The approved elevations show a brick façade with a metal standing seam roof. The revised elevations include metal panels and CMU split face block in addition to brick on the facades. The roof remains standing seam metal. 2. The height as measured from the ground to the peak of the roof has increased from approximately twenty-four feet four inches (24’ 4”) to approximately twenty-seven feet six inches (27’ 6”) for the one-story portions of the building. The overall height of the gymnasium remains at approximately thirty feet (30’). Financial Considerations: None. Strategic Link: Quality Development.
