SEEING NONE, I'LL
[VI. Cases]
MOVE F WITH THETHE FIRST CASE OF A OR B 57 2026 IS ENGLEFIELD OIL SIGNING CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND WAIVERS. DO WE HAVE STAFF REPORT PLEASE? ABSOLUTELY. SO THIS IS A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR A MONUMENT SIGN THAT IS ESSENTIALLY THE SAME AS THE EXISTING SIGN, BUT IT IS RETURNING TO THE ARB BECAUSE IT IS BEING MOVED SLIGHTLY FARTHER INTO THE LOT. SO AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS IS IN THE INTERCHANGE AREA SOUTH OF THE COMMUNITY TRUST CORE. IT IS ALSO NEAR THE GANTON AREA WITH NATIONWIDE AND EDGE HILL. AS YOU CAN SEE, THE CONSTRUCTION OF NATIONWIDE THERE. SO HERE IS THE SITE THAT'S IN DISCUSSION WITH THE RED DOTS SHOWING THE LOCATION OF THE EXISTING IDENTICAL MONUMENT SIGNS, WHICH WERE APPROVED BY THE ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW BOARD IN JULY OF 2019 WITH THE SAME TWO WAIVERS, THE CITY HAS EXPANDED FEAST AND DRIVE, WHICH IS THIS ROAD HERE. IT IS NOW CALLED GANTON PARKWAY AND ENGLEFIELD OIL HAS ALLOWED THE OF WAY ALONG THIS ROAD HERE TO EXPAND AGAIN.AND SO THE CITY IS TAKING CARE OF THAT SIGN THAT WILL BE PUSHED BACK DUE TO THAT RIGHT OF WAY DEDICATION. SO THE CITY IS BRINGING THIS TO THE ARB BECAUSE OF THAT ROAD EXPANSION PROJECT. THIS IS HOW THE ROAD WIDENING LOOKS. I HAD A RED LINE HERE SOMEWHERE TO SHOW WHERE THE EXISTING ROAD IS, BUT IT'S NOT THERE. BUT YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHERE IT IS TO WHERE IT WAS. AND TODAY IT IS EXPANDED OUT HERE. SO THE FENCE, THE LEISURE TRAIL AND THE SIGN HAS ALL BEEN PUSHED BACKWARDS AGAIN, FARTHER INTO THAT LOT. THE EXISTING SIGN IS RIGHT ABOUT HERE. AND THE RELOCATED SIGN, YOU CAN SEE IT'S JUST ADJACENT TO IT. I THINK IT'S ABOUT 9 OR 10FT PUSHED INTO THE LOT. AGAIN, THE SIGN IS THE EXACT SAME AS THE EXISTING SIGNS. BOTH MONUMENT SIGNS ARE THE SAME EXCEPT FOR MINOR FACE CHANGES AND AUTOMATIC CHANGEABLE NUMBERS. SO THIS IS THE EXISTING SIGN. AS YOU CAN SEE, THEY'VE JUST MOVED THE LOGO TO THE SIDE HERE. WHEN APPROVED IN 2019, THE BOARD AGREED THAT WHILE THE MONUMENT SIGNS WERE NOT COMPLETELY WITHIN CODE, WHICH ARE THE WAIVERS WHICH I WILL DISCUSS, THEY ARE APPROPRIATE. BEING SO CLOSE TO THE FREEWAY AND BEING SO CLOSE TO THE COMMUNITY TRUST CORE AND IN REGARD TO THEIR SITE PLAN. SO FOR WAIVER A, BOTH WAIVERS ARE DUE TO THE PUD NOT TO BASE CODE, AND SO WAIVER A ALLOWS THE SIGN TO BETTER CONFORM TO THE COMMUNITY TRUST CORE SIGNAGE STANDARDS BY ALLOWING IT TO NOT BE INCORPORATED WITH THE FENCE.
INSTEAD, IT IS FREESTANDING. THE WAIVER WOULD PRESERVE AN APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT PATTERN OF DEVELOPMENT, BOTH WITH SIGNAGE OUTSIDE OF THE SITE, SUCH AS THESE SIGNS HERE. THESE ARE ALL WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TRUST CORE. YOU CAN SEE THE PROPOSED RELOCATED SIGN IS QUITE IDENTICAL TO THESE TWO GAS STATION SIGNS, AND IT IS ALSO APPROPRIATE FOR THE OTHER SIGN THAT IS REMAINING WITHIN THE SITE. THE OTHER MONUMENT SIGN BEING NOT CONNECTED TO THAT FENCE. WAIVER B AS WELL. THE COLORS ARE NOT OVERLY BRIGHT OR OBNOXIOUS, AND IT IS
[00:05:02]
A WAIVER TO THE PUD NOT TO BASE CODE. THERE ARE TWO TENANTS WHICH NECESSITATES TWO LOGOS AS YOU CAN SEE. SO THE WAIVER MEETS THE INTENT OF THE REQUIREMENT. AGAIN, BOTH WAIVERS ARE THE EXACT SAME AND HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED AS AS THESE THESE SIGNS AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON BEHALF OF THE APPLICANT FOR THE CITY. ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU. ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE ON THE BOARD? I'LL JUST COMMENT. THIS IS A NO BRAINER. YOU'RE HAVING TO DO IT BECAUSE THE CITY MADE A MOVE TO SIGN IT BEFORE. SO AS THAT IT'S A NO BRAINER. JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THIS PANINI TRUST.RELATES SIGN CODE. ET-CETERA. CAN YOU GIVE ME JUST ONE MORE EXPLANATION OF THAT OR MAYBE AN EXPLANATION? YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I THINK IT'S MOSTLY DUE TO THE USE. IT ALIGNS MORE WITH THE USES OF THIS INTERCHANGE AREA AS A, YOU KNOW, VERY GENERAL WHOLE TO THE COMMUNITY TRUST CORE UP HERE WITH SIMILAR GAS STATION SIGNAGE AS OPPOSED TO, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE USED TO BE MORE SIMILARLY ZONED AROUND HERE, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY SITE WITH THIS ZONING. SO NOW THE TERM IS NORTH. YES, YES, YES. THAT'S TRUE. SO IT ISN'T AS IF IT WOULD BY ITS TERMS APPLY HERE, BUT IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT'S ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHICH WAS OKAY. YES. SO THAT'S ALL I HAD. BUT YEAH, THIS IT'S A NO BRAINER. OKAY.
