_ Mr. Otto advised that an e-mail had been received from a resident at 418 St. Mazy's Street expressing concerns if a bar or pub were established in this building. Staff informed the neighbor that this application would not include the approval of any uses and that a proposed bar in this located would require a separate use permit approval by the Planning Commission. Staff believes that the building and site modifications have been attractively designed and would fit in well with the historic Downtown Pleasanton. Staff recommended approval of this application and the certificate of appropriateness to modify the building, subject to the conditions in Exhibit B, with the modification to Condition No. 12. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Kameny regazding the pedestrian walkway, Mr. Otto confirmed that the west side had the City's driveway, which may also be a pedestrian use. The east side of the building had a narrow passageway, and the gates would be closed after hours. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Robert Byrd noted that he would represent his brother James, who owned the building, and they had agreed to the 71 conditions in the staff report. He took issue with the roof, stating that they were not interested in installing a steel roof because of the quality of its appearance. In response to an inquiry by Commissioner Arkin, Mr. Byrd replied that they planned to use the highest quality roof materials by installing a 50-year presidential shake roof. He added that appearance, rather than money, was the important issue to them. Commissioner Arkin indicated that he wanted more information about the flags and that any sign program would still need approval. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED. Commissioner Arkin moved to approve PDR-355 as conditioned in the staff report, with the following modifications: 1. Include the three drawings received by the Planning Commission as part of Exhibit A, which included the 50-year presidential shake roof; 2. Add a condition that any change visible from public access shall be subject to the Planning Commission's review and approval; and 3. Delete the word "concrete" from Condition No. 12. Commissioner Sullivan seconded the motion. ROLL CALL VOTE AYES: Commissioners Arkin, Kameny, Maas, Roberts, and Sullivan. NOES: None. ABSTAIN: None. ABSENT: None. Resolution No. PC-2004-41 was entered and adopted as motioned. PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES June 23, 2004 Page 8 of 15
