7� Design Review Committee -3- March 8, 2000 The Talanian Realty group has provided details on colors and types of material . The two current issues are selection of roofing materials and siding materials . The applicant' s concern is that the selection of materials and colors will make the overall project more standardized. They have submitted their "yellow report" and executive summary and detail plan to the committee . Architect David Chilinski presented detailed plans and drawings . The basic concept is to create four distinct building types : Type A Building, a Nineteenth Century-style mill. Located on South Street or Joy Street . Brick and masonry, cap of metal . Type B Building, in-fill retail building. Flat parapet, 16-18 ft. , with storefront, clapboard fagade, insulated membrane roof. Type C Building, arcade building. Gabled roof, with colonnade, clapboard siding, .asphalt shingle roof. Type D Building, freestanding building. Clapboard siding, asphalt shingle roof. There are serious committee concerns with the symmetrical, mirror image appearance of the main court portion of the project. This should be presented in model form. The color pattern on canopies is also a concern. There exists a grading issue with a building fronting on Route 28 . It is a significant grade that slopes up. The committee suggests this building design somehow be brought to the ground. This is considered a cornerstone area to this project . The notion of the Talanian Realty group is to use metal roofs and awnings on the Type A Buildings located on Joy Street . This would be a major design/material issue with the Cape Cod Commission and with the committee also. It is important that the applicant put together examples and photographs of awnings, and the issue of signage must be addressed. Mr. Chilinski suggested three major sign types, including window signage. Discussion ensued.
