PROPOSAL/SUMMARY
The applicant is requesting site plan review approval for a 9,800 square foot swim school. As
part of the Planned Unit Develop (PUD) for Villages on the Ponds, this site was envisioned for
up to a 17,000 square foot office/retail building. The swim school fits under the office/personal
services use category approved within the development.
The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural standards
and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional" village character
consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest including the north-midwestem
architectural vocabulary, village like human scale and flavor, and variety in design and facade
treatment.
The PUD requires that the developer and future site users shall incorporate street/plaza furniture,
planting boxes, public art, bicycle racks, drinking fountains, etc. within the development and on
individual site plans. The area west of the western entrance is being developed as a mini-plaza.
The overall Villages on the Ponds hardscape plan designates two benches to be located along the
sidewalk adjacent to Lake Drive. Staff recommends that the pedestrian access from Lake Drive to
the Plaza area be relocated to the western end of the site west of the westerly bench site.
The trash enclosure has been hidden in the northeast comer of the building which will not be
visible from the Lake Drive frontage.
The building architecture embodies many of the elements specified in the development design
standards. The facade is composed of a grayish white (winter white) 8 inch by 16 inch concrete
masonry units rockface block over the main (natatorium) building facade. The lower building
projections will be constructed with a color of limestone similar to Kasota Stone exterior
insulating finishing system (E.I.F.S.). Additional elements include a white, standi~ng seam, gable
roof, a sunshine yellow entrance canopy and sunshine yellow colored window frames. A mini-
plaza is proposed at the building entrance. The trash enclosure is neatly tucked away in the
northeast comer of the building, screened from public view.
Staff is recommending approval of the site plan for Foss Swim School subject to the conditions
of the staff report.

GENERAL SITE PLAN/ARCHITECTURE
The proposed development must comply with the Villages on the Ponds Design Standards,
Sector II (see attached Exhibit) for the PUD. The purpose of this zone is to create a mixed use
PUD consisting of commercial, institutional, office, and residential uses. The use of the PUD
zone is to allow for more flexible design standards while creating a higher quality and more
sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to be placed underground. Each lot proposed for
development shall proceed through site plan review based on the development standards outlined
in the design standards. The design criteria cover all aspects of the development including
lighting consistency, signage requirements, uses, building materials, design and architectural
detailing, site coverage, and building square footages.
The applicant originally presented a very different building elevation for city review. The
previous plan included a shed roof that towered above the streetscape. While the high wall front
was articulated with windows and aluminum reveal lines, it was not of human scale. Building
materials were a white E.I.F.S. for the main building and dark blue and aquamarine E.I.F.S. for
the projecting block shaped portions of the building. A yellow canopy roof was proposed over
the windows along the street front with round upper story windows at the ends of the building.
The applicant's representatives met informally with the Planning Commission on May 5, 1999,
to review the proposed plan. The Planning Commission concurred with staff that the
development did not meet the design standards established for the Villages on the Ponds. On
May 24, the applicant and his representatives met with staff to determine if a design change
could be made that met both the applicants needs and budget, and the city's design criteria. It
was agreed that the use of rockface block material would help make the development more
compatible with the Villages. In addition, the architects agreed to incorporate a gabled roof to
help reduce the street elevation to a more human scale. Finally, it was discussed that the use of
the dark blue and aquamarine should be muted or a softer, more earth toned colored be used.
The architect incorporates an asortment of window shapes and sizes on the east and west
elevations in keeping with some of the whimsy from the original design. Staff also made
recommendations to the plaza area that would incorporate more street furniture.
The plan under review was submitted on May 26, 1999. Staff believes the design has come a
long way in meeting the intent of the Villages on the Ponds design standards.
LANDSCAPING
Minimum requirements for landscaping include 3,052 sq. ft. of landscaped area and 10 trees.
The applicant's proposed, as compared to the requirements for landscape area and trees, is shown
in the following table.

>3,052 sq. ft.
10 understory
The applicant does not meet minimum ordinance requirements for number of overstory trees.
However, submitted plans show 8 overstory trees and 5 understory trees being "planted by
others." These additional plantings will help satisfy ordinance requirements. The applicant shall
be responsible for the warranty of the trees if they are planted before the site is developed. If the
'other' trees are installed after the site is developed, the warranty will be covered by the Villages
developer. Staff recommends additional landscaping, such as planter boxes, near the entrance of
the building to soften the large expanse of concrete and make the entrance more inviting and
consistent with other buildings in the development.
