Elevations need to show for existing and proposed grades and elevations from Highway 246. Look at possibly a canted shortened tower; windows need to be recessed and broken up; discourage use of plaster on large walls; canopy needs more character-look at using three smaller canopies with a pitched roof. Landscaping is too busy; building and trees should be used as a gateway when entering from Highway 246. Good examples of Highway 246 landscape shown at the Casino. Circulation should try to incorporate pedestrian uses more; buffer from Highway with landscaping first then sidewalk next; current landscaping plan would need a lot of maintenance to keep looking fresh and crisp; less may be more.