WE APPROVE THE. APPROPRIATENESS BOTH WAIVERS AUTOMATICALLY. OR DO YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH EACH. I DON'T HAVE ANY THERE ARE NO ISSUES. I THINK WE HAVE TO DO IT UNLESS THE CORPORATE PREFERS SOMETHING ELSE. ONE MOTION I WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS A OR B57-2026. I SECOND. AND YEAH, WAIVERS BOTH FLAVORS. MR. BROWN YES.
MISS. MOORE YES. MR. HENSON YES. MR. MALLETS. YES. MR. ITEM. YES. MR. BABY YES. YES. THE MOTION PASSES WITH ALL VOTES TO APPROVE THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS AND WEAVERS.
OKAY. OUR NEXT CASE IS ER B 59 2026 FOR THE. INFINITE CHURCH CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS.
THE APPLICANT IS CLARINEX. DO WE HAVE A STAFF REPORT, PLEASE? YES. SO AS YOU SAID, THIS IS A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR A NEW CHURCH BUILDING. OVERE AND THE NEXT CASE ARE VERY SIMILAR IN THE CIVIC USES, RESULTING IN THEM MEETING THEIR APPROVAL PER SECTION EIGHT OF THE. AS A REMINDER, THE IRB IS TO REVIEW THE NEW BUILDING AND ARCHITECTURE OF THE PROPOSED CHURCH, IN THIS CASE OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE CENTER AND ALL OTHER ELEMENTS SUCH AS LANDSCAPING AND PARKING WILL BE EVALUATED EVALUATED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION. WHEN THE CHURCH SUBMITS A PRELIMINARY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND FINAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT. SO THIS IS LOCATED ALONG WALTON PARKWAY, EAST OF BOB EVANS BUILDING AND SOUTH OF CEDARBROOK NEIGHBORHOOD OUTSIDE OF THE VILLAGE CENTER, AND THE SITE IS CURRENTLY UNDEVELOPED WITH ANOTHER UNDEVELOPED SITE TO THE WEST. THIS JUST SHOWS THE OVERALL SITE PLAN OF THE BUILDING. THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO CONSTRUCT A 46,744 SQUARE FOOT CHURCH WITH ASSOCIATED PARKING, AND THE PROPOSED LAYOUT MEETS ALL CODE REQUIREMENTS WITHIN THE ELK GROVE WEST PUD ZONING DISTRICT. I'M LOOKING AT THESE ELEVATIONS.
THE SOUTH ELEVATION WOULD BE THE FRONT OF THE BUILDING ALONG WALTON PARKWAY, AND THE WEST ELEVATION WOULD BE THE ONE FACING THE MAIN PARKING LOT. THE DESIGN PROVIDES ENTRANCES ALONG WALTON PARKWAY THAT ARE EASY TO LOCATE ON THE BUILDING. MEETING SECTION EIGHT OF THE DGR REQUIREMENTS, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO USE WHITE BRICK, A STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF AND LOW SLOPE ROOF, AND PAINTED ORNAMENTAL STEEL COLUMNS, AND THE CITY ARCHITECT STATES THAT THE USE OF WHITE BRICK IS ARCHITECTURALLY APPROPRIATE IN RELATION TO WHAT EXISTS IN THE SURROUNDING AREA. SOME MORE ELEVATIONS. THESE ARE SHOWING THE NORTH OF THE BUILDING, WHICH WOULD BE ALONG THE CEDARBROOK NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE EAST OF THE BUILDING, FACING THE OTHER UNDEVELOPED LOT. THE APPLICANT STATES THAT EXTRA DESIGN CONSIDERATION WAS TAKEN ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING TO HAVE THE LOWER ROOF LINE ALONG CEDARBROOK NEIGHBORHOOD, TO HELP HAVE A MORE SEAMLESS TRANSITION FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL STYLE.
