C. Reliant Corporate Office, Heritage Walk & Mayfield Road
Building and Site Review
Applicant: Steven Rowe/AEC, Inc.
Comments for site:
• Recommends showing finishes of retaining wall with landscaping to soften
• Confirm the parking requirements. No exposed concrete.
• Add faux windows or frames some fenestrations (openings) as part of the
building to make the plain wall interesting (suggested by Bob and accepted
by the Board).
• Good job done on the small site to fit the building
• Rethink the curb-cut near the roundabout
Comments for building:
• Building feels massive although it is two story. Needs to scale the proportions
to the local settings.
• Architecture looks federal or institutional, not ideal for this portion of the
Crabapple which is gateway to the city.
• Use of the third floor to be confirmed and to be included in parking
calculation.
• Rethink the building material, brick is preferred over limestone.
• Want to see what it will look like in context with adjacent buildings.
• Want to see what it will look like with different material and color tone.
• Want to see not so institutional / bank / City Hall. Merchant building with glass
or Antebellum style architecture is preferred.
• Want to see more round columns than square
• Want to see materials labeled and samples next time.
• Bob to work with Tracy to capture all comments and bring back revised
building.
• Bob suggested reducing the height of porches and redesign the façade.
