Board orCommission: ❑Appearance Review Team Document Type: 0 A e g nda 0 Minutes Meeting ate: 02/18/2004 Type of Meeting: ❑ Regular Meeting Appearance Review Team (ART) Meeting 6:30 p.m., 2/18/2004 55 Lake Cook Road — Bank of America Petitioner: George Boddy of Jones Lang LaSalle— Proposed Bank Facility ART TEAM: Steve Trilling, Trustee Liaison to the Plan Commission Susan Kenski-Sroka, Plan Commissioner Howard Teplinsky, Plan Commissioner Robert Pfeil, Village Planner Greg Summers, Associate Planner ALSO PRESENT: Tony Turek, Jones Lang LaSalle Ray Kennedy, Gensler Architects CC: Jeff Berman, Trustee Liaison to the Plan Commission Plan Commission SUBJECT SITE 55 Lake Cook Road (SWC Lake Cook Road & Route 83) PETITIONER REQUEST Petitioner George Boddy, Jones Lang LaSalle (on behalf of Bank of America), is seeking approval of a preliminary plan in the B-2 District. The plan proposes construction of a new one-story bank facility with three double-stacked drive up lanes (two for teller access and one ATM lane). ART RECOMMENDATION / NOTES The ART team previously reviewed the proposed bank facility on December 17, 2003. At that time the ART made seven recommendations for modifications. Ray Kennedy reviewed those seven recommendations and Bank of America's responses: 1. Windows on the north side elevation appear too "punched." The brick color in the window area has been modified and cast stone lintels have been added above the windows to integrate the area with the building style. 2. Aluminum and glass storefront look needs to be modified. The entry of the building has been adapted to incorporate a cast stone base, brick pillars separating the doors from the adjacent windows, and smaller windows in lieu of the previously proposed glass storefront. 3. Color of red entry canopy needs to be modified. While the size and configuration of the A.C.M. (aluminum composite metal) canopy remains unchanged, Bank of America has deviated from their standard color scheme and is proposing a neutral tan in lieu of bright red. 4. Western flat roof portion of the building should be more integrated with the building. The petitioner clarified that the cast stone base and metal cornice will continue around the rear portion of the facility to integrate the appearance. Furthermore, a partial sloped roof over the western portion of the building unifies the appearance of the roof areas. The new roof also provides screening for equipment which is housed within a mechanical well. 5. Explore the possibility of adding or implying additional relief on the building facades. Bank of America has added a brick quoin appearance to the corners off the main entry fagade by incorporating inset brick bands where the entry protrudes from the core of the building. Additionally, the entry portion of the building has been stepped out eight inches to enhance the fagade's relief. 6. The visual scale of the drive-thru should be reduced. The roof peak has been reduced at the drive-thru portion of the structure. The modification breaks the drive-thru mass from the core portion of the bank building thereby reducing its visual scale. 7. Roof signs are not permitted by the Village Sign Code. The sign proposed for the entry elevation has been modified from a roof (canopy) mounted sign to be mounted on the wall behind. The change addresses the bank's need for signage while keeping the necessary support structure to a minimum, thereby presenting a more attractive aesthetic. Trustee Trilling raised a question regarding the snow loads on the flat roof area located above the drive-thru and behind the parapet element. Mr. Kennedy indicated that the snow load and drainage issues for that area have not yet been completely resolved. He understood Trustee Trilling's concern and indicated the required loads would be met in the final design. In response the an ART question the petitioner clarified that the inset brick bands will be the same color brick as the field brick used on the balance of the structure. It was also noted that the colors as depicted on the rendering are "washed out" and that the elevations provide a more accurate depiction of the proposed color scheme. Photographs of ATM's at other newly constructed bank of America facilities were distributed and the petitioner stated that the ATM's at the Buffalo Grove facility would be the same light gray material with a small Bank of America name and logo. ART members noted that the Building Commissioner would need to comment on the permissibility of locating the bank name and logo on the ATM's as well as all other aspects of the proposed signage package. The team noted that the petitioner has not yet submitted elevations for the proposed monument sign. Tony Turek indicated this sign would use materials consistent with those to be used on the building, most likely a cast stone base with a brick surround. The ART asked that color scalable elevations for the ground sign be provided along with all other documentation required for the project's Public Hearing submittal.

ART RECOMMENDATION / NOTES The annexation agreement dated March 20, 1995 approved by Ordinance 95-26 allows outdoor lighting for the ball fields located at Busch Grove Community Park. The annexation agreement sets forth an approval procedure for the specific lighting fixtures (see paragraph 24.A. of the agreement). M Annex Agrmt_Par 24A_3-20-1995.pdf The agreement requires review and recommendation of the lighting plan by the Appearance Commission. Since that commission is no longer in place, the Appearance Review Team (ART) reviewed the lighting plans for the purpose of making a recommendation for consideration by the Village Board. Petitioner John Green provided an overview of the lighting project. The ball field lighting would be ten 70' tall poles. Eight of the poles would contain nine lights each, and two of the poles would have eighteen lights each (nine facing either direction). Mr. Green stated the lighting layout was designed by the manufacturer to balance height, intensity, and number of lights. The poles are a galvanized metal and product specifications for the light fixtures was provided. The light fixtures will be directional in nature and provide a cut-off to minimize light spill. For comparison purposes Mr. Green noted that the adjacent Park District Golf Dome is 65' in height. The parking lot poles and light fixtures would be white and match those located at the fitness center and would be 30'tall. In response to questions from the ART Michael Rylko noted that the lights would be used nightly during the summer and would be on a combination switch and timer. The timer would shut the lights off automatically at 10:30 p.m., but the lights could be switched on and off prior to that time. The ART found the lighting proposal to be in conformance with what was anticipated when the annexation agreement was executed. The team also found the lighting proposal to be aesthetically consistent with other lighting located in the vicinity as well as community-wide. The proposal will be forwarded to the Village Board for final approval. 1.
