MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Michele McPherso , irector of Planning
DATE: May 8, 2001
SUBJECT: Business Park Design Standards
The Commission may recall that Brookstone Development attended a workshop earlier this
year regarding the recently adopted changes to the design standards for the Business Park
District. These design standards prohibit the use of pre-cast concrete panels in the
• construction of buildings within the Business Park District. During the last workshop
discussion the Commission did state that they would consider a revision to these standards if
the developer could provide examples from other communities which allow the use of pre-
cast panels in combination with other building materials.
Brookstone Development will be providing a short video presentation of buildings
constructed in other communities using pre-cast concrete panels. These are buildings similar
to what is being proposed for the East Business Park. They will also provide a set of written
standards for the Commission to consider during the workshop session.
