET IN THERE FOR OUR STAFF TO BE ABLE TO DO THE TRAINING THAT THEY NEED AND THEN CASCADE DOWN FROM THERE. WE DID LOOK AT RENDERINGS WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAD THE BREAK OPPOSITE WHERE THE ADMINISTRATIVE WING WAS. THE ONE THAT YOU ENTERED INTO WAS BIGGER. IT JUST AND THEN YOU HAVE SMALLER THINGS BESIDE THERE. YOU'RE JUST REALLY STARTING TO FEEL EVEN MORE DISPROPORTIONAL. NOT THAT I THINK THAT THE BUILDING WIDTH IS DISPROPORTIONAL IN ANY WAY. I THINK IT'S A GREAT DESIGN. AND I DISAGREED WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT IN REMOVING THAT MAIN ENTRY GABLE, SO I'M GLAD TO HEAR THAT STAYING. YOU'RE JUST GOING TO ADD THE THREE WINDOW BALANCES AS OPPOSED TO THE FOUR. HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT INCREASING THE THE PITCH OF THE CUPOLA, WHICH I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND, THAT IT SEEMED TO ME YOU WOULD WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT SAME PITCH OF THE ROOFLINE. YEAH, I THINK WE STEEPENED IT A BIT IN THE ELEVATION SINCE THEN, BUT JUST JUST A COUPLE PERCENTAGE ON THAT. OKAY. THERE'S REALLY NO LANDSCAPING BETWEEN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH AND THIS NORTH ELEVATION. THERE'S THERE IS ADDITIONAL LANDSCAPING AS WELL. WE HAVE ALL OF THE EXISTING TREES THAT ARE IN THAT STREAM CORRIDOR PROTECTION ZONE, WHICH WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GO INTO. THERE IS A 40, EXCUSE ME, 90 FOOT SETBACK, 45 ON EACH SIDE OF THE CENTER LINE OF THAT STREAM. SO IF YOU GO OVER THERE NOW, I MEAN, YOU CANNOT SEE THAT EVEN IN THE WINTER. IT IS IT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE DISTANCE, EXTREMELY HARD TO SEE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. WE ARE ADDING MORE TREES TO THAT AREA. WE'RE RELOCATING THOSE FOR THE SOUTH EAST PORTION OF THE SITE NORTH AS WELL, AND THEN FACILITATING MORE PLANTINGS IN THERE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS BUILDING IS AS SCREENED AS POSSIBLE. SO GIVE ME IF YOU CAN GET AGAIN TO THE TO THE LINE DRAWINGS ELEVATION OF THE THREE ELEVATIONS. SO HERE ON IF WE JUST ABOVE THAT BAY THEN NOW GO TO GO TO THE THE ONE THAT GIVES GIVES THE THE AERIAL VIEW. THERE'S NOT TOO MUCH THERE IN OUR PLANS OKAY. NEVER MIND TAKE IT BACK. SO ON IN WHAT I HAVE. THERE IS THAT SHOWN UP ABOVE THIS, THIS BAY? YES. IT DISAPPEARS ON WHAT YOU WHAT'S ON THE SCREEN? YEAH. WE'VE GONE AND CONTINUED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE GIVING EVERYTHING THAT WE CAN TO THE PERSONNEL. SO I TALKED ABOUT THAT TRAINING MEZZANINE. SO WHAT THAT IS THERE IS ACTUALLY A WINDOW OF SORTS. IT IS A HALF HEIGHT HIGH DOOR WHICH WILL BE PAINTED WHITE. IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE TRIM AROUND IT SO THAT IT MATCHES THE REST OF THE BUILDING, BUT THAT IT HAS NO HARDWARE ON THE EXTERIOR. FIRE STATION STAFF CAN UNLOCK THAT, OPEN IT, AND THAT'S HOW THEY PROTECT AND NOT PRETEND. EXCUSE ME? THEY TRAIN OF HAVING A WINDOW INTO THAT SPACE. SO YOU IMAGINE YOU PULL UP THAT SET THAT WE MADE, MAKE A HOUSE. SO IT SHOULD BE SHOWN THERE. JUST. YES. YES, SIR. IT SHOULD BE ALL RIGHT. SO I GET, I GET AGAIN JUST AS MR. MR. DAVIS, I MEAN, YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF FENESTRATION THAT I'M, I MEAN IF IF BECAUSE IT IS SLEEPING ROOMS I DON'T FEEL THE NEED FOR NECESSARILY ADDITIONAL WINDOWS. YOU