Ms. Michelotti said the staff report alludes to the fact when he asked for the change from <br />wood to metal windows, there would still be trim around the windows. <br /> <br /> Mr. Churka said another reason he went with the metal windows is to support the Planning <br />Departments issue in having a considerable number of windows in the front. With the number of <br />windows put in, the space was limited for molding. He said if the City wanted fewer windows the <br />molding could be wider. He figured the 4x6 windows worked well and helped to accomplish what <br />the City wanted. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said there must have been a miscommunicationbetween the City and him in <br />regards to the molding. She understood that when molding is set a sash window, it does not reach <br />right to the edge. <br /> <br /> Mr. Churka said the molding did not appeal to him. <br /> <br /> Ms. Michelotti said staff was expecting the sash part of the window to be metal but there <br />would still be trim around the outside. <br /> <br /> Mr. Churka said he installed the same window that was approved by the Planning <br />Department. <br /> <br /> Mayor Tarver read from the staff report that staff approved the change about the color, in <br />addition the approved plan specifies that wood frames would be used on the building. The <br />applicant requested to change the window frame material from the approved wood to aluminum. <br />Staff allowed the applicant to make this change believing that wood sills and trim would still be <br />installed around the window frames. He asked if the window frame that was installed is the <br />window frame that was presented to staff. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said staff understood the change Mr. Churka wanted to make from a wood <br />window to a metal window, but felt the trim around the windows would remain. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis understood the windowsills are more problematic than the trim to install. <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said the trim that is integral to the window solves the problem that a sill is <br />designed to do, which is to allow water to escape from the window and not let it run into the <br />building. A tree sill could not be replaced in the windows installed, but molding could be applied <br />below the window. The window does have a narrow sill. <br /> <br /> Ms. Dennis asked if the lap siding was wood or aluminum? <br /> <br /> Mr. Swift said it is wood. <br /> <br />Pleasanton City Council 16 04/6/99 <br />Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
