Now that the roof has been framed for the VC we can all see that the corner tower with that almost flat little roof is simply awful. Now that the thing is there and likely to stand for a long, long time it seems to me that the Village should at least make them tear it off and put on something that would be more in keeping with the other buildings in town. When you walk toward the building or are in some parts of Centennial park it appears as though the tower has a flat roof! I tried to get the Village to demand story poles and have them do truly accurate drawings and photos but they wouldn't do it. This thing is plug-ugly and too big for the site, but at least they could modify the roof with a raised tower for the corner that would go perhaps four feet above the gables and give some presence to the main focal point of the structure. Also, the "main entrance" on Burlinton is going to have an exposed cinder block wall, it appears, up on the roof near the gable. That's another real problem, visually. And those gables that are only 24" or so deep are really pathetic - as you look at it you will be able to see behind them and realize that they are just pasted on the edge of a flat roof. They need to be framed in at least another 3-4 feet.
Since the developers are selling the top floor apartments with the deck area to the north (over the former Chmel property) as part of the corner condo, and there was never a variance given for a four story structure over the Chmel property, that fourth floor deck probably needs an additional variance to be included. That might be the lever to use to get a better roofscape for this thing. The way it looks now is simply absurd.