AND THAT'S THIS UP HERE. AND LOOKING AT SOME OF THE RENDERINGS, SECTION EIGHT OF DGGR STATES THAT SELECTION OF ARCHITECTURAL STYLES SHALL BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE CONTEXT, LOCATION AND FUNCTION OF THE BUILDING. AND THEN, JUST FOR SOME CONTEXT, THE EXISTING
[00:10:02]
BUILDINGS ON WALTON PARKWAY DO NOT FOLLOW A TRADITIONAL GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE, BUT MORE OF A HUMAN SCALE COMMERCIAL STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE. THE CHURCH CHURCH IS PROPOSED.ARCHITECTURE IS INTENDED TO BLEND IN WITH THE COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS AROUND IT, WHILE ALLOWING IT TO STAND OUT AS A RELIGIOUS USE, AS SEEN IN THE APPLICANT'S NARRATIVE AS WELL.
THERE IS AN EXISTING. THERE IS AN EXISTING MIX OF BUILDING MATERIALS ALONG WALTON PARKWAY, SUCH AS THE BOB EVANS SITE AND OUR OFFICE AT 7815 WALTON PARKWAY. BEING IN RED BRICK AND THEN THE FEAZEL ROOFING BUILDING IN 8323 WALTON PARKWAY. BEING WHITE WITH DARKER ACCENTS.
THE CHURCH IS IS USING A LOW, FLAT ROOF TO BE MORE IN LINE WITH THE SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL AREAS WHILE USING VERTICALLY PROPORTIONED WINDOWS, WHICH IS MEANING R, SECTION EIGHT. AND THE REVIES PROPOSED CHURCH AND STATES THAT THE DESIGN IS ARCHITECTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND OVERALL, THE PROPOSED CHURCH DESIGN EXHIBITS HIGH ARCHITECTURAL QUALITY AND HARMONIZES WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD'S EXISTING CHARACTER. ELEMENTS SUCH AS WHITE BRICK WINDOWS AND DISTINCTIVE ROOFLINE DRAW INSPIRATION FROM SURROUNDING COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES WHILE ESTABLISHING A UNIQUE IDENTITY FOR A PLACE OF WORSHIP. AND I, AS WELL AS THE APPLICANTS, ARE HERE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I HAVE ONE QUESTION. ARE WE TO REVIEW THE SCREENING OF THE PARKING LOT AS WELL AS THE PLANNING COMMISSION? YES. OKAY.
OKAY. YEAH. LET ME. IS THERE AN. GOOD EVENING EVERYBODY, AGAIN. ALSO THIS EVENING WITH CLAIRE CONDON, PASTOR OF INFINITE CHURCH. WE'VE HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH WITH MARK AND HIS TEAM FOR NOW, 4 TO 6 MONTHS TO C C C C C C C C C C C C C C E QUESTION WAS JUST ASKED, WE WILL BE ALSO IN FRONT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR FULL DEVELOPMENT PLAN APPROVAL. OUR GOAL THIS EVENING IS ARCHITECTURAL APPROPRIATENESS. WE DID PROVIDE A NARRATIVE AND A DESIGN BRIEF IN THE APPLICATION. I DON'T KNOW IF EVERYONE'S HAD A CHANCE TO REVIEW THAT. I'M HAPPY TO REVIEW IT WITH THE BOARD IF THERE'S QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY, I'D LIKE TO JUST HIGHLIGHT A COUPLE FEATURES OF THE DESIGN THAT WARRANT SOME CLARIFICATION, PARTICULARLY IN CONSIDERATION OF ANY OF THE PROJECTS THAT THIS BOARD SEES ARE OFTEN STEEPED IN TRADITIONAL GEORGIAN ARCHITECTURE. THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT AN INTENTIONALLY SO AS I MENTIONED, WE TOOK OUR CUES FROM THE SURROUNDING CONTEXT OF WALTON PARKWAY, BUT I WOULD STOP SHORT OF SAYING THAT THOSE EXISTING FORMS INSPIRED THIS DESIGN. I WOULD SAY THAT IT CERTAINLY GAVE LATIT WE APPROACHED THE DESIGN, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY A WAS AND IS A GOAL OF, OF OUR CLIENTS TO BE VERY MUCH FORWARD FOCUSED AND SEEKING A MODERN ESTHETIC FOR THE DESIGN. SO OUR JOB WAS TO SYNTHESIZE THAT WITH THE EXISTING SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT, BUT ALSO BE RESPECTFUL OF THINGS THAT MATTER TO THIS BOARD, SUCH AS SCALE, PROPORTION, SYMMETRY, BALANCE. AND THOSE ARE EVIDENT AS I THINK YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP RENDERING THAT ADDRESSES WALTON PARKWAY. THE OVERALL FEATURE OF THE SORT OF UNDERPINNING, IF YOU WILL, OF THE DESIGN, IS A AN ANCHORING MASONRY BASE, PAINTED WHITE BRICK WITH AN OVERALL ELEVATION THAT PROMOTES A LOT OF NATURAL LIGHT INTO ALL THE INTERIOR SPACES, PRIMARILY ACROSS THAT MAIN COMMONS AREA THAT YOU CAN SEE ON THE LOWER LEFT HAND PORTION OF THE BOTTOM RENDERING, THAT IS AN EAST WEST TRANSVERSE IN THE OVERALL DESIGN. ADDRESSING THE PARKING LOT TO THE WEST, AND THEN ALSO PROVIDING