Mr. Sugar noted the store front along Clinton Street and the rear elevation were discussed at the previous AHBR meeting. Since the December meeting staff has examined the Land Development Code and notes that since the proposed building is under 5,000 square feet the Land Development Code does not apply to the design of the front and back elevations. However, the Design Standards do require a distinct bay effect every 40 feet. Mr. Sugar also reviewed the proposal presented by the applicant noting that the rear of the building is now less prominent, as the Board requested. Board members expressed appreciation for the changes made by the applicant and made suggestions for further development of the design.
