Request for Revisions to Building Elevations for Jackson Street Corners — Steve Neveleff— 1801 & 1807 US Highway #1. Ms. Bosworth stated that after Mr. Nevelef's presentation staff will comment. Mr. Neveleff explained that the revision being requested is three part: Reduce the overall building roof height by two feet; Change the shutter material from aluminum to vinyl; Reduce the width of the overhang by three feet. He explained that because of a change in the tenants the plans had to be revised significantly. In an effort to get all the approvals in place, the plans were not reviewed thoroughly before submission to the City. After having reviewed the plans with the contractor it was determined that constructing the buildings as originally approved would be more expensive than following the revised plans being presented this evening. He stated that he does not believe that the changes will greatly impact the aesthetics of the project. He distributed photos of other buildings in the City for comparison of eave widths. He explained that the reduction of building height will reduce the cost of HVAC and the vinyl shutters will be just as attractive at a lower cost, these changes will reduce the cost of the project by approximately $100,000. Mr. Neveleff responded to Mr. Hughan and Mr. Carter's questions concerning roof pitch/height by stating that the pitch will remain the same and the height will be sufficient to screen the HVAC equipment on the roof. Mr. Carter suggested the inclusion of some nautical accents at the front of the building in keeping with the City's nautical theme. Mr. Neveleff stated that he would have the architect prepare drawings with the nautical accents for review by the City. Mr. Reyes explained that the point Mr. Carter made is to maintain the nautical theme. He stated that he likes the appearance of the buildings with the higher roofs and feels that the shutters should be consistent throughout the site. Mr. McManus stated that in his opinion reducing the roof height will have a negative impact on the appearance of the building; he is not opposed to the change in material of the shutters. Ms. Kautenburg stated that she understands keeping the cost down, but the result of lowering the roof has a very negative impact on the overall appearance of the building. Ms. Bosworth showed the Commission a plan on the computer that showed the comparison of what was approved and what is being requested. She noted that there is a significant change to the appearance of the structures. She explained that the City has made an effort to make the appearance of buildings in the Overlay Districts special by requiring additional decorative accents. She noted that the plans originally approved accomplished that with the higher roofs, shutters and wider overhangs. She stated that because the change being requested impacts the aesthetics of the site, she wanted the Commission to have the opportunity to review the request and the decision not be made by staff. PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PAGE 3 MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 16, 2017 Mr. McManus suggested voting on the request as three separate requests. Mr. Neveleff stated that the roof height and the eave width are connected and if the Commission does not approve that change, he will proceed with the plans as originally approved; the shutter material is a separate matter. Ms. Kautenburg called for any further questions or comments. Hearing none she called for a motion.
