Loading...
Summary
Spring Hill Water requested design review for three temporary metal storage buildings totaling about 5,900 sq ft at 3636 Royal Park Boulevard. Staff noted UDC section 17.1.D.3 prohibits metal siding in the IC district and asked for planning commission feedback and final color selections prior to the voting meeting.
At the March 23 work session the Spring Hill Water Department requested design review to place three temporary metal storage buildings totaling approximately 5,900 square feet inside the existing gated area of the police headquarters site at 3636 Royal Park Boulevard.
Staff (Ms. Burke) described the proposed structures and noted that section 17.1.D.3 of the Uniform Development Code prohibits aluminum, steel or other metal siding in the IC district, though the planning commission acting as the design review authority may modify or waive design standards. "Staff would like planning commission feedback on the design standards," the staff report said.
The submitted elevations showed three different metal structures; the applicant said final color selections will be reviewed by planning staff prior to bid selection and indicated the proposed palettes use earth tones with a black roof and pewter-gray siding. Ryan Shambly (Thomas & Hutton) and Jeremy Vanford (Spring Hill Water) were present at the podium to answer questions.
Chair and staff asked to see final elevations and color samples before placing the item on the consent agenda. One commissioner expressed that the structure is not visible from the road and was less concerned about façade color; staff reiterated a desire to see final material choices in writing before the voting meeting. No formal action was taken at the work session.