MIGHT LOOK AT DAYLIGHTING WINDOWS, BUT THAT WOULD FEEL OUT OF PLACE FOR THIS TYPE OF BUILDING. THEN I'LL THEN I'LL THEN I'LL BACK OFF. AND YOU'RE ALSO AGAIN FROM MY STANDPOINT, I SEE THIS BLANK SPACE. I DON'T SEE ANY SYMMETRY HERE. AND SO I'M KIND OF I'M MISSING THAT. BUT MAYBE THERE'S BUT IF YOU'RE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT IT THEN I'M NOT GOING TO I WAS GOING TO CALL ATTENTION. SO THE WINDOW HEAD HEIGHTS AND IT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN THE PACKET WE RECEIVED. BUT JUST THESE ARE THE SAME HEAD HEIGHTS.AND THEN THE DOOR DROPS DOWN AND THEN THIS DOOR POPS UP AND THEN THIS DOOR DROPS DOWN. IS IS THERE ANY REASON WHY THEY COULDN'T ALL SHARE A SIMILAR HEAD HEIGHT AND STRIKE A LINE ACROSS THERE? SO WITH THE WINDOWS MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE KEEPING THE SAME WINDOW PROPORTIONS EVERYWHERE, YOU KNOW, WE COULD MAYBE GET A LITTLE BIT MORE OUT OF THAT DOOR TO JUST ALIGN THAT IN REGARDS TO THE OVERHEAD DOOR. SO THAT OPENS RIGHT UP INTO THE
[00:20:04]
FITNESS SPACE, THE EXERCISE ROOM FOR THE FIRE STATION PERSONNEL. WE WANTED TO GIVE THEM AS MUCH AREA TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THINGS IN AND OUT OF THERE AND DO ADEQUATE TRAINING EXERCISES. SO THAT'S THE REASON FOR ITS HEIGHT. BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY TRY TO GET THAT DOOR HEAD ON ON BOTH SIDES OF THE OVERHEAD DOOR JUST TO COME UP A LITTLE BIT OR BRING THE WINDOW DOWN JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET FULL SYMMETRY INTO THAT AREA. BUT I WOULD LIKE THAT. DO YOU HAVE PREFERENCE IF THE DOOR GOES UP OR THE WINDOW GOES DOWN, WINDOW DOWN WOULD BE EASIER THAN DOOR. I WOULD LOOK AT IT ACROSS ALL SIDES THAT YOU'RE NOT RAISING ONE WINDOW HERE.AND THEN ON THIS SIDE IT'S HERE. I WOULD I WOULD LIKELY BRING UP THE DOOR TO MATCH THE WINDOW HEAD HEIGHT, BUT WITHOUT SEEING ALL OF THE PLAN. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE CORRECT ANSWER IS, BUT DOOR MIGHT BE EASIER THEN. YEAH, YEAH. WOULDN'T BRINGING THE WINDOW DOWN PULL IT INTO THE WATER TABLE? OH, I WAS JUST ONLY SOLELY SPEAKING OF THE HEAD HEIGHT OF THE WINDOW. SO THAT THE WINDOW HEIGHT, I THINK IT'S FOUR FOOT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. IT MIGHT GO DOWN TO THREE FOOT EIGHT, THREE FOOT TEN. DO YOU KNOW IF THOSE ARE SIX, EIGHT DOORS OR EIGHT FOOT DOORS? THOSE ARE THOSE ARE SEVEN FOOT TALL DOORS. THEY'RE SEVEN FOOT TALL. YES AND YES.
ARE THEY BOTH SEVEN FEET TALL? NOT THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE, BUT THE TWO ON BOTH SIDES. THREE, THREE BY SEVEN LEAVES WITH WITH TRIM WITH THE DOOR FRAME AROUND THEM. OKAY. MAYBE ON THIS ANGLE IT LOOKS DIFFERENT, BUT. OKAY. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. I THINK I HAVE EXPRESSED THE THINGS THAT I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. SO OTHER THAN THOSE RESERVATIONS. THAT'S IT. IF YOU CAN STEAL, SATISFY ME BY FOLLOWING MR. DAVIES COMMENT. THANK YOU AND I'LL GO AWAY. MR. CHAIRMAN. PARDON ME.
THERE'S SOMEONE HERE FROM THE PUBLIC TO SEE IF ANYONE PUBLIC WANTS TO COMMENT. SURE. ANYONE FROM THE PUBLIC LIKE TO COMMENT ON THIS? THANK YOU. SEEING NONE, I'LL MAKE A MOTION FOR APPROVAL OF CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR APPLICATION Z C 80 2026 WITH THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS.
