OTHER BUSINESS
a. ARB-2015-49: Riverside Center: Awnings
The ARB considered the revised awning proposal and, in consensus, determined that the awning on the
west elevation was acceptable, but encouraged the applicant to consider holding the canvas awning back
from the corner (in line with the control j oint) to avoid visual conflict with the canopy on the front elevation.
b. ARB-2017-86: Piedmont Power Sign: Colors
Staff reported that the sign refacing was completed without an approved permit and asked the Board for
direction regarding the colors and fonts. It was the consensus of the ARB that the design should be revised
to meet the guidelines regarding number of colors and fonts.
c. ARB-2017-69: North Pointe Middle Entrance Landscape Plan: Tree size
The ARB viewed the revised landscape plan and considered the applicant's request to use a smaller planting
size for EC street trees. It was the consensus of the ARB that the 3%" planting size requirement should be
followed for this application, but staff should present additional information on the planting size issue for
continued ARB discussion on a more general basis.
