Some of the primary goals of the Planning Committee <br /> have been to ensure that the facility was user friendly to the client and employee alike, that it was a <br /> "good fit" architecturally into the neighborhood and that it was a model for energy efficiency. The <br /> resulting design appears to meet those goals well. The Board is specifically asked to comment on <br /> the meeting room design as well as the building materials proposed for the facility. <br /> As a reminder,the Planning Committee includes Steve Halkiotis and Alice Gordon (BOCC), Ned Brooks <br /> and Anne Maddry(neighborhood representatives),John Link,Albert Kittrell,Paul Thames, Marti Pryor- <br /> Cook and Pam Jones (County staff). The Planning Staff from both Chapel Hill and Orange County <br /> provided technical assistance as well. Roger Walden and Marvin Collins were ex-officio members. <br /> Mark Zack, project architect with Hakan/Corley and Associates,will be present to share the site plan, <br /> floor plan and renderings of the preliminary building elevations. <br /> All regulatory issues have been met and it is anticipated that the project will be ready for bidding by <br /> the end of the year. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board receive the information and endorse <br /> the plan presented. <br />
