Dear Chris,
Thank you for your clear reply. I've copied your next steps below and ask that you send the outcome to all copied on this email.
Sincerely,
Cindy

"The next steps will be for the applicant to submit the revised architectural plans incorporating the DAB feedback in a Technical Document application. Per the conditions of approval, the Planning Director will review the plans for compliance with the council request, taking into account recommendations from DAB. I intend that all the staff members present in the Oct. DAB meeting will assist in making this determination."

Dear Cindy,

Thank you for the email. You are correct, on July 17, 2018 City Council approved the applications for Site Review, Use Review and Rezoning for the property at 311 Mapleton.  At that time, a condition of approval was added as follows,
"Prior to a building permit application, the Applicant shall submit, and obtain City Manager approval of, a Technical Document Review application for the following items:


Final architectural plans, including material samples and colors, to ensure compliance with the intent of this approval and compatibility with the surrounding area. The architectural intent shown on the plans prepared by the Applicant on May 4, 2018 is acceptable. Planning staff will review plans with Boulder Design Advisory feedback to ensure that the architectural intent of the approval is met.  Without reducing the number of units, the Applicant shall submit proposed changes to the approved architectural plans that reduce the apparent bulk, mass, and scale of the following structures: A, B1 and B2, and the H and J Cottages.
On October 24, 2018, the Design Advisory Board reviewed draft changes presented by the applicant and generally determined that the applicant had been successful in reducing the apparent bulk, scale, and massing of the specific buildings. The final minutes of that discussion are pending DAB approval at its meeting this week on Jan 23, 2019. Myself, Jim Robertson, Elaine McLaughlin, and Kalani Pahoa from the Planning Department were present at the meeting to hear the DAB's feedback.

The next steps will be for the applicant to submit the revised architectural plans incorporating the DAB feedback in a Technical Document application. Per the conditions of approval, the Planning Director will review the plans for compliance with the council request, taking into account recommendations from DAB. I intend that all the staff members present in the Oct. DAB meeting will assist in making this determination.

I hope this helps to address your questions.

Thanks, Chris

Subject: DAB and 311 Mapleton

Dear Jane,
My understanding is that the council was to have heard back from Jim Robertson regarding the Design Advisory Board's disposition of 311 Mapleton design issues brought forward by the council.
The authority vested in Jim Robertson on July 17 regarding understanding and facilitating Council's "intent" to DAB now rests with whom since Jim has moved on?  The November and December meetings of DAB were both cancelled for lack of quorum, and the regularly scheduled January 9 DAB meeting has been rescheduled to January 23, which is tomorrow, Wednesday. My understanding, since I've had inquiries, is that there are still no official minutes of the October 24 DAB meeting where 311 was discussed, and thus the question of whether Council's "intent" with DAB has been satisfied is still an open issue.
Can you enlighten me and the council and the community where we are with this request to DAB?
Thank you,
Cindy
