finished properly and she did not like people making changes and then asking for permission after the fact. Ms. Dennis said there is not a good way to fix the sill problem. Ms. Ayala asked if there was a way to have the detailed trim that was originally conditioned. Mr. Swift said there are a number of ways, but none of those ways would be easy. The most consistent way would be to overlap the piece that is there, but that would look unusual. It would be easier to add trim to the top and bottom of the second story windows to beef up the treatment, but this would not look like what was originally approved. Ms. Dennis had a concem with adding trim that would look unusual. She feels the City bears some responsibility in approving the change. Ms. Michelotti said even when windows are put in stucco; there is some kind of articulation. She suggested people look at the windows on the Chamber of Commerce building and the Von building. She said people would be able to see the difference between trim and no trim. She said it might be possible to put molding on the top of the windows on the second story to get a window sill effect. She would like to see some kind of articulation to improve the aesthetics of the building. She would also like the height of the fence revisited. Mayor Tarver said he frequently visits the Coffee Roast and did not like being in this situation. He said from the beginning of this project there has been friction about the design issues, the downtown design guidelines, the size of the building, etc. He feels Mr. Churka has responded to what staff has recommended. It has taken a considerable amount of time, but it is Mr. Churka's fight to build his own building, just like Mr. Hovingh has every fight to file an appeal. He said the question is how far does everyone want to go with this and how much more do people want to wait. It is up to Mr. Churka to decide if he wants to ask for design changes. He could support a motion upholding the Planning Commissions decision. It was moved by Mr. Pico, seconded by Ms. Dennis, to adopt Resolution No. 99-043, denying the appeal (Case AP-99-02) and thereby upholding the decision of the Planning Commission regarding the application of Diane and Edward Churka, as filed under Case Z- 99-25. Ms. Michelotti made a substitute motion, seconded by Ms. Ayala, that the top windows be articulated and that the Churkas consider changing the height of the fencing. Ms. Ayala agreed the fence should be lowered. Pleasanton City Council 19 04/6/99 Minutes
