permit was never obtained for the colors presented in the application. The applicant, Jacques
Ardisson, and his attorney, Cory Hoffman, were present. Mr. Hoffman stated that Mr. Ardisson

for the new building The Board also stated that a shuttle through the university will increase

Planning & Zoning meeting
-4- March 15, 2001
NEW BUSINESS: Discussion re: Roof tile and the use of patterned tile.
Discussion re: Site plan/ elevations for library addition.
In regards to the patterned roof tiles, Mr. Berg would consider the slope, harmony, and pattern of
the roof tile before approving the proposed plan. If there are any doubts, Mr. Berg could bring
the case to the planning & Zoning Board.
In regards to the library addition, the Board reviewed the site plan and their main concerns were:
1. The windows have an unbalance look.
2. The in-between space of the buildings should be used (courtyard or fountain).
3. There should be more of a connection on the roof line so the addition does not look like an
addition.
4. Plans need to show fire hazard exits and meet requirements.
Next meeting will be on April 19, 2001.