In addition, the parking lot area located south of the development has two peninsular type
landscape areas. Trees must be installed in both of these areas as part of the use of the parking
lot. Either the site developer or the Villages on the Ponds developer may install these trees.
GRADING
The site has been rough graded with the initial development of Villages on the Ponds. A three-
tier retaining wall system has been constructed along the easterly property line of the site. The
plans propose to remove approximately 30 feet of the retaining wall for the building pad
preparation. The resulting slopes will be 3:1. The existing vegetation along Grandview Road
would be removed as a result of this grading. Staff believes that the use of retaining walls should
be incorporated to save the existing vegetation along Grandview Road. This vegetation provides
screening/buffering from the homes to the east.
DRAINAGE
The site plan appears to be in general conformance with the overall comprehensive drainage plan
that was prepared and constructed in accordance with the Villages on the Ponds project. No
additional storm sewer improvements will be necessary with this project. The property will need
to be final platted at which time the City's Surface Water Management Fees will be due.
Downstream regional stormwater ponds have been installed with the Villages on the Ponds
project. The applicant may be entitled to some credits for the existing ponding facility. Staff
will determine the SWMP fees at time of final platting of the property.

UTILITIES
Municipal sewer and water is available to the site. Utilities were installed in Lake Drive as a part
of the Villages on the Ponds project.
EROSION CONTROL
Type I silt fence needs to be incorporated into the grading plan along Lake Drive.
STREETS
The site will be accessed via Lake Drive. Another access point for trash collection is proposed
from Grandview Road. The parking lot will be a shared facility with the adjacent Properties.
The majority of the necessary parking lot improvements have been completed with the exception
of the final lift of asphalt, curbing adjacent to the building, parking lot striping, parking lot
landscaping, and parking lot lighting.
LIGHTING/SIGNAGE
The applicant is not proposing any lighting with the project. The PUD requires that decorative,
pedestrian scale lighting be provided along all sidewalks if any lighting is installed. The lighting.
fixtures shall be designed to provide a 90 degree lighting cut-off. There are existing decorative
lights along Lake Drive and one light in the southern parking area.
Wall business signs shall comply with the city's sign ordinance for the central business district
for determination of maximum sign area. Wall signs may be permitted on the "street" front and
primary parking lot front of each building. All signs require a separate sign permit. The location
of letters and logos shall be restricted to the approved building sign bands, the tops of which shall
not extend greater than 20 feet above the ground. The letters and logos shall be restricted to a
maximum of 30 inches in height. All individual letters and logos comprising each sign shall be
constructed of wood, metal, or translucent facing.
PARKS AND RECREATION
The applicant should be aware that, pursuant to city ordinance, at the time of building permit
application, two-thirds of the park and trail fees will be due. The other one-third of park and trail
fees are due at the time of final platting for the lot.

MISCELLANEOUS
There is not enough information given on the plans to determine the allowable building area
based on type of construction, however, staff does not anticipate any problems with the proposed
size. Staff recommends that the building owner and designer meet with the Inspections Division
as early as possible to discuss the plan review and permit procedures.
The plat for Villages on the Ponds 5th Addition must be recorded before a building permit can be
issued. In conjunction with final platting, the Development Contract/PUD Agreement for
Villages on the Ponds will also need to be amended to include this phase. Final plat documents
need to be submitted to the city a minimum of three weeks prior to the City Council meeting.
SITE PLAN FINDINGS
In evaluating a site plan and building plan, the city shall consider the development's compliance
with the following:
(1)
Consistency with the elements and objectives of the city's development guides,
including the comprehensive plan, official road mapping, and other plans that may
be adopted;
(2) Consistency with this division;
(3)
Preservation of the site in its natural state to the extent practicable by minimizing
tree and soil removal and designing grade changes to be in keeping with the
general appearance of the neighboring developed or developing or developing
areas;
(4)
Creation of a harmonious relationship of building and open space with natural site
features and with existing and future buildings having a visual relationship to the
development;
(5)
Creation of functional and harmonious design for structures and site features, with
special attention to the following:
ao
An internal sense of order for the buildings and use on the site and
provision of a desirable environment for occupants, visitors and general
community;
b. The amount and location of open space and landscaping;
Foss Swim School
June 2, 1999
Page 8
Co
Materials, textures, colors and details of construction as an expression of
the design concept and the compatibility of the same with adjacent and
neighboring structures and uses; and
do
Vehicular and pedestrian circulation, including walkways, interior drives
and parking in terms of location and number of access points to the public
streets, width of interior drives and access points, general interior
circulation, separation of pedestrian and vehicular traffic and arrangement
and amount of parking.
