June 16 - EDC Minutes:
C.3 Union Bank- Phase 2 (DP) Sue Han- FRANK Architecture
Motion of Support: J. Mills
Seconded: D. Brown
The Committee welcomes this proposed development, and in the interest of ensuring a high standard of urban design recommends the Applicant:
● Review the exterior lighting placement, particularly at the masonry base, inconsideration of winter snow conditions/accumulation - especially as the primary means of illumination. Consideration should be given to additional elevated wall lighting.
● Review the masonry base (materiality, finish and size) in relation to the modernization of the historic facade. Explore a material selection that does not necessarily replicate the “distressed weathered” appearance of the historical bricks as a contemporary product selection.
● Consider how exterior surfaces, raised landscape areas, and other site furnishing sand features complement and define the pedestrian corridor and the interface and connectivity with Jasper Avenue, Telus Plaza, and MacDonald Drive.
For the Motion: J. Monfries, K. Dieterman, N. LaMontagne, D. Brown, M. Tindall, J.Mills, N. Pryce, S. Gibson, K. Oxley, C. Dorward

The notch in the eastern facade (second and third floors) would look great if it was an enclosed glass atrium with expressive year-round green plants -- 'twould greatly improve the elevation on that side of the building.

and with some creative lighting at night...
It could become a downtown landmark... small steps = big gains.

I think it's interesting, but how would that hold up in winter, particularly our deep freeze week?

So what exactly are they adding, a new building and a parking lot?

The covered greenhouse extension over the patio, revised layouts/uses and my guess is a more secure back of house/parking area.
