Commissioner Narum noted that she met with the applicant on Memorial Day. Commissioner Olsen noted that he met with the applicant on Memorial Day and added that the package the Commissioners were sent had a picture of a building with a dormer that had been removed. He had since received a new picture, and while he did not like the colors shown on the picture, he liked the dormer effect very much. He inquired why that picture was not in the packet. Mr. Otto replied that he had not seen that picture before and that it had not been submitted to staff. Chairperson Fox disclosed that she had met with applicant together with Commissioner O’Connor. Commissioner Blank believed the CUP for the Union Jack Pub was done in the late 1980s and that it was very broad at that time, leading to difficulties in defining possible revocation circumstances. Mr. Otto noted that the Union Jack Pub conditions had been modified to be tightened to reflect the Planning Commission’s recent approvals of bars. He noted that he had copies of the Union Jack Pub’s modified conditions for the Commissioners’ review. Ms. Decker summarized the revisions made by the Planning Commission and City Council on the original use permit conditions for the Union Jack Pub (UP-88-17) as follows: Condition No. 3 regarding the hours of operations; Condition No. 6 regarding the maintenance of the area surrounding the restaurant/bar; Condition No. 8 regarding the fencing between the restaurant/bar and the adjacent properties; and Condition No. 11 regarding the six-month review of the use permit. THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED. Michael O’Callaghan, applicant, introduced project architect Charles Huff. Charles Huff, project architect, described the architectural changes of the project and noted that they wished to introduce the first outdoor eating second-floor deck over a sidewalk on Main Street. The approach to the glass area in front would enable them to open the doors up on nice summer evenings. He noted that they would be able to include the gable if desired by the Commission. He noted that the decisions to be made entailed the color, roof, and gable/no gable. In response to an inquiry by Chairperson Fox regarding the possibility of using stained glass, Mr. Huff replied that may be used for a sign, if desired. He noted that there were many buildings that were white or beige, and they designed the building to be less nondescript, using a rust color similar to the Casa Del Roso restaurant in Dublin and Livermore. He noted that they could also use more of an adobe color. Commissioner O’Connor noted that he would not want to see the same white/tan color palette repeated in this building as the rest along Main Street and added that it would look like a tract of homes of the same color.