SECONDARY MEANS OF ENTRANCE AND EGRESS TO THE EAST. SO WE ABSOLUTELY CHOSE RESTRAINT IN THE MATERIAL SELECTION IN THE OVERALL DESIGN ESTHETIC, AND CHOSE TO ACCENTUATE AND ARTICULATE THAT THROUGH WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS SIMPLE BUT CERTAINLY PROVOCATIVE FORMS WITHOUT OVER ARTICULATING OR. ADDING UNNECESSARY ORNAMENTATION TO THE OVERALL DESIGN. UNLIKE SOME OF THE OTHER RELIGIOUS FACILITIES THAT THE BOARD SEEMED IMPRESSED APPLICATIONS. SO WITH THAT LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND, I'LL LEAN ON MY TEAM AS WELL AS MYSELF. IF THERE'S ANY QUESTIONS I CAN ANSWER, AND THEN I'LL QUIETLY SIT DOWN AND LET YOU GUYS GO FROM THERE. CAN WE BRING UP THE NORTH ELEVATION? SO WHEN I LOOK AT AT THIS PRETTY PICTURES, I MEAN THE EAST, WEST AND SOUTH ELEVATIONS. BUT IT SEEMS, YOU KNOW, THERE WAS NOT A COLOR PICTURE OF THE NORTH ELEVATION, PERHAPS INTENTIONALLY, BECAUSE
[00:15:02]
IT DOES SEEM TO BE. AGAIN, I LOVE THE ARCHITECTURE ON THE SOUTH, THE EAST, THE WEST. THIS SEEMS FAIRLY BORING. AND, AND, AND IN TERMS OF. SO THE QUESTION I GUESS I HAVE IS, CAN YOU DEFEND THESE CHOICES BACK HERE? BECAUSE AGAIN, IT LOOKS LIKE A BLANK, LARGE BLANK WALL WITH SOME FAUX WINDOWS. I ASSUME THIS IS GOING TO BE CORRECT BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO FAUX WINDOWS IN THE. I'D BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS THAT. IT'S A. IT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.BRINGING BACK. SO THERE WAS A VERY INTENTIONAL. I WOULD SAY THIS. IT WAS NOT INTENTIONALLY OMITTED FROM THE RENDERING PACKAGE, BUT THE ESTHETIC THAT YOU'RE REACTING TO WAS VERY INTENTIONAL. PRIMARY REASON BEING THAT THIS PARCEL ADDRESSES THE CEDARBROOK NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. AND I'M SURE FAMILIAR WITH THAT NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT IT IS A LONG STANDING RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WITHIN NEW ALBANY THAT VERY MUCH ENJOYS ITS RURAL CHARACTERISTICS. AND THERE'S A SENSITIVITY THERE THAT WE WANT IT TO BE RESPONSIVE TO, THE SENSITIVITY BEING THAT BY VIRTUE OF THE ZONING DISTRICT AND THE NATURE OF THE ARCHITECTURE, WE BE PERMITTED TO CONSTRUCT A 30 FOOT WALL ALONG THAT NORTHERN ELEVATION. WE INTENTIONALLY AFFECTED ELEVATIONS WITH. THANK YOU. WE INTENTIONALLY WANTED TO THANK YOU. WE. AND I THINK IT'S EVIDENT IN SALVATION. WE INTENTIONALLY BROUGHT THE SCALE DOWN ON THE NORTH ELEVATION OUT OF SENSITIVITY TO THE FACT THAT WITHIN ABOUT 140FT FROM THAT ELEVATION, OUR RESIDENTIAL HOMES OF 2 OR 3000 SQUARE FOOT SIZE THAT SEPARATED BY A SUBSTANTIAL EXISTING TREE BUFFER. BUT NONETHELESS, WE FELT IT IMPORTANT TO BE RESPECTFUL TO THE NEIGHBORS, TO THE NORTH, BOTH IN TERMS OF HEIGHT, BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF, FRANKLY, A QUIET SIDE OF THE BUILDING THAT DOESN'T CALL UNNECESSARY ATTENTION TO ITSELF AND RESPECTS THE RESIDENTIAL SCALE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE NORTH. SO FROM YOUR STANDPOINT, GIVEN THAT WE TALKED ABOUT FOUR SIDED ARCHITECTURE, YOU WOULD DEFEND THIS AS BEING FOUR SIDED ARCHITECTURE. I WOULD, BECAUSE I THINK WE STILL BRING SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES THAT ARE EVIDENT ON BOTH THE WEST, EAST AND SOUTH ELEVATION, THESE CLEAR STORY WINDOWS TO THE WEST AND THE CLEAR STORY WINDOWS YEAST. WE DID PROVIDE SOME ARTICULATION. THE BEST EXAMPLE I COULD USE TO CONVEY WHAT THE INTENT OF THAT IS TO THE BOARD IS NOT UNLIKE WHAT WE REVIEWED PROBABLY LONGER AGO THAN I CAN REMEMBER, WHICH WAS THE AMPHITHEATER PROJECT BY THE SCHOOLSOLS WHERE WE DISCUSSED IT AT LENGTH. THAT SORT OF ANALYZED FORM THAT ULTIMATELY SE VEGETATION ATTACHED TO IT. IT'S HARD TO SEE IN THIS RENDERING, BUT WE ACTUALLY DID ANALYZE THAT NORTH ELEVATION. I STILL INTRODUCE A LITTLE BIT OF BLAZON TO THE EAST AND THE WEST, BUT DEFINITELY DIMINISHED EVERYTHING INTENTIONALLY. THAT'S THE ONLY RESERVATION I HAVE. I DON'T THINK IT'S A SERIOUS ENOUGH RESERVATION THAT I'M THAT I WOULD SAY NO ON THIS. I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF ANYBODY ELSE ON THE BOARD SHARED CONCERNS. I LIKE THE ARCHITECTURE. OTHERWISE.
