spaces, including if there will be plantings, grills, etc. and what the space is going to be used for. • Planner raised concerns about the triangular corner apartments next to the amenity spaces not having adequate privacy or access to light, air, or space because of the placement of the windows next to the entrance of the amenity space. o Applicant indicated that privacy elements will be provided, such as curtains and planters, but that the price of these units will reflect these circumstances and that not everyone may be impacted by this layout. • Applicant confirmed that the building storage area is intended for use by the building and not for tenant use. 6. Façade/Exterior Design: • Units will have HVAC grills on the façade, but they will not be PTAC systems. The current elevations are not accurate, and the Architect indicated that the grills will be the same color as the façade and will not be placed under the windows. • There will be a fake green wall on the western façade (Vistafolio material.) Applicant will label the material on resubmitted plans. • Emphasis on providing good materials on the exterior façade was given. Applicant concurred with this intention and their desire to “activate” the area in a positive way with this property. • Historic Area Considerations o It was noted that this site is in close proximity to historic areas of the community. o Applicant indicated that they will provide the letter which confirms that the subject property is not within a historic area nor considered a historic landmark. o Zoning Board member provided information about the surrounding historic character of the site and noted the high number of units being proposed as a potential negative point. She noted that it was a good design, but it does not speak to the character of the St. Cloud neighborhood as a whole and that considerations should be made regarding that. 7. Stormwater: • The Applicant’s Engineer confirmed that previously brought up issues will be resolved.