(6)
Protection of adjacent and neighboring properties through reasonable provision
for surface water drainage, sound and sight buffers, preservation of views, light
and air and those aspects of design not adequately covered by other regulations
which may have substantial effects on neighboring land uses.
Finding: The proposed site plan is consistent with all plans and specifications and
development design standards for the Village on the Ponds Planned Unit Development.
Staff believes the use of the property for a swim school is complementary and
supplementary to the other uses that will be built within the Villages on the Ponds.
PLANNING COMMISSION UPDATE
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 2, 1999, to review the proposed site
plan. The Plamfing Commission voted five for and two against a motion recommending
approval of site plan #99-8 subject to the conditions of the staff report with the addition of
condition number 19. "The applicant shall consider providing additional pedestrian access from
Lake Drive to the building in the area of the swimming pool."
The two dissenting votes felt that while the building was getting better, the design was not quite
right. In addition, they felt that the colors were not right. Specifically, they felt that the applicant
should respond to the comments and recommendations contained in the architectural review
prepared by Mika Milo. They suggested that the colors needed to be "toned down."
Additionally, one of the Planning Commissioners provided a re-colOring of the roof and windows
using a teal color in place of the white roof and yellow window frames. This commissioner,
while voting for approval, concurred with the dissenting commissioners that the colors were not
quite right.

VILLAGES ON THE PONDS
CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA
DEVELOPMENT DESIGN STANDARDS
a. Intent
The purpose of this zone is to create a mixed use PUD consisting of commercial, institutional,
office, and residential uses. The use of the PUD zone is to allow for more flexible design
standards while creating a higher quality and more sensitive proposal. All utilities are required to
be placed underground. Each lot proposed for development shall proceed through site plan
review based on the development standards outlined below.
b. Permitted Uses

percent/
5. More than one (1) principal structure may be placed on one (1) platted lot.
The maximum building height shall be Sector I - three stories (with residential loft)/50 ft.
(retail and office buildings without residences above shall be limited to two stories/30
feet), Sector II - three stories/40 ft., Sector III - three stories/40 ft., exclusive of steeples
and bell towers, and Sector IV - four stories/50 feet
o
The maximum building footprint for any one building shall be limited to 20,000 square
feet without a street level break in the continuity of the building, e.g., pedestrian
passageways, except for the church and residential only buildings.
5. The following table shall govern the amount of building area for the different uses:
Commercial/ Office/Service Institutional Dwelling

32,000 square foot office building is deleted in Sector IV and replaced with 56 additional
dwelling units.
* Includes 47,200 square foot, 106 unit motel.
Building square footages may be reallocated between sectors subject to approval by the
Planning Director. Building square footages may be reallocated between uses subject to
approval of the Planning Director. However, the reallocation of building square footages
between uses shall only be permitted to a less intensive use, i.e. from commercial to office or
institutional, or from office to institutional. In no instance shall more than 27,000 square
feet of addition institutional building square footage be reallocated without an amendment
to the PUD.
e. Building Materials and Design
(Staffwill be working with the developer to provide pictures to further articulate the design
standards and definitions.)
o
o
o
o
The PUD requires that the development demonstrate a higher quality of architectural
standards and site design. The intent is to create a pedestrian friendly, "traditional"
village character consistent with the European heritage of the upper midwest and the
atmosphere within this development, yet with the amenities and technological tools of
modem times. The village elevations shown on the PUD drawings are to be used only as
a general guideline and the reflection of the overall village image including the north-
midwestern architectural vocabulary, village like human scale and flavor, and variety in
design and facade treatment.
