Rocky Aiyash spoke on behalf of the owner of Kerwell. The Commission noted that regular maintenance is needed for exterior façade painting as it tends to chip over time and suggested the exterior be stained as an alternative option. The Petitioner stated a concern with sandblasting the exterior as it may ruin the façade, the Commission recommended pressure washing instead. Staff noted if the Petitioner is unsuccessful in returning the exterior façade back to its natural masonry condition, the exterior color is required to be neutral per the design guidelines.