WONDERFUL. YEAH. MY MY THOUGHT WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, LANDSCAPING IS NOT PROVIDED, NOR ARE WE REVIEWING IT, BUT WHETHER THERE WAS ANY THOUGHT TO SOFTENING THIS SIDE, IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S ACTUALLY HAD IN PARKING ALONG THAT NORTH SIDE, WHETHER WE'RE LOOKING AT MAYBE INTENTIONALLY SOFTENING ON THIS SITE AS OPPOSED TO JUST BARRIER, IF I COULD ASK TO GO BACK TO THE SITE ONE MORE TIME. THANK YOU, MR. BROWN. TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, THERE'S AN EXISTING INTENTIONAL LANDSCA BUFFERFER THAT'S MOUNTED TO THE WEST. YOU CAN SEE IT INDICATED THE BOTTOM SOUTHERNMOST BORDER OF THAT, WHERE MY LASER POINTER IS THE NORTHERNMOST BORDER IS THE NORTHERN PROPERTY LINE RIGHT HERE. THAT SAME CONDITION CONTINUES ON OUR SUBJECT PROPERTY, AND IT IS A NO BUILD ZONE. SO NOT ONLY ARE WE RELYING ON THE EXISTING STANDARD TREES THAT ARE IMMEDIATELY IN THE REAR YARD OF THE NEIGHBORS, BUT WE'LL BE INTRODUCING AN EXTENSION OF THAT SAME BUFFERING THAT EXISTS BEHIND THE BOB EVANS OFFICES.
WE'RE REFERRING TO IT THAT WILL EXTEND CONTINUOUSLY ACROSS THE NORTHERN PROPERTY BOUNDARY. SO THAT'LL BE PART OF THE LANDSCAPING PACKAGE AS WELL. SOUNDS GREAT. IT'S A GREAT LOOKING BUILDING. THANK YOU. I DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS ABOUT THE REAR SIDE. I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I THINK IT'S WELL THOUGHT OUT AND WELL PLACED ON SITE. AND MY ONLY CONCERN WOULD BE THE PARKING. THE BUFFERING OF PARKING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S GOING TO TAKE CARE OF. I THINK THE BUILDINGS ARE VERY PRETTY AND APPROPRIATE. I
[00:20:04]
WOULD MOVE TO APPROVE A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR APPLICATION. ARB 59-2026.SECOND. MR. ITEM YES. MR. DAVY. YES. MISS. MOORE YES. MR. BROWN YES. MR. HENSON YES, THE AYES HAVE IT. THE MOTION PASSES WITH ALL VOTES TO APPROVE THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS.
THANK YOU EVERYONE. THANK YOU. OUR NEXT CASE IS ARB 61 2026, ATHLETIC CAMPUS CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS. THE APPLICANT IS NATHAN GAMBLE. I'M SORRY, SEAN ASSOCIATES. COULD WE HAVE STAFF REPORT, PLEASE? YES. ALL RIGHT. SO MUCH LIKE KYLIE'S THIS IS SECTION EIGHT OF THE DGRS REQUIRES CIVIC AND INSTITUTIONAL PROJECTS TO BE REVIEWED BY ARB. THIS SECTION SPECIFICALLY APPLIES TO PARKS AND RECREATION BUILDINGS ON THE ARB IS REVIEW IS FOCUSED ON THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. THE ARB IS NOT APPROVING ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS SUCH AS LANDSCAPING, PARKING AND SIGNAGE THAT WILL BE REVIEWED BY CITY STAFF DURING THE PERMITTING PHASE. SO THIS SITE IS 29 ACRES. IT IS THE FORMER DISCOVERY BUILDING SITE AND THE PROPOSED BUILDINGS BEFORE YOU WILL BE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THIS SITE. THIS PROJECT REPRESENTS PHASE ONE OF THE COLLABORATIVE SITE DEVELOPMENT EFFORT BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. PHASE TWO TO THE NORTH OF THE SITE HAS NOT BEEN FUNDED AND APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL. FUNDING AND DESIGN OPTIONS FOR PHASE TWO WILL BE DISCUSSED AT THE CITY'S CAPITAL RETREAT TOMORROW EVENING. ANY FUTURE BUILDINGS DEVELOPED ON THE SITE WOULD BE SUBJECT TO SECTION EIGHT OF THE DGRS AND BROUGHT TO ARB FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL.
HERE IS THE OVERALL SITE JUST SHOWING THE PROPOSED 12 BUILDINGS. WE HAVE THE CONCESSION STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD, THE DUGOUT. SOME OF THE DUGOUTS HAVE A PRESS BOX.
