RE: Review of March 20, 1985
The Design Review Committee met for the second
time with Mr. John M. Lynch on Tuesday, April 16, 1985
and -Mr. Terry Meyers of Meyers Associates, 60 Linden St.,
Waterbury, Conn., Engineer, to discuss revised plans
for a storage facility.
Mr. Meyers stated to the Committee that the plans
for the storage facility have been changed and the
buildings situated in a different location due to the
fact that the Town of Berlin is in a First Fire District.
Being in a First Fire District would require that all
doors be fire rated. By allowing 60' between buildings
and 30' on the sides of the buildings for passage of
fire trucks, the fire rated doors would not be required.
Mr. Lynch presented three different finishes for
the outside of the buildings. The first two consisted
of different types of graphic bands being painted on
the buildings. The third suggestion, which the Committee
felt was the most attractive, called for 3/4" grooves
going up and down along the concrete panels of -the buildings.
This effect would be used along the front of the first
two buildings and would help to break up the expanse
of the long buildings. The panels will be beige in color.
Mr. Lynch proposed plans for two signs. One would
be mounted on the first building and one would be a concrete
monument sign near the front of the property. An appeal
to allow more than one sign has been filed with the Zoning
Board of Appeals. The building sign would be 25' x 414"
and the monument sign 8'4" x 4'4" with an additional base
height of 4'2". The signs will be orange & black using
Public Storage's logo.
Revised plans call for all the buildings to be
two stories in height. The front building will be 100'
x 130';and the other three buildings will be 50' x
250', with the 250' sides facing the highway. All the
buildings will have elevators to the second floor.
