VII. Other Business

Ms. Coffman introduced the informal discussion by questioning the overall compatibility of

the proposed structure with the surrounding neighborhood, and that the Comprehensive Plan

describes this area as a Gateway into Hudson. Ms. Coffman oriented the Board to the location

of the proposed building.

Ms. & Mr. Dave ___________, stated: The project is proposed for Landmark Drive, that a

large facility is needed for their business model, that the area does not have a consistent type

of building, and they would like this AHBR review prior to hiring construction professionals.

The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed: The nature of the business and how the space will

be used, that the building will begin with a 3000 square foot facility, and then be enlarged by

a 5000 to 8000 square foot facility in a phase two, that the project is at a very early stage with

no drawings or design of the future building, that this is not in a historic district, that

Darrowville - in the Comprehensive Plan - is to become a more neighborly area, that the

question to be asked is, "Does this building fit the context of the surrounding area", that a

barn type structure exists between the property in question and Darrow Road, that the

envisioned structure might be up to 24-feet tall, that a building with a pitched roof will fit the

neighborhood better than a block building with a flat roof, that the two phases of the plan will

be developed even though the building will take place in separate phases, and that consistency

of materials, fenestration, and a building that fits in this neighborhood are important to the

AHBR.

The Board also noted that the stone as pictured on the bottom of the presented rendering

would be favored, that Hardi Board would be of a higher quality than a metal siding, and that

staff will need to research the types of allowable parking lot surfaces.

The Board discussed this issue.
