The City of Hudson Planning Commission met on December 12, 2022, at 7:30 PM at Town Hall, 27 East Main Street. The meeting included public hearings on two major applications: a conditional use and site plan review for Hudson Community Living (HCL) and a site plan review for Standard Shop Co. The meeting was preceded by the Industrial Design Subcommittee meeting at 6:45 PM. The meeting was adjourned at 12:18 AM on December 13, 2022.
I'm calling to order a uh scheduled meeting for the uh industrial design subcommittee, and this is to review the design elevations with respect to the standard shop company, it's PC case 22-931. We'll be reporting on the results of this later. We'll kind of try to move this along. Uh of course I wish everybody was here to attend the design subcommittee meeting, but I think they're here for a subsequent um uh meeting with the planning commission. So Mr. Sugar, would you like to uh start it off? Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. Uh give a brief update. Um the industrial design subcommittee previously reviewed uh the the elevations, the proposed design on this project. Um there were some some comments from the design subcommittee members and the applicant was asked to um further refine and study the design. Uh just a brief update. I have the uh current proposal, the revisions up on the screen here. Um a few a few notes, uh additional details were added, uh front gables, larger window openings. Uh note the stone base was changed to brick and applied at the building corners. Um there are bay ends added. Um you can see here on the side elevation, those are projections that that um extend out. Um I would note there are l there's less repetition in the doors and windows. Um that's one of the items the subcommittee requested. Um some of the auditing designs have been changed up. Um in that in that respect as well. Uh as far as our staff comments. Uh we have the full report in front of you, um, but still keeping the comment to apply additional masonry to the center main mass. Um we did comment uh that suggested to remove the corner banding on the buildings. Um suggested larger window openings along terracks, so that would be your rear elevations and uh applying suggested applying additional bump out masses, um, so they would be applied to hypothetically B D and A, buildings B D and A, um uh which would kind of enclose the site on the east and west west ends. Um those are my updates for the subcommittee. I don't know if the applicant would like to make some comments. Thanks, Mr. Sugar. If you could like give your feedback to those, and then we'll turn it over to our members to follow up with any questions or comments. Actually, do uh why don't you give your names and stuff for the record since we're recording this? All right, uh good evening. I'm Dave Palagra. I'm an architect. I just kind of joined the team here within the last 10 days and and actually had the opportunity to meet with Nick and talk a little bit about the project. Uh my uh address is 2231 Broad Boulevard in Cago Falls. Thank you. Uh my name is Adam Stone Street, the owner and developer. Uh address is 9690 42nd Street, South Fargo, North Dakota. Thank you. So uh, you know, let me let me just kind of do a cursory review. Um, like I said, Nick was kind enough to kind of sit down and go through the list. I think we're all basically the majority of the items have no questions about taking care of them. And there's some things that I looked at and Nick and I talked over, for instance, uh the masonry corners. I think in lieu of doing the masonry corners, uh, a better solution would be doing more of a water table going around the building. It would be about 54 inches high, and it'd come to help break it up the the overall appearance in a more consistent approach. Um I also talked about I think the center mass right now. I think one of the things that we should probably look at doing is having a different color, another different earth tone to kind of break that up from the others, so it helps differentiate a little bit of that appearance of the overall building. So we've also uh I've done some uh some basic sketches, which I can show the board here in a few minutes, but uh there's also some uh inconsistencies that we tried to clean up as far as some of the alignment of some of the windows and doors um along the street side. So that was kind of all the things that we looked at.