All materials shall be of high quality and durable. Major exterior surfaces of all walls shall
be face brick, stone, glass, s~tucco, architecturally treated concrete, cast in place Panels,
decorative block, cedar siding, vinyl siding in residential with support materials, or
approved equivalent as determined by the city. Color shall be introduced through colored
block or panels and not painted block or brick. Bright, long, continuous bands are
prohibited. Bright or brilliant colors and sharply contrasting colors may be used only for
accent purposes and shall not exceed 10 percent of a wall area.
Block shall have a weathered face or be polished, timed, or broken face. Exposed cement
("cinder") blocks shall be prohibited.
Metal siding, gray concrete, curtain walls and similar materials will not be approved except
as support material to one of the above materials, or as trim or as HVAC screen, and may
not exceed more than 25 percent ora wall area.
All accessory structures shall be designed to be compatible with the primary structure.
All roof mounted equipment shall be screened by walls of compatible appearing material.
Wood screen fences are prohibited. All exterior process machinery, tanks, etc., are to be
fully screened by compatible materials. All mechanical equipment shall be screened with
material compatible to the building.
The buildings shall have varied and interesting detailing. The use of large unadorned,
concrete panels and concrete block, or a solid wall unrelieved by architectural detailing,
such as change in materials, change in color, fenestrations, or other significant visual
relief provided in a manner or at intervals in keeping with the size, mass, and scale of the
wall and its views from public ways shall be prohibited. Acceptable materials will
incorporate textured surfaces, exposed aggregate and/or other patterning. All walls shall
be given added architectural interest through building design or appropriate landscaping.
Space for recycling shall be provided in the interior of all principal or accessory
structures.
There shall not be underdeveloped backsides of buildings. All elevations shall receive
nearly equal treatment and visual qualities.
10.
The materials and colors used for each building shall be selected in context with the
adjacent building and provide for a harmonious integration with them. Extreme
variations between buildings on the same street in terms of overall appearance, bulk and
height, setbacks and colors shall be prohibited.
11.
Slope roof elements shall be incorporated in all structures: Sector I - minimum 70
percent of roof area shall be sloped, Sector II - minimum of 70 percent of the roof area
shall be sloped, Sector III - minimum of 30 percent of the roof area shall be sloped, and
Sector IV - minimum of 70 percent of the roof area shall be sloped. An exception to this
requirement are roof areas designed for human use such as decks, garden areas, patios,
etc., which will not be counted towards flat roof area.

13.
Street level windows shall be provided for a minimum of 50 percent of the ground level
wall area.
f. Site Landscaping and Screening
All buffer landscaping, including boulevard landscaping, included in Phase I shall be
installed when the grading of the phase is completed. This may well result in landscaping
being required ahead of individual site plan approvals, but we believe the buffer yard and
boulevard plantings, in particular, need to be established immediately. In addition, to
adhere to the higher quality of development as spelled out in the PUD zone, all loading
areas shall be screened. Each lot for development shall submit a separate landscaping
plan as a part of the site plan review process.

Proposed Foss Swim School
Re: Site Plan Review Approval Processing
CITY OF CHANHASSEN
JUN 0 g 1999
.Design Materials Reviewed:
Architectural, schematic plans, set chted 5/25/99
Based on the above submittals and on behalf of the Architectural Review Commit'ccc, ][
am issuing the following comments:
The Use:
Conforms to thc approved P.U.D. Actually, it's in excellent use, very complementary not
only to the Village concept, but to thc adjacem church's educational complex.
2. Site Plan~ine:
Development Size and Density:
Conforms to the approved P.U.D.
2.2
Overall Site Design:
Conforms to the site design direction established by thc P.U.D. for this area.
However, it is a "tight fit." Mainly, the slrktly rectangular building footprints
appear somewhat rigid in relationship to the available site configuration. Tb/s is
especially evident at the South end of the building where the parking lot is almost
touching the building walls. Is it possible to reconfigure, or at least slightly move
the building to the NE, in order to create more '~reathing room", a more
comfortable pedestrian circulation area between the parking lot and thc. building?
Or would it be possible to transform the therapy rooms from a 20' x 84'
rectangular tract into a triangular shape, for a better fit into the triangular site
configuration at the SE comer?
2.3 AccessibiLi~:
Conforms to P.U.D. intent. We welcome the proposed approach to the main
entry. Namely, the entry is not only oriented to the parking at the South, but is
also well connected to the street sidewalk at the North. The access tn the
dumpster enclosure is well planned. It is hidden from street view, tucked bekind
the building and against the slope.

