The Board, applicant and staff discussed: A wood laminated steel core door, that the cost factor my be considered by AHBR, that the lower level ground floor windows are a security concern, the protective film over the windows and that replacement of the windows on the addition may be considered at some point, how the building looks in historical photos, the Board's desire to see a quote and specifications for a metal core wood clad door, that the building is built on the property line which creates setback issues for new construction, that the proposed doors closely match the front doors, that a door with no window makes answering the door more difficult, and the nature of the safety glass.
