BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The proposal has some good design elements but, there are
changes that should occur to further enhance the design and to bring it into compliance with the
design guides:

architecture goal and to help add some design features to the flat wall space on the
facades.

are completely screened by the hip roof itself or possibly consider relocating the rooftop
units to grade and screen them with some fencing and landscaping.

should include the following design features:
1. Add a hip or gable roof feature to complement the main building in style/design and
materials/colors.

above, as this can enhance the design of the canopy.