OTHER ONES ARE JUST DUGOUTS. HERE IS RESTROOM AND THE HITTING FACILITY AND A SMALL WATER METER BUILDING TO THE NORTH. THE ARB AND FORMALLY REVIEWED THE PROPOSED BUILDING BACK IN JULY AND PROVIDED THE APPLICANT FEEDBACK ON ALIGNMENT, ROOF DESIGN, LONG TERM MAINTENANCE, CONCERNS OF THE EXTERIOR STAIRS, RESTROOM QUANTITY AND DURABILITY OF METAL ROOFING. ALL PROPOSED BUILDINGS INCLUDE THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL MATERIALS, INCLUDING WHITE FIBER CEMENT BOARD AND BATTEN. A DARK GRAY WAINSCOT. AT THE INFORMAL REVIEW IN JULY, THE ARB MENTIONED THE DURABILITY OF METAL ROOFING. THE APPLICANT HAS SINCE REVISED FOR TO MAKE IT ASPHALT SHINGLE ROOFS. THESE BUILDINGS ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE EXISTING ATHLETIC FACILITIES ON THE SCHOOL CAMPUS AND COMPLEMENT THE ATHLETIC FIELD SETTING. THE CITY ARCHITECT REVIEWED THE PROPOSED DESIGNS FOR ALL OF THE BUILDINGS AND SUPPORTS THE DESIGN APPROACH, CHARACTERIZING BUILDINGS AS STRAIGHTFORWARD, SIMPLE FORMS THAT ARE UTILITARIAN IN NATURE, WHICH IS APPROPRIATE FOR THESE TYPES OF FACILITIES. THE ONLY SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION HE HAD WAS THAT THE APPLICANT PROVIDE MATERIAL SAMPLES SHOWING THE SELECTED BLOCK AND PROPOSED MORTAR, AND THIS HAS BEEN CONDITIONED IN THE STAFF REPORT. SECTION EIGHT RECOGNIZES THAT PUBLIC RECREATION STRUCTURES CAN BE VERNACULAR IN CHARACTER OR TAKE THE FORM OF TRADITIONAL BARNS, RATHER THAN REQUIRING THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL TREATMENT AS TRADITIONAL CIVIC OR INSTITUTIONAL BUILDING. THIS FLEXIBILITY RECOGNIZES THAT STRUCTURES SUCH AS CONCESSION STANDS AND DUGOUTS A FUNCTIONAL PURPOSE, AND THEIR DESIGN IS OFTEN DRIVEN BY SIGHTLINES, OPERATIONAL NEEDS AND ORIENTATION TOWARDS ATHLETIC FIELDS RATHER THAN PUBLIC STREET FRONTAGES. HERE IS THE ELEVATION FOR THE CONCESSION RESTROOM MECHANICAL ROOM, WHICH IS CEN CENTRALIZED BETWEEN THE FIELDS. THIS DESIGN IS FUNCTIONAL AND UTILITARIAN, REFLECTING ITS RECREATIONAL PURPOSE. HERE IS THE HOMETS. ALM ARE THE SAME ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. SO I JUST HAVE AN EXAMPLE IN HERE OF THE FIELD SIDE, THE PROMENADE SIDE, AND THE EAST AND WEST ELEVATION.
HERE IS THE HOME VISITOR DUGOUTS WITH THE PRESS BOX, AS MENTIONED IN THE INFORMAL REVIEW BACK IN JULY, THE APPLICANT HAS ENCLOSED THE STAIRCASE AND CENTERED THE PRESS BOX OVER THE DUGOUT. THE FACILITY FOLLOWS THE SAME ARCHITECTURE AS THE OTHER PROPOSED BUILDINGS AND IS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER RECREATIONAL AND SERVICE TYPE BUILDINGS IN THE CITY. LAST BUT NOT LEAST, IS THE SMALL WATER METER BUILDING THAT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE SITE. SO IN SUMMARY, THE APPLICANT, THE ARB, HEARD THIS BACK IN JULY. THE APPLICANT HAS DONE A REDESIGN OF THE BUILDINGS. THIS IS A COLLABORATIVE EFFORT BETWEEN THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF NEW ALBANY. THE PROPOSED BUILDINGS ARE LIKE THE EXISTING ATHLETIC FACILITIES ON THE SCHOOL CAMPUS. THE PROPOSED ARCHITECTURE IS APPROPRIATE GIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGIGI PROPOSED BUILDINGS. THESE FACILITIES ARE UTILITY
[00:25:03]
UTILITARIAN BY NATURE, WITH DESIGN DRIVEN BY SIGHTLINES AND FIELD ORIENTATION, AND THE ONLY CONDITION WE HAVE IS THAT THE APPLICANT WORK WITH CITY ARCHITECT ON FINAL BLOCK AND MORTAR SELECTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THE ORIGINAL REVIEW HAD AM I WRONG? THESE ARE STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF, CORRECT. AND YOU'RE JUST IT'S JUST COST SAVINGS. I'M SORRY.PLEASE INTRODUCE YOURSELF, NATHAN SHAW ARCHITECTS 230 BRADENTON AVENUE, DUBLIN, OHIO ASPHALT SHINGLES DOES REFLECT A COST SAVINGS. HOWEVER, WE DID THINK AS A GROUP, DISTRICT AND SORT OF CITY ADVISORS INCLUDED THAT IT HAD A HIGHER RESISTANCE TO PROJECTILES SUCH AS BASEBALL AND SUCH IN HEALTH IMPACTS. MUCH, MUCH GREATER WAY OF SAYING THAT, YES, THIS WAS DIFFY OR WIFFLEBALL. WE ALSO HAD METAL PANEL ON THE VERTICAL SURFACES. HOWEVER, THOSE HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO FIBER CEMENT. SO. AN OBJECT STRIKE ON AN ASPHALT SHINGLE WE THINK IS LESS IMPACTFUL THAN A DENT IN A METAL ROOF. YES. I CERTAINLY LIKE THE ARCHITECTURE. THEY'RE VERY I MEAN, CERTAINLY IF I'M A BASEBALL PLAYER, I'M EXCITED ABOUT THAT BATTING BUILDING.
