3. New Restaurant, Chipotle – 9046 N. Green Bay Road
Mr. Piotrowski reviewed the proposal and introduced Drew Goeke from Lingle Design, the
architect for the project. Mr. Goeke presented the proposed design and indicated that he heard
several concerns from staff prior to the meeting including the amount of EIFS. Mr. Eger stated
that he was concerned about the EIFS at lower heights on the north and east elevations. He
suggested using the same black metal paneling from the west elevation in place of much of the
EIFS. A discussion as to height of paneling ensued and it was determined that matching the window
height would be best on both elevations.
Mr. Lingle asked if the Board was ok with the exterior ladder. Mr. Eger stated that this was
concerning due to the visibility towards the new residential building. Mr. Lingel stated that the
ladder could be internalized. Mr. Eger stated that there was also concern about the lack of screening
of rooftop mechanicals for similar reasons. Mr. Lingle stated that Chipotle could add a screening
system. It was consensus of the Board that they would like a screening system added.
Mr. Thacker stated that he had concerns regarding the monotonous look of the brick on the main
drive-thru elevation. Mr. Lingle suggested that brick pillars could be added to help break up the
elevation. Mr. Manley stated that this might be a good solution. Mr. Eger and Mr. Thacker thought
it might distract from the modern aesthetic and suggested an expansion of the darker panel that
framed the drive-thr ough window. Mr. Lingle stated that he would explore such an expansion.
It was consensus of the Board to request a resubmittal of the building plans.
