a. City Hall, Crabapple, Brian Parker
Site
Building
Comments:
Really looks good.
In order to increase energy efficiency, use Cupronickel (copper-
nickel) coated coils.
Does the design have a good way to make sure that it is leading us
into the entry way?
8) Courtesy reviews
a. Crabapple Townhomes, Arnold Mill and Green Road, Cowart Residential ,
Georgia Ericson
Site layout, and courtyard wall
Comments:
The idea of the wall is really good, but how would it be built?
Provide more information on how it would be built. The clearer you
can define the better for us.
140 is slated to be expanded. Is the expansion plans taken into
consideration?
Meet with City Architect to make sure that everything is lined up—
that the floor plans match the elevations.
On the first floor, without the buildings being elevated, this would be
a concern due to the traffic.
Put center unit door in the middle.
Having the door on the side gives the building a New England salt
box look.
Is there any way to push all the buildings back from the road?
Not opposed to the brick fence. This is a different area within our
community.
Maybe it’s a good idea to have real brick piers.
Let’s not kid ourselves, the brick wall will not provide a lot of safety
from a car.
Not a pedestrian friendly street.
Not a good idea to have the buildings jammed up against the
road.
Work with the City Architect as much as possible to come up with a
viable product.
