A. Capstone Quadrangle 2nd Addition Site Plan Review Ms. Sherman reviewed the site plan for the Capstone site at 93rd and Winnetka. She indicated the

first phase was built and that the two buildings proposed will be complementary to the first one on site. Mr. Mike Faber representing Capstone explained in more detail the exterior finishes of the building. Commissioner Kisch asked about the size and placement of the clear story windows. Mr. Faber stated that the windows work very well in the warehouse portion of the structure and that the architect that designed the buildings likes them. Commissioner Fletched asked about the screening of the dock area from 93rd Avenue. Mr. Faber explained that the area would be screened using vegetation and berming. Commissioner Kisch asked if the access to 93rd had to line up with the truck docks understanding that the site layout was consistent with the approved development plan. The commission discussed various ideas related to screening and the expectations that trucks would have some visability from 93rd Ave. The consensus was that something will be done to improve the screening at the entrance off of 93rd Ave. Motion, Hanson, Second Schmidt, to RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF SITE PLAN REVIEW #17-126 FOR TWO BUILDINGS, 110,700 AND 108,070 SQUARE FEET TO ACCOMMODATE OFFICE/WAREHOUSE/MANUFACTURING USES LOCATED ON THE NORTHWESTCORNER OF 93RD AVENUE AND WINNETKA AVENUE, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS IN THE DRAFT RESOLUTION.
