“This one kind of strikes me, and I don't take this as a criticism. It just feels a bit of an afterthought.”

“Well, I think the material and the location, and I'm just one voice. But it strikes me as a developer, the location of the sign will be hidden a lot if you're coming Eastbound on 27th, it'll be difficult to see because of the neighboring property. And westbound on 27th, it's partially hidden by the corner of the building.”

“And hence my observation of afterthought. It just feels like based on the physical conditions, it might have wanted been designed into the building. And then I think the material is, it's a handsome material. That portent in and of itself is beautiful, but it just, it's a little bit out of the normal palette of the architecture here.”

“Yeah, just to be clear, I think the member's comment is that the panel on the rendering that says the art of living begins here might be from a visibility point of view and an association of a sign with the project. better placed there, just as an observation.”

“Patricia, if I'm allowed to do this, may I pass the gavel so that I may make a motion? Okay. Do I need to appoint somebody? I'll pass the gavel to Heidi for the remainder of this. Sorry?”

“Vice Chair's absent. Okay. I'm going to move that this not be approved. And the two, I'm going to summarize the comments in simplicity, I hope, which is difficult for a man of verbosity. I think the two prevailing comments are, number one, that the location of the sign feels awkward. It's not our job to say whether from a marketing and business point of view it'll work or not work, but it just feels awkward and semi-hidden. I would we would encourage you to explore other locations for it. Secondly, I think the material, albeit, although the material in and of itself is not a problem, its…”

“Thank you. All in support of the recommended disapproval? Aye. Aye. Anyone else? Are there any recommend, any votes that would be in favor of an approval? So are we all, I didn't hear all the comments, are we all in support of a disapproval?”

“Yeah, I think the Friendly advice would be revisit where the sign goes physically, and that may help inform you of what the material of the sign design should be.”

“Just one question. I may have missed this earlier. What is the relationship between this and the building next door? There's no relationship. Not the same developer?”

“And just while we're interrupting you will try to do it all one time in the renderings over here is the brick next door the. Final solution or the lighter one below. Yeah, there's two options there, aren't there? There's a light one below.”

“So the side of what you mentioned earlier that the art that's shown on that rendering and on the rendering here is a placeholder graphics. Is that the same for the big flat side facade, that that's a placeholder? Yeah. What's the material behind that? Is that brick facade as well?”

“So I guess what we're looking at here and are wearing our WDRC hats is the placeholder for the graphics. Is there a signage element yet?”
