2. A copy of a letter addressed to Architectural and Site Committee
from a Ms. No-:ra Bradlyn was distributed by Staff member Cowan.
Chairman Sargent indicated the communication shoul"- have been address-
ed to the Planning Commission rather than ASC as single family dwelling
applications do not come before this committee.
Member 'HcLaren said she had tried to contact *ir. Ditz to find out
why the trees had been removed but he was out of town. She would
have an answer when he returneri. She noted that the age of the
trees and the condition of the trees sometimes made their removal
necessary.
Chairman Sargent suggested a minute order to forward this communi-
cation to the Planning Comm-:-ission. IlAember Sallan so moved. Chair-
man Sargent asked for this in the form of a motion.

development if removal was necessary,.

MINUTES OF OCTOBER 25, 19712 H-CONTROL MEETING
In answer to Chairman Sargent's expressed opinion that a wood casing
in keeping with the rest of the building would be more attractive
than the metal, Mr. Hoffman said this had been discussed but his
architect recommended the copper.
Member McLaren expressed her concern about the size of the chimney,
feeling a 5' high chimney would need a broader scope to tie in with
the size of the building.
Member Koenitzer reiterated his preference for the clean lines of
the roof without a chimney.
Member Sallan said she was not happy with the 5' chimney or with a
woodburning fireplace. She did not feel the fireplace was essential
for the functioning of the business.
The applicant said the building was already plumbed for a gas burning
fireplace, but they would like to use a woodburning flue so that a
wood burning fire could be used once in a while.
Chairman Sargent said this was a Public Hearing and asked for comments
from the audience. There were none.
Member Koenitzer moved and limber Sallan seconded that Public Hearings
be closed.
:Motion carried, 4-0
Chairman Sargent said it would appear there are some rather strong
feelings against this particular application and for various given

site plan, existing and future sites, and present area being
proposed for expansion. There were slides showing elevations
of previously approved and present elevation as.proposed by the
application. Other slides showed the building theme and motif
which will be continued. One slide showed an area where there
is a.problem of storage of material outside the building but said
the applicant had said this was being worked on. He also noted
a condition of developmentin the West Valley Industrial Park
states that any off-street parking must be sufficiently screened
,
from view. Mr. Cowan said that the City Master Plan called for
Imperial Road to be continued to Bubb, but there was some question
as to if or when this might have to be a cul-de-sac.

MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 25, 1972 H-CONTROL MEETING
Mr. Burgin explained that at this time they had no plans to
extend Imperial Avenue. They had thought perhaps Measurex would
be dividing property with other business concerns, but due to
their success :-reasurex now planned to develop the entire site.
To extend Imperial Avenue would cut a line through the property
which would be most undesirable and would limit future develop-
ment.
Regarding the traffic circulation, Mr. Burgin noted they are
limited by various zoning ordinances and acts of City Council
in not being allowed an entrance or exit on McClellan Road or
Bubb Road. He indicated the entrance on Imperial Avenue would
be widened.
SITE:
lIember 1cLaren questioned it the parking ratio for 35,000 sq.
ft. had been considered and if the trash enclosure would
accemodate the new b-silding. .sir. 3urgin assured her the
present tras:. facilities would accomodate both buildings
and although it would necessitate rebuilding the trash enclo-
sure, this would be done and the gates put on.
Member Sa.'_lan auestioned what portion of the property would be
built on with this expansion. 'Mr. Burgin said approximately
13 acres are still to be developed.
Member l:cenitzer asked if there would be enough parking spaces
for the projectev number of employees. lvir,, Burgin said there
would be 110 parking spa., -es added at the back of t'_ze building
on the northerly and wes--erly sides, He said the only parking
riot screened entirely from the street would be the front spaces
to be used by visitors and service: vehicles.
ARCHITECTURE:
Mr. Burgin said the two buildings now on site were of a deep
striated concrete and the other e-:posed aggregate. They were
using the exposed aggregate panel on the proposed addition.
The windows would be enlarged fro: 42" to 54" decrpasing the
concrete expanse by 2`, give more l-ght internally and give the
building a lighter appearance fro:n the outside. The building
would be of same design ar,„' materials, but have a more pleasing
appearance.
Member licLaren asked about the re --wood fascia used to screen the
roof equ_pment. :ir. Burgin sa_d the mechanical screens would
have asbestos pane..l..s with redwoo^ stringer and fascia, almost
the same a.s *he present !.iiding. '1-1:e only difference would be
width and dep _:: of e'Taoed fascia varying slightly.

I•ir. Stanley 74o untford, Raleigh Bicycles representative, 19675

committee gives input at a level of something very much on every-

committee ,could be untLiinkable, ASC represents the interest of
