Re: 159 Main Street, Ossining, NY 10562
(S/B/L: 89.19 – 4 – 30, Zone District: “V C”
Dear Mr. Garbowit & Honorable Members of the H.P.C.,
As it relates to the aforementioned property location, we appear before the Board this evening on behalf of
our Client, Lozano Properties, L.L.C., seeking the granting of a Certificate of Appropriateness for the
installation of new signage to be located on the front façade. We are also proposing to replace and relocate
the Front Entrance to the Store with a new door. Existing windows are to remain with frames to be painted
Black, and the area around the new signage to be painted Gray, to match other exteriors in the area.
The proposed work will NOT have a negative impact on the character of the neighborhood. To the contrary,
the proposed work will enhance not only the property, but contribute to the improvement of the area, and
will compliment those establishments with similar existing signage in the area.
Your time this evening is very much appreciated. Please accept our thanks in advance for your consideration
and anticipated approval. As always, should you or the Board Members have any additional questions or
comments, please feel free to contact our office at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Jorge B. Hernandez, R. A.
President

00:24:01.980 --> 00:24:07.220
Planning Dept.: Yeah, okay, so if we didn't approve the backlit sign, you want one, though, for cultures.

44
00:24:39.210 --> 00:24:43.420
Planning Dept.: Can you go back to the proposed front elevation?
45
00:24:43.570 --> 00:24:44.790
Planning Dept.: Sure, can.
46
00:24:46.660 --> 00:24:51.029
Planning Dept.: Yeah. Right? There. Okay, so that's basically the scope we're talking about. Yes.
47
00:24:51.070 --> 00:24:51.940
Planning Dept.: and
48
00:24:54.730 --> 00:25:00.640
Planning Dept.: alright. So this just I'm relatively new. So this board previously approved.
49
00:25:01.670 --> 00:25:07.380
Planning Dept.: omitting the recess and that particular door style and door front.
50
00:25:08.140 --> 00:25:17.789
Planning Dept.: Yeah, they originally wanted more. Michael. Then you see the Ko originally that whole door was gonna
be, as I recall, filled up with an a logo.
51
00:25:17.880 --> 00:25:35.049
Page 21 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
Planning Dept.: and then they were gonna have a logo between the 2 upper windows, as I recall, and that was turned
down. So that's where we got, and the left side of the project where the culture is was not really ever part of any
submission. I, as I recall.
52
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:42.759
Planning Dept.: No, no, so so this is, I mean, as far as I'm concerned, it's just like the starting over again. Here it is.
53
00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:51.619
Planning Dept.: you know. It's a dark Gray. Is that pretty faithful Jamie to what it's gonna be that color gray?
54
00:25:52.060 --> 00:25:53.548
Planning Dept.: It's all right. And
55
00:25:54.220 --> 00:26:01.659
Planning Dept.: there's it's all. And none of this contrast, you know sort of like brackets in the in the sign banner, or
whatever you want to call them.
56
00:26:01.720 --> 00:26:05.639
Planning Dept.: That's gonna be the same color as the band, right? Or is that right?
57
00:26:05.990 --> 00:26:10.990
Planning Dept.: In other words, the brackets, that vertical brackets in the sign band.
58
00:26:11.830 --> 00:26:18.330
Planning Dept.: That's yeah. Yeah. So they'll be contrasting. They'll be white.
59
00:26:18.370 --> 00:26:20.919
Planning Dept.: and the band will be great bye.
60
00:26:24.324 --> 00:26:31.750
Planning Dept.: Yes, okay, for the quarters.
61
00:26:32.340 --> 00:26:52.890
Planning Dept.: No worries. Maybe. You know, you've got a new member in the making here. All right. So I I don't
have any questions, and I'll certainly open to hearing any comments from the board. Quick question. So is it going to
remain as recess, front door and all that, or is it going to go back to the
62
00:26:53.320 --> 00:26:57.420
Planning Dept.: flush flush? Oh, it's staying flush! Yes, yes.
63
00:26:58.270 --> 00:27:04.650
Planning Dept.: so it's not gonna be a step back into as it is currently no, okay. So it is gonna come from. Yes, got it.
Page 22 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
64
00:27:05.370 --> 00:27:16.769
Planning Dept.: I'm sorry. Yeah. I thought you were asking me, Jason, if we change it from the original, could we make
it a note in the Cfo. That you know, or see if they knew that there's no change to Prior approved.
65
00:27:17.578 --> 00:27:20.169
Planning Dept.: or Kd entry short
66
00:27:21.370 --> 00:27:24.049
Planning Dept.: other than the color of the PIN.
67
00:27:24.810 --> 00:27:33.690
Planning Dept.: I have a question about the paint, so you're suggesting, just a flat gray for the entire.
68
00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:49.849
Planning Dept.: So none of the detail, the architectural detail will be, yeah, let's see, those are yeah. Some of them are
damaged, or that one's damaged.
