<br />The Georgatos' said that it would not. <br /> <br />Mr. Shutts asked if the Georgatos' would change their mind about the project if there were no <br />windows. <br /> <br />Mr. Georgatos said no because the entire site would be a structure and he believes the neighbors <br />would feel the same way if in their position. <br /> <br />Mrs. Georgatos asked if the addition could be moved more towards Martha's so that she can <br />have more of the view she is losing. She said that the windows were more than she anticipated <br />or thought. She said that the current view of trees and rooftops would be lost and they feel that <br />they'll lose that with the second story proposal. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker asked if the neighbors would support the second story if the applicants couldn't view <br />on to surrounding properties or if there was a mitigation measure that would suffice to their <br />concerns. <br /> <br />The neighbors said that nothing could be done to were they would agree with the proposal with <br />the exception of the second-floor being eliminated. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker said that there is a condition of approval for construction operations and that there <br />were restrictions on when construction can begin and end. Ms. Decker read the condition of <br />approval and asked if anyone had any questions or issues with it. <br /> <br />Mr. Imperiale said that he knows the contractor the applicants are going to use and he typically <br />does his construction work Monday through Friday and does not have a crew there on weekends. <br /> <br />The Georgatos said that they did not have a preference. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker then went over the noise standards for the City and what the dBA requirements are <br />and asked if anyone had an issue with that condition of approval. No comments were made. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker said that she is going to add a condition of approval to the proposed window. She <br />said that the windows shall be 6-foot raised transom windows that do not have to be opaque <br />glazed because the applicants will not be able to view on to the Georgatos' property. Ms. Decker <br />said that matching transom windows shall be placed on the sides of the master bedroom as well. <br />She said that with her conversations with Ms. Wensel, she was not concerned with window <br />placements. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker added another condition of approval that up to two trees, approved by the City, shall <br />be planted and shall not be any taller than the ridge of the house. She said that these trees would <br />soften the architecture of the addition and mitigate privacy concems. <br /> <br />Mr. Imperiale wanted to know what would happen if someone did not want trees. <br /> <br />Ms. Decker said it could be discussed now if he had comments. <br /> <br />Mr. Imperiale asked where the trees would be located. <br /> <br />Minutes: PADR-1472 <br /> <br />Page 4 of5 <br /> <br />April 13, 2006 <br />
