He presented 2 choices for the exterior block: grey with grey roof and white trim or red block with red trim. He explained concrete block does not have as great a range in color as brick - it has limitations. How big is the block? It is 8 x 16 . Ed suggested having a score on the 8" line so it looks like 8 x 8, not 8 x 16 . Mark presented an elevation of both choices. The Committee discussed/debated the choices. Janice asked what color they expect the wood trim to be? With red block, will be a white stain . With grey , a bleaching stain to make it grey . Janice and Merry Sue like the grey. Paul asked which will make the building appear to be smaller? Ed said on bright, sunny days - the grey. On winter grey cloudy days - the red will look better. Paul suggested the grey would blend more with the background of fields and woods where the red will seem to stick out. Ian asked if the block, especially grey, will get darker over time, from pollution? Ed said the block is more porus than brick. Greg Taylor asked how much of a cost savings there is with block? At least $300 , 000 . He asked why they were considering using any wood? Mark said it was looked at initially because it was cheaper. It is only on the upper part of the gym, it is decorative. It is on less than 20% of the building . Paul said 20% sounds like a lot . He would like to look at alternative products for the wood component. Bill asked what the roof will be, if using block? Ed said the roof is independent of this decision . The color will match. 3