AND I THINK THIS IS A STEP UP FROM EVERYTHING THAT THEY HAVE NOW OR HAVE NOW DISAPPEARED WITH WITH THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING. I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING OUR COMMENTS FROM THE PREVIOUS MEETING INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU FOR GOING BACK AND, AND THINKING THROUGH SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS THAT WE HAD AT THE AT THE LAST MEETING, PARTICULARLY WITH RESPECT TO THE THE SECOND STORY VISITOR DUGOUT PRESS BOX DESIGN, I KNOW IT'S AN IMPERFECT PROGRAMMATIC CHALLENGE, BUT I THINK THAT IS A FAR BETTER OVERALL SOLUTION THAN WHERE IT STARTED. SO I WANT TO JUST SAY THANK YOU FOR GIVING IT SOME EXTRA ATTENTION. I THINK THE BALANCE AND THE ENCLOSURE OF THE STAIR DOES MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE, AND I THINK IT ALSO REINFORCES THE OVERALL CONSISTENCY OF FORM AND MATERIAL ACROSS ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL STRUCTURES. AND I KNOW THERE ARE SEVERAL. SO I THINK THE IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT THE COMMENTS WERE WERE HEARD AND THOUGHTFULLY CONSIDERED, AND I APPRECIATE THAT VERY MUCH.
SO THANK YOU, THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. COMMENTS FROM THE. I THINK THEY LOOK GREAT. I APPRECIATE THE IMPROVEMENTS. THESE ARE REALLY NICE. PERSONALLY AM A BIG FAN OF STANDING YOU MAY REVISIT THAT. AND IF YOU WERE TO CHANGE IT BACK TO METAL, I'M SURE IT'D BE APPROVED BY STAFF. WELL AGAIN, THANK YOU. ONE MINOR COMMENT ON THE SITE PLAN I WAS JUST TRYING TO REFER TO WHICH BUILDING WAS WHICH, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THE STAIRS ARE STILL OFFSET ON THAT. IF YOU'RE ON THE SITE PLAN, THESE STAIRS ARE NOT SHOWN TO BE ENCLOSED, BUT THEY ARE BEING. THIS IS A PRETTY FAST MOVING JOB. WE ADJUSTED OUR MODELS AND WE ARE UPDATING THE SITE PLANS TO CATCH UP. I WON'T WON'T GIVE OUR CIVIL ENGINEER TOO MUCH TROUBLE, SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTOOD WHICH ONE WAS. VISITORS AND HOME VERSUS HAZARD STAIR DOESN'T HAVE A STAIR, SO YOU'RE GONNA HAVE ONE HOME. WE HAVE PRESS BOXES OVER. PRESS BOXES WILL APPEAR OVER THESE TWO AT THE TIME OF BEING BUILT, AS IS THE VARSITY FIELDS. THESE TWO DUGOUTS RIGHT HERE WILL HAVE FOUNDATIONS TO PREP FOR FUTURE PRESS B B B B B B B B B .
AND THEN, BECAUSE EVERYTHING, WE'RE PRIORITIZING THIS NORTH SOUTH AXIS, AND WE WANTED TO MAINTAIN AS MUCH VIEWING ANGLES THERE AS POSSIBLE, YOU KIND OF GET AN ALTERNATING WHERE YOU HAVE A HOME DUGOUT THAT WILL POTENTIALLY HAVE A PRESS BOX, AND THEN A VISITOR'S DUGOUT WILL POTENTIALLY HAVE A PRESS BOX, A HOME DUGOUT THAT WILL HAVE ONE, AND VISITOR'S DUGOUT THAT WILL HAVE ONE. SO YOU KIND OF GET THAT ALTERNATING, BUT THAT KEEPS EVERYTHING ALONG THE EAST WEST AXIS. OKAY, THAT ANSWERS THAT BECAUSE I AT FIRST I WAS LOOKING AT THE TWO BOTTOM FIELDS AS THE ONE THAT WERE BEING BUILT AND THE TYPEKIT. SO OBVIOUSLY NOW IT MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE. SO THANK YOU. YEAH. THE IDEAL ORIENTATION FOR THE VARSITY, WE PRIORITIZE THAT FOR THAT SITE. THAT MAKES SENSE. I, I AGREE WITH THE OTHER COMMENTS. IT REALLY IS A STEP UP FROM THE FIRST ITERATION. SO GOOD JOB. THANK YOU. BACK TO BEATING DOWN MY POINT. CAN YOU SHOW WHERE THE NETTING IS GOING TO BE? SO WE'VE GOT NETTING BEHIND THE AT HOME PLATE AT THE BACKSTOPS OF
[00:30:08]