69
00:27:50.481 --> 00:28:08.239
Planning Dept.: I don't even know what they are. Are they really original? And what is the top of the building painted
like right now? Because I know it's just a brick red. It looks yeah, where the deep, the architectural detail at the top.
What does that look like you mean up here? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. Actually, I never thought to ask.
70
00:28:08.750 --> 00:28:10.409
Planning Dept.: Try to do a street view. Yeah.
71
00:28:14.026 --> 00:28:17.380
Planning Dept.: something to.
72
00:28:18.210 --> 00:28:24.780
Planning Dept.: Were you gonna remove those dentals and I'll call them dentals for lack of a better word. Brackets?
73
00:28:25.573 --> 00:28:28.559
Planning Dept.: What are they? Do you know? Are they?
74
00:28:29.026 --> 00:28:34.220
Planning Dept.: Were they some kind of original decoration, because some of them are damaged or missing.
75
00:28:34.520 --> 00:28:46.929
Planning Dept.: Oh, there it is! No. Where is it? Okay? Think that painting it
76
Page 23 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
00:28:47.130 --> 00:28:50.839
Planning Dept.: black Gray would be a real, especially only half of it.
77
00:28:51.190 --> 00:28:53.469
Planning Dept.: Yeah, I think it has to stay.
78
00:28:53.540 --> 00:29:04.359
Planning Dept.: Do they own the entire building? Wait a minute. No, it's this, and then this stays the way it is. Is this
owned by the same owner.
79
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:10.270
Planning Dept.: Well, that's a very good point, Catherine. It would end up now being bijulicating.
80
00:29:10.320 --> 00:29:13.310
Planning Dept.: Yeah, I have the same issue with entry door.
81
00:29:15.650 --> 00:29:22.139
Planning Dept.: Well, the entry door here we approved.
82
00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:31.759
Planning Dept.: All you talking about that one? No, the one where it says for rent. Oh, yeah, you can't really see it
because the grates down. But if you look at the
83
00:29:31.780 --> 00:29:35.940
Planning Dept.: door on the right, which I didn't even realize was part of the old building.
84
00:29:36.870 --> 00:29:40.369
Planning Dept.: changing the whole facade and getting rid of the recess.
85
00:29:40.560 --> 00:29:43.667
Planning Dept.: The one on the left hand side is a lot deeper.
86
00:29:44.170 --> 00:29:45.390
Planning Dept.: but
87
00:29:45.560 --> 00:29:50.980
Planning Dept.: there is symmetry there that happens with the recess and just the rhythm of
88
00:29:51.310 --> 00:29:52.490
Planning Dept.: the windows.
89
Page 24 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
00:29:53.350 --> 00:30:06.139
Planning Dept.: No, it's a very good point. I'm glad it got brought up we'd be by. We'd be changing the basic appearance
of the building if we gave you a different color, because now it reads as one bill, if you could zoom out so we could see
the whole building again.
90
00:30:06.410 --> 00:30:12.109
Planning Dept.: It's 1 it reads as one building, and yet, if we do what you're proposing, it won't.
91
00:30:13.700 --> 00:30:20.170
Planning Dept.: so we will maintain the we'll propose to the client, we should discuss another. We will maintain the
weight.
92
00:30:20.230 --> 00:30:33.690
Planning Dept.: So basically repairing this and repainting it. That's 2 different people who have to undergo that expense.
It's 2 different buildings. Huh? That's interesting. It's like a condo. It's like a big condo.
93
00:30:34.150 --> 00:30:41.739
Planning Dept.: Alright. So, Catherine, that's a good point. So should we say, see, these are all monochromatic. They
don't contrast. If you go down
94
00:30:42.060 --> 00:30:48.960
Planning Dept.: they're contrasting. So I guess you could say the precedent was they were just part of the same color
95
00:30:49.130 --> 00:30:55.770
Planning Dept.: as the cornice as the sign bandages is up atop. See? The this is seems like it was more of a
96
00:30:57.010 --> 00:31:04.169
Planning Dept.: non original intervention. Then, if you go up to the top, if you look between the right and the left
storefronts.
97
00:31:04.570 --> 00:31:10.620
Planning Dept.: the storefront on the right has got that gray that matches the the dentals for lack of a better word, but the
98
00:31:11.450 --> 00:31:17.059
Planning Dept.: the pedestrian band. Then you get the light blue on the left hand side, which changes
99
00:31:17.200 --> 00:31:32.409
Planning Dept.: demarcuting the different different storefronts. But then the overall up top is white. So at some point it
was painted. What the original color is, who knows? Well, it was, you know, up here, 1858. I'm just saying I'm
assuming that this maybe is more
100
00:31:32.600 --> 00:31:43.280
Planning Dept.: original than down below at the sign bandials at the bottom of the brackets. Those are a dark ray, too.
Page 25 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
101
00:31:43.940 --> 00:31:44.825
Planning Dept.: Well.
