The amount of parking spaces equal the required number, but the size is 9x20 rather than 10x20 as required. The petitioner, Mr. Bruce Maus, presented the sample aggregate concrete wall panel explaining its benefits to the Commission and stating this creates equally as high a value as does brick. He will work with Staff to create a visual screen - -fence with plantings on other side (apartment side) for example. Mr. Carlson expressed his appreciation to Mr. Maus for eliminating the setback request to the north. Mr. Maus indicated he would work with Staff on the matter of placing the fence -- middle of the setback, - - - etc. - -which would be best! PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES November 4, 1987 Page 3 Ms. Sterling expressed concern about the "official brick" with Chair Erickson indicating that perhaps the other "first" could be marble or granite, for example. He can appreciate the value of what is wished to be accomplished and agrees with the standards from the City Council, but this does not preclude him from accepting some other material of "equal" value. Mr. Maus commented that he felt downtown could begin to look "sterile" if no other materials other than brick were used if the materials were of equal value. MOTION: of Carlson, seconded by Peterson, to recommend approval of the Site Plan and Building Permit, with the variance of 3% to the maximum lot coverage requirement. 9.