EACH OF THESE 30 FOOT TALL NETTING ACROSS THERE, SO THAT NETTING EFFECTIVELY TERMINATES HERE. AND THEN YOU HAVE GOT OUR FACILITY BUILDINGS, AND THEN YOU'VE GOT SIX FOOT FENCING AROUND THE FIELDS. SO WHAT PART OF THESE AREAS THE ROOF LINES AREN'T NETTED. QUIT. EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT PARTS YOU WOULD YOU WOULD HAVE BUILDING EXPOSED RIGHT HERE. SO THE MATERIALS WERE CHOSEN FOR IMPACT RESISTANCE. WE'RE EVALUATING WHAT THAT GLASS MATERIAL THEN WOULD BE AS WELL. NOT THAT IT WOULD TECHNICALLY EVEN, YOU KNOW, BE A GLASS, BUT CERTAINLY SOMETHING THAT WOULD YELLOW LIKE A PARTLY POLYCARBONATE. AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE ROOF LINE THERE AS WELL. I WOULD JUST SAY THAT A STRIKE FROM A BASEBALL SOFTBALL IS GOING TO DO A LOT OF DAMAGE TO AN ASPHALT SHINGLE. WOULD YOU DISAGREE? YOU KNOW, IT'S A I GON IMPERFECT SOLUTION REALLY. EITHER WAY, I THINK PERHAPS ANOTHER WAY TO THINK ABOUT IT IS THE ASPHALT ROOF WILL PROBABLY CONCEAL INCIDENTAL IMPACT, RIGHT? ESTHETICALLY, MORE SO THAN A STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF WILL, WHICH IS ALREADY PRONE TO A PATINA, PATINA, PATINA. PLAYS, PLAYS, PLAYS. BEEN GOING ON HERE FOR YEARS. AND I I'M SPEAKING FROM A LITTLE BIT OF EXPERIENCE. YOU PROBABLY COULD MAKE THE METAL AND ASPHALT COST DIFFERENTIAL NARROW, PROBABLY AT THE EXPENSE OF THICKNESS, AND THEREFORE EXPOSING YOURSELF TO THE SAME ISSUE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO I, I, I SEE BOTH SIDES OF THIS ONE. I, I ESTHETICALLY PRHE THE STANDING SEAM TOO, BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND, GIVEN THE INVESTMENT, THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNREASONABLE CONSIDERATION. WHAT IS THE RATING ON THE SHINGLES? HAVE YOU GOTTEN THAT FAR IN THE SPEC? IS IT A 30 YEAR OR IS IT A 40 YEAR? WE TYPICALLY, I THINK, GO 30 YEARS ON SHINGLES, BUT WE CAN GO 40 OR 50, I THINK 50. CONSIDERING MR. HENSON'S COMMENT, IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO GO TO A 40 YEAR SIMPLY TO GAIN THE THICKNESS RATHER THAN. IT'S NOT SO MUCH THAT YOU'RE GETTING THE EXTRA TEN YEARS OF WARRANTY, BECAUSE I THINK WE ALL KNOW THE PRO RATA ROOF WARRANTY CONUNDRUM THAT THAT EXISTS, BUT WELL, THAT'S TRUE, BUT I DO THINK THAT THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE DURABILITY OF THE ROOF SYSTEM. UNDER CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU.I'D ALSO RECOMMEND TAKING A LOOK AT WATER FOUNTAINS IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE WATER FOUNTAINS AT BOTH RESTROOM BUILDINGS INCLUDE BOTTLE FILLED FILLERS AND LIKE BABY CHANGING STATIONS. AND INSIDE THE RESTROOMS. YEAH, DEFINITELY SIZED FOR THOSE. AND I THINK COMPOUNDS SHOULD BE IN THE RESTROOM BUILDINGS. IF THEY'RE NOT, THEY WILL BE. IF NOT, I'LL MAKE A PROPOSAL THAT THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS FOR RB 16 AND 2026 BE APPROVED.
I'M SORRY, WITH THE CONDITION CONDITION THAT THE APPLICANT WORK WITH THE CITY ARCHITECT ON FINAL BLOCK AND MOTOR SELECTION. AND IF THEY SHOULD COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT A STANDING SEAM METAL ROOF MIGHT BE DYNAMICALLY MORE APPEALING AS A BUILDING THIS PROJECT, I'D LIKE THEM TO REVIEW THAT WITH CITY ARCHITECTS, WHICH I'M SURE WOULD BE APPROVED. I'LL SECON SD THAT MOTION. MR. HENSON. YES. MR. ITEM. YES. MR. BROWN. YES. MISS. MOORE. YES. MR. MULLINS YES. MR. DAVID. YES. THE AYES HAVE IT WITH ALL VOTES TO APPROVE THE CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. STAFF. WE HAVE ANY OTHER BUSINESS FOR THIS BOARD. THAT'S ALL FROM US. WHAT'S WHAT'S ON WHAT'S ON THE ON THE PIPE COMING UP. WELL, THE DEADLINE WAS LAST FRIDAY. I DON'T THINK ANYTHING CAME IN.
DID ANYTHING COME IN? OH I LIED, WE HAVE A FEW SIGNS COMING IN. OKAY. ALL VILLAGE CENTER STUFF.
I THINK THERE'S THREE THINGS AS OF RIGHT NOW ON THE AGENDA. GOOD TO SEE EVERYBODY. LIKEWISE.
YOU KNOW, ANYTHING ON THAT? I WOULD MOVE TO ADJOURN. MR. ITEM. YES. MR. BROWN. YES. MR. HENSON.
YES. MISS. MOORE. YES. MR. MALLETS. YES. MR. DAVY. YES.