3. BuR~mz Design
3.1 Size. H_ei~t and Bulk:
Conforms to P.U.D. and is acceptable. The architect has done a very good job in
breaking the building mass hato smaller pieces, yet providing a fu~ "connector"
with a dominate gable roof s~-ucture ovex the main ~u~ctional a~'eas.
3.2 Design
Character a~.6 Flavor:.
The overall building design has a timeless, contemporary-traditional character,
reflecting familiar and pleasant architectural vocabulary. Building forms,
architectural articulations and openings treatment, combined with selected
materials, will provide for an excellent blend with the Village architectt~c. Thc
created environment, witl~ its' human scale and playful forms, will also be very
suitable for the kids. It will be a fun place to come and spend time on healthy
activ/ties.
3:3 Material~ and Colo~:
The proposed materials: a balanced combination of F. IFS wall cubes, integral
colored rockface block, pronounced standing seam metal roof, and the green
tinted glass windows, are all we11 within the ?.U.D. design guidelines. I-Iowever, ·
we feel that the proposed colors need an adjustment. The OCHER yellow (EIF$
- color #1) on tho walls is a little too s~rong and bright for the Village, yet is
acceptable, considering the need to have a more colorful building for the young
community. The same applies to the plain white gable roof, which we would
also prefer to see in a darker, blend/rig type of color, rather than attention
catc~ng white (It would blend well with the snow, however!). While all of the
above appears to be acceptable, th~s ~s not the ease with the bright "sunshine
yellow" for the window/door frames and entry fascias. It is just too much
yellow, especially that the walls are also a yellow tone. I-Iow about a darker
color that will blend with the window tint? Or, perhaps, another contrasting
color to the yellow walls? What about just a pla/n, natural aluminum color? Or
how about brouze alum~r/um? In any case, we would like you to try another
color for these metals, and submit tn us for approval.
3.4 ~:
Acceptable as proposed in terms of size and locations on the building, subject to
further detailed review in relationship to the City's sign ordinance. We welcome
the decision to externally illuminate all signage. This is a great contribution to
the Village connector.
4. Summary/Recommendation:
Aside from the above suggestions made to the design team and the developer of the
subject property, and any further detailed compliance reviews conducted by the City, we
recommend the approval for the submitted design. Th/s development wiIl be an excellent
addition to the uses and architecture within thc Village.

Bob Generous presented the staff report on this item.
Peterson: Any questions of staff?.
Blackowiak: Mr. Chairman I've got a couple questions. Both have to do with building size.
Building size and lot size. First I see that the lot size is listed at 2.4 acres. I'm wondering where
you're finding those. And then my second question has to do with the sheet that I have, this old
sheet from Villages and it lists all the different lot numbers. And I've kind of kept it. And
according to this, this is Lot 15 or Building 15. It's listed as a one story, 8,825 square foot
building. And I'm wondering if that is the high end. Is the building too large for that piece.
Generous: The 2.4 is actually a mistake. They were showing all of Outlot G. So it's gotten
smaller. They're revising that plat and that will be going to Council June 14th. Exceeding that
number. Within the Villages we're trading off all over. We have a cap that we cannot exceed
and so we're still under that.
Blackowiak: Okay, so then what is the impervious coverage with the new acreage? So if it's not
2.4, how big is it? What percentage are we at with?
Generous: I don't have that number but this site was all, almost completely impervious as a part
of the Villages concept.
Blackowiak: So you don't care is what you're telling me?
Aanenson: What we're doing is keeping a running balance. We're keeping a running balance.
Generous: Actually they could pave the entire upper part of the development and still meet the
30%.
Aanenson: We've got it in the lower half.
Blackowiak: Okay.
Generous: But we are getting within each site we do get a lot of green areas and we keep
building on that. We get the landscape elements throughout the project. We get the pedestrian
connection. The public realm spaces that are so important to us and...Livable Communities Act.
I don't have the exact square footage of the site. That's something I requested of the developer.
Aanenson: Just for clarification. Final plat, this thing is all under a preliminary plat. You've
approved a preliminary plat. Final plat at this point just goes to City Council. So what they
would do is plat what they needed for this project to go forward so you understand that. At this
point the final plat will just go for a reading at the... So it's been preliminary platted, which
you've approved. The underlying lot...
