Condition 59: Mr. Churka inquired about submitting plans on computer disk. He was not aware of this technology. Mr. Iserson noted this is a standard condition and advised he speak to the Building Department to verify what programs they could utilize. Condition 60: Mr. Churka asked that the signal box be relocated across the street. Commissioner McGuirk inquired whether there was a walkway available for people using the walk-up window. He was told there will not be a walkway in this area. PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED The Commissioners discussed the color choices as opposed to the direction they gave at the last hearing -- light base/dark trim. The Commissioners want the applicant to continue working with staff as to color choice from the approved color palette. The Commission discussed the brick/wrought iron walls and whether the wall at the deck area should be lowered as well. Staff is recommending that it be lowered. Commissioner Barker noted the applicant opened this area up and prefers to accept the modifications as designed by the architect. Regarding the handicapped access, Chairman Wright has no concern with the proposed lift and does not feel it will stigmatize handicapped persons. He does have concern that it blend in with the building design and color. Commissioner Barker inquired of staff if the applicant has to wait for the street widening project to start before beginning his project. Mr. Higdon advised that the Engineering Department would quickly get a plan prepared after the applicant pulled his building permit so as to coordinate the two projects simultaneously. Mr. Higdon also advised that the City will need an eight foot public service easement on Ray Street to pull the overhead utility lines. This should be added to Condition 13. Chairman Wright requested an addition to Condition 12 stating the curbing must be painted red at the walk-up window. In response to Commissioner McGuirk, staff advised that the Title 24 guidelines require handicapped access at all entrances. Commissioner McGuirk inquired about any enforcement measures if the motorized lift breaks and is not repaired in a timely manner. Mr. Iserson thought a private lawsuit could be brought by a handicapped individual against the building owner. Chairman Wright did not feel that Condition 45 needed to be modified.
