That's great all right and as Steve said with Bob Hymerall not being here any other potential conflicts of interest hearing none we will move to item four approval of the minutes from May 23rd. We have a motion and a second any further discussion Hearing none all those in favor signify by saying aye. Opposed minutes are approved thank you very much and Eric if you and your team can come forward and make introductions and then give us a brief synopsis of what you're proposing for Sheboygan Leadership Academy at 1305 St. Clair Avenue. Absolutely thank you Mr. Chairman. My name is Eric Fleschman I'm with Advocacy Architects right up the road and this is Laura Studi principal of Sheboygan Leadership Academy. We are in the area and we have a new facade renovation project that we're proposing basically the building needs a facelift the neighborhood and the school or more of the school but it will bring up the whole neighborhood image the school wants to become kind of bring their building into the new a new chapter and kind of become more appealing to new families and community members by doing that this kind of first project is to take the existing elevation and kind of repair it as well as improve it by using thin brick products shown here it's their color scheme is influenced by their existing scheme so with maybe Laura could talk a little bit about the colors and why they they are colorful we're not we're not your regular building here so maybe Laura could talk a little bit our colors and how what that means to them as the school. Sure so the design really was generated by a lot of the work that we've done we are a school of character education and virtues one of the virtues that we practice is creativity so creativity and just talking about service to others and service to the planet kind of all wraps in our ideas about upcycling being bright being creative repurposing old materials obviously the rehabilitation center of Sheboygan when we took it over has definitely been a work of love over the last 10 years we've constantly and consistently renovated the building trying to make it the best or one of the best charter schools in Sheboygan I won't say the best and we've just really enjoyed the project we enjoy always trying to make the building the best for our students and so the facade has been kind of slowly just dilapidated and kind of the structure that's on there right now it's like a stucco it's slowly crumbling and so we really wanted to not only redo the front of the building but also bring in natural light for our students and just pairing those ideas with the virtues of you know creativity and service the community and service to just our natural world as well and using those kind of kind of upcycling mentality as we wrapped it all in and worked with Eric on this design thank you so I'll add to that a little bit right now the facade has basically four classrooms kind of butted up to it and we have these old drafty moldy windows so first of all it's unpleasant for students and the daylight is also an issue so we we wanted to kind of solve two of those issues by bringing more natural light in getting higher thermal performing windows granted we are making the windows bigger bigger openings for those windows but the intent is to get natural daylight in get a better insulated window and then also improve the the image of the elevation we're using masonry products as well as an alucabond product two different types of alucabond system so all three of those in addition to kind of the aluminum storefront windows we think is going to really we're investing a lot of money into this elevation and we want to kind of produce that image of quality and an exciting new place to learn for students so those are kind of the grounds of of where the materials came from we took existing openings we we increased the height of them by removing the bottom courses we will remove the bottom courses to create a bigger window opening there's a awning style window on the bottom half with limiters at four inches with screens to protect kids from going in or out we're also going to be putting in we just had discussion about this unfortunately after the texas shooting we wanted to put a protective film over all of our glass so that projectiles and things of that nature will not it kind of i think it kind of any projectile would kind of get the glass would break but it wouldn't shatter so we're working that's kind of a recent that'll be in a construction bulletin but um we're trying to account for those safety issues with that um so do you have any questions about the facade itself and how we arrived at what we did yeah yeah dual pane thermal pane um it's a solar band 60 i don't know if that so it blocks the bad stuff and then um like uv light but it also performs well it's kind of an industry industry standard um so double pane so any idea what the u-value and shade coefficient is off the top of your head um i think with the solar band 60 it blocks 60 percent of the ultraviolet light as far as the u-value per unit that's what you're asking um i probably could get a cut sheet on that they've tested it we're working with shabuagan glass and they're putting together the storefront it's kind of a pre-manufactured aluminum but uh i could i could get that together and send it to you guys if you'd like um for for that value dave with our specific performance characteristics you were looking for well i just i noticed that there's a fair percentage of uh glass on the exterior walls and and uh their comments were that they wanted to be comfortable for the students um and they were concerned about uh i think you were alluding to glare earlier in your presentation and that's why i asked those two questions generally the louis glass can get down to like uh 0.04 to 0.03 i i'm not sure where yours will fall but um that's why i was just curious more concerned about their conductive losses and i can get i'll get more specifics from shabuagan glass okay other questions pan the top band of the building that real real light brick color is added different material the top that top you know you have the picture of it the very top i didn't know if that was brick or if that's something else so the top is oh okay right right right yeah it's their chest not okay but basically it's kind of a quarter son green book very plain and uniform okay that would form kind of the upper yeah i was just thinking that brick would be a little heavy and i assumed it wasn't that but i couldn't really tell okay good thank you um as far as how it goes together it's uh pretty simple there's sheathing with uh sprayed on uh weather barrier and then the there's kind of a proprietary metal track that goes on to that sheathing and then your mortar bed goes on to that um so it's it'll perform like a veneer wall the the water will go down and out um and we also are thickening the wall here um we're not intending to remove any of the well just enough to create a smooth surface of that kind of stucco surface uh substrate so we're not intending to remove any of the r value that has is inherent in that wall granted we are making the opening bigger and i'll i'll get an answer on the performance of the actual storefront um but that's that's how we intend to do it um the aluca bond will be flashed up over the top um and then it will also wrap the corner so that it doesn't look like a general store so not not one-dimensional in what we're doing here so there were some questions that staff had in their comments i think some of those appear to have been addressed but steve if you could go to the first rendering one of the questions was on the uh the west wall and that top one on the screen is that the the green is the west wall and the red is the north wall north wall set back yeah so right now um i believe right now i believe that green the west the west wall is currently their maroon i think and then the north wall is currently like a beige so if you look at the color pattern that we've set up we kind of continue what we've already like on the brick um so it goes green red brown blue and then we restart green red so we we're kind of continue with that pattern um that that red is also borrowed from their existing elevations the blue comes from their navy blue so we pulled in those colors um and then this is kind of future discussion too but we we're hoping that this elevation and what the material palette we've used here can kind of inform future work whatever that may be we're kind of setting up a language of these quality materials that have been kind of vetted by you guys and us that we might use again um in some form or another and then our standard question about rooftop mechanicals sure are their units are they screened where would they be going no there'll be no this is strictly to the elevation there's no floor work um we're we're putting in new openings new doors on doors uh eight and let's see eight seven there's two on that that north elevation and then there's two of them by a loading dock so we're swapping out those doors um but no mechanic work no floor plan work okay just new fenestration perfect um it was also a comment just reiterate the signage that you're showing as conceptual would need to come back for a separate sign permit we're not okay we're not the ones to give that one the thumbs up um but it looked fine from my end though I didn't have any other questions or comments anyone else otherwise I would entertain a motion so move oh we've we tied a second I'll second all right uh motion in a second any further discussion hearing none all those in favor signify by saying aye aye opposed motion is approved wonderful thank you very much good luck yeah nice to see the building getting freshened up good luck sure thank you just one more question um Steve and I had talked once we have the architectural review board approval and that letter then Joseph Schmidt who's the contractor will be able to come in and get a building permit for yep he should be able start talking to uh Jeff Lutzky and the building permit uh process okay sure so sure thank you sir yep so if if you want you could have those guys start to begin that process right now if you want okay Jeff Jeff Lutz Jeff Lutzky or Lynne in our building permit office okay yes beautiful all right thank you yep all right and our next meeting is currently scheduled for the 27th yes Pam you're back with us now all