Blackowiak: I look at the size and I just went no way.
Aanenson: Sure, that's...
Peterson: Other questions of staff?.
Kind: Question Mr. Chairman. Could staff address where on this plan the pedestrian access
points are from the sidewalk. It wasn't really clear to me. I'll point it out here ifI can. What are
these things?
Generous: Benches.
Kind: They're benches. So they're not access points.
Generous: No, the access points...
Kind: Okay.
Peterson: Other questions or comments? Would the applicant or their designee wish to address
the commission? If so, please come forward and state your name and address please.
Tim Mcllwain: Tim Mcllwain, I'm an architect with Hagen, Christensen & Mcllwain Architects.
We prepared the structural design. We've reviewed the comments made by staff and I don't
believe we need any more comments. I've just actually just seen the review from...the first
time...there was a question about the yellow color and I think that's something we can work with
them on. Although I think we'd still like to keep a fairly strong color on there. The existing
facility has a very strong yellow along the side that we'd like to bring out and I think in the
overall volume and exterior of the building it's small... We were within the design criteria of an
accent color on the building, but we are willing to discuss it...
Sidney: How about the white roof?. Would you be.
Tim Mcllwain: Well the white roofI think we feel pretty strong about. The texture of the
colored white concrete. You can see there's the bone white. You know...attitude. It's clean.
It's refreshing. It's just crisp. To be frank with you, the owner doesn't have a lot of money to
put into...materials. It's a simple building that supports basically one activity. We want to
represent that in the architecture of the classic, crisp geometry. And by doing the overall volume
in one color, it has a certain clarity to it. If you start to break, even with the big...start to break
down the colors, I think you'd start believing it's something else. A simple geometric...best way
to play it. And we're trying to open the pool to the street because it is a, the existing facility is
fun to watch the kids. It's a place for kids. That's what it's about. It's teaching the kids and
we've opened it up as much as we can to the street and we've played with some of the window
forms to create the animated fun that you'll see at night with the glowing out through. And...and
we think the white is just a simple, clean... We're also going to put a mechanical mezzanine
inside the building so to minimize any protrusions to this clean shape which really...
Peterson: A couple questions for you as it relates to the windows on the upper roof line.
Obviously they're designed to be fun. Creative. Good questions. I guess in my mind...
statement. My first sense is they just don't seem to fit the character of what we're trying to do in
Villages. That's a statement. The question I've got is, are those windows, are they overlooking
the pool? What I'm trying to think of is in the wintertime and the temperatures, do you normally
have windows at that height because the heat's going to go up there and they're going to be
sweating like wild with the high humidity of the pool. I don't know whether that's been thought
through or not.
Tim Mcllwain: To answer your question. Number one, yes. The west end, on the one end yes, it
does overlook the pool. On the other end it overlooks the retail lobby. There's a lobby there. So
there we don't, because that is separated internally from the pool. The other side that has been a
very strong concern. Very first facility is air quality. It all gets down to quality of water in the
pool and the quality of the...and the air, complete air is turned over in the pool space, I think is it
once or twice per hour. It's an unbelievable amount. It's actually exceeds several times the
industry standards so that is the process by which the humidity is extracted out of the air and the
odors are extracted out and it's dumping a lot of fresh air...so there shouldn't be a problem with
condensation. And in the overall scheme of things it is a fairly small surface area that they're
showing. The biggest problem with pools is putting clear glass skylights into the vaulting and...
Peterson: Other questions of the applicant?
Kind: I'm wondering if the applicant would consider opening up some pedestrian access to those
windows along Lake Drive that overlook the pool. It'd be cool to look in there and see what's
going on. Right now there's no easy way to get through.
Tim Mcllwain: Be able to communicate through physically?
Kind: Not communicate but just to see.
Tim Mcllwain: Yes. This elevation from here...
Kind: I'm not sure I asked the question very well or not. I'm wondering if you can improve the
access from the sidewalk to there because right now the landscaping doesn't allow for anybody
from the sidewalk to enter into that area.
Tim Mcllwain: Frankly we haven't considered it but it's a good point. So people can actually
walk in and view. I mean I think it's what a pool is about. I mean I'll have to ask the owner if
3
they'll have an issue with that, but I think it's all part of having the community... I think it could
be a nice idea.
