<br /> "The materials for the project should be of a high quality and should, at ground <br /> level, be of a pedestrian scale. The design and detail of the architecture should <br /> enhance the pedestrian experience. Natural materials are encouraged. <br /> "The design of the street level facades should contain sufficient relief to <br /> encourage pedestrian interest and interaction with the buildings." (Gilman) <br /> Discussions about the proposed additions to the RFP followed. It was suggested Vice <br /> Chairman Ruskin's additions could be used as guidelines. Some of the additions <br /> would require more detail than usual at the early stages of the process. The level of <br /> detail could be increased at each stage. Proposals which included the Middlefield <br /> Road strip or excluded the strip could be submitted. Mass of structure could be <br /> alleviated by use of architectural features that would permit pedestrians to not be <br /> overwhelmed and create pedestrian interest at eye level. <br /> MIS: Leipzig, Bain, to define the project description as the "Proposed Downtown Retail- <br /> Cinema Project" as it is described in the Requests for Proposals, amended to include the <br /> word changes presented as follows: <br /> (Ruskin's additions) <br /> item 1. shall read" Street elevations must not be blank walls, but should contain glazed <br /> retail units and/or glazed lobbies." <br /> item 3, a and b, shall read: <br /> "a. appropriate square footage <br /> b. conceptual floor plans of all levels" <br /> (Gilman's additions) <br /> delete last sentence of first paragraph, <br /> to designate the entire area portrayed in Exhibit "A" (attached) as the "Proposed <br /> Downtown Retail-Cinema Project Area" for the purpose of the Owner Participation <br /> process, to direct staff to distribute" Offers to Participate" to the owners of property <br /> located within the "Proposed Downtown Retail-Cinema Project Area," approve <br /> distribution of the RFP for the Proposed Downtown Retail-Cinema Project." <br /> MINUTE ORDER NO.