Kind: Yeah.
Tim Mcllwain: Frankly we never considered it and now we can.
Kind: I have one other question regarding the roof color .... the white seems pretty bright and
I've done a little coloring that I'd like to submit. I don't know how you go about doing it,
showing an aqua, bluish color of the roof and I'm just wondering if you would consider it. I
don't know how I go about doing that.
Peterson: Other questions and comments while it's going around? Thank you. May I have a
motion and a second for a public hearing please.
Kind moved, Sidney seconded to open the public hearing. The public hearing was opened.
Peterson: This is a public hearing. Anyone wishing to address the Planning Commission, please
come forward and state your name and address please. Motion to close?
Conrad moved, Blackowiak seconded to close the public hearing. The public hearing was
closed.
Peterson: Commissioners. Comments. Thoughts. Feelings.
Burton: I guess I have a comment. While I can understand the concerns about the colors and
maybe even the...Milo's comments about the coloring. You know he also points out that, I'll
just read what he wrote. The creative environment with it's human scale and playful form will
also be very suitable for kids. It will be a fun place to come and spend time on healthy activities.
and I think if you take that into consideration, I think that the colors make sense. It's a kid
attractive place and I think it's something unique and I think that while it is a little bright, it is
something that, being unique, it's something that will be fun to have in Villages and I think it's a
neat addition.
Joyce: I think as we get into this, as we've gotten into it, you know we don't want to be too
conservative either. I don't see anything distasteful about this at all. I mean it's just colorful.
And I guess I don't have a problem with it. I didn't see the first, I wasn't here for the first one so
I'm just taking this from what I see here and it's definitely functional and I think it will add a
little pizzazz to it so I'm kind of in favor of it. I really am. I don't see a problem with it.
Blackowiak: I guess I'll have to add, I do kind of like your blue here. Looking at the original
color drawings, I was happy to get color drawings but not as happy with the colors. The yellow's
pretty yellow. I do like the blue a lot better. The blue seems just a little bit more palatable.
Talking about PUD's and higher standards and we have to make sure that we get what we want
in here. We just have to you know, take our time. I certainly like the idea. I like the swim
4
school. I would really like the school to consider the color and see if you can't tone it down a
little bit. That's a phrase that we use. Tone it down and I think that that is good advice.
Peterson: Comments? I feel the same way. The last meeting we saw a design that just didn't
work. I think this architecturally works. As I stated earlier, I think the windows are a little, I can
live with the windows if it wasn't for the abrupt whiteness of the roof and the side and the
abruptness of the yellow. Pull out those windows being more distinctive. Alison stated that in
the PUD we have higher standards. I think we can have higher standards but I think part of what
we're trying to get is similar standards. Although allowing this sort of creativity but within some
operating parameters I don't think we've met here. So I'm still not comfortable that the colors
are right and wouldn't approve it based upon the colors that are presented this evening.
Architecturally I'd move ahead. Colors I wouldn't. I'd entertain a motion.
Joyce: Well I'll make a motion. I make the motion the Planning Commission recommends
approval of the proposed site plan #99-8 for Foss Swim School, architectural plans prepared by
Hagen, Christensen & Mcllwain dated 5/25/99, and site plan prepared by John Oliver &
Associates, Inc. dated 4/15/99 subject to conditions 1 through 18.
Burton: Second.
Peterson: It's been moved and seconded. Any discussions?
Kind: I have a couple of friendly amendment ideas. 19. Applicant shall consider improving
pedestrian access from sidewalk to plaza area along Lake Drive. And/or 20. Applicant shall
explore option of a teal colored roof or other color.
Peterson:...
Kind: You can add that to that too. To lower, having the window trim match the roof color or
tone it down a bit. Is that an amendment?
Joyce: Well I'd agree with 19 and I would agree with exploring. I guess I wouldn't, then you'll
have to make another motion then. I'll make 19. I think it's a very good point and that should be
on there but definitely...20, going back to whether we want to approve it or not so that's not my
motion. So my motion stands with 19 and not 20.
Peterson: It's been moved and seconded. Any further discussion?
Kind: If I vote for this motion with the white roof, it will go on to council with...
Joyce moved, Burton seconded that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