102
00:31:45.760 --> 00:31:48.667
Planning Dept.: I I don't think that's so critical for the
103
00:31:49.110 --> 00:32:02.889
Planning Dept.: The applicant, if it resorts, reverts back to the color that exists. Well, if we make the gray dent, if we
make it what we call the dentals, which are these square
104
00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:08.420
Planning Dept.: things, one of which is they're not really dentals, but I don't know what else to call them at the moment.
105
00:32:08.890 --> 00:32:19.460
Planning Dept.: If we did anything to make them all monochromatic, then this half would not be this half so I guess,
consistent with that. This would remain black and this color.
106
00:32:19.912 --> 00:32:26.970
Planning Dept.: There wasn't that part of jeez. We gotta look at the old application because it seems this seems like deja
vu all over again.
107
00:32:27.100 --> 00:32:33.887
Planning Dept.: I think we as far as the color goes. I thought we
108
00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:35.820
Planning Dept.: huh!
109
00:32:36.210 --> 00:32:43.770
Planning Dept.: Alright, maybe that didn't get addressed. Well, yeah. But when we look at the the building elevation it's
always been the one section, not
110
00:32:43.790 --> 00:32:53.540
Planning Dept.: realizing that it's yeah, yeah, no, it's a good point that brought up. It's a very good point. Okay? Well, so
then, if this gets colored
111
00:32:53.780 --> 00:33:04.519
Planning Dept.: light gray, then this all this stuff would be the same as well, I presume, if you go back to the to the
existing view. Yeah, everything is the same.
112
00:33:04.780 --> 00:33:07.000
Planning Dept.: You know this trim.
Page 26 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
113
00:33:07.050 --> 00:33:11.880
Planning Dept.: that gray do. Those are those like still there? And are they gonna remain.
114
00:33:12.530 --> 00:33:17.129
Planning Dept.: these lights? Oh, I so I assume. Are they remaining? They're remaining right.
115
00:33:17.510 --> 00:33:22.620
Planning Dept.: Yeah, I don't think we don't think it didn't look like it. Oh.
116
00:33:22.780 --> 00:33:25.360
Planning Dept.: are you you taking them down?
117
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:28.140
Planning Dept.: No, I think there was some information on there.
118
00:33:28.150 --> 00:33:33.729
Planning Dept.: We're not touching those lights. Alright. So you'd make a note that the lights remain and get
refurbished.
119
00:33:34.550 --> 00:33:37.720
Planning Dept.: And so it's just to recapture. So we are.
120
00:33:37.870 --> 00:33:39.670
Planning Dept.: I'm keeping the
121
00:33:40.090 --> 00:33:43.559
Planning Dept.: the accent, the dentals dark.
122
00:33:43.670 --> 00:33:51.580
Planning Dept.: We keep in the background. Why, it's too much next door and keep it there right? Maybe, unless you
can convince the next door neighbor if they want to paint their facade, too.
123
00:33:52.199 --> 00:34:01.189
Planning Dept.: Yeah. But it's gonna look kind of weird. I have kind of a similar question about the transcending,
though that's that way. So like
124
00:34:01.710 --> 00:34:03.720
Planning Dept.: the store next door.
125
00:34:03.800 --> 00:34:08.939
Page 27 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
Planning Dept.: clearly like that whole storefront was replaced. And there's like a consistency
126
00:34:08.980 --> 00:34:11.789
Planning Dept.: to the windows and transoms there
127
00:34:12.130 --> 00:34:13.230
Planning Dept.: and then
128
00:34:13.409 --> 00:34:19.789
Planning Dept.: the left. So there's the same thing with that arch and keystone on every one of the window bays.
129
00:34:20.050 --> 00:34:25.009
Planning Dept.: and it goes back into that recess and is on the door in the recess. But,
130
00:34:25.449 --> 00:34:29.279
Planning Dept.: David, might you propose? We just have a clear transom
131
00:34:29.620 --> 00:34:30.560
Planning Dept.: which
132
00:34:32.250 --> 00:34:34.979
Planning Dept.: I don't know. I just think you kind of lose the rhythm.
133
00:34:35.199 --> 00:34:45.059
Planning Dept.: I'm not sure I followed you, Michael. What would you change when you're saying that you get those 3
arches at the top.
134
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.826
Planning Dept.: and now you know the arches are but the door, the door loses it.
135
00:34:50.590 --> 00:34:53.380
Planning Dept.: Well, I just that's it. I'm just not sure whether
136
00:34:54.193 --> 00:35:05.869
Planning Dept.: it can do what you're talking about it. It can. It can say anything it wants and make any decision so long
as it's within our mandate. What was our intent to try to
137
00:35:06.530 --> 00:35:26.519
Planning Dept.: some of the architectural integrity that was there, or well, that's what we're supposed to be doing, and
any changes that are necessary. We have to also be careful, because if we bring that out more, then next door, they
already have taken that detail out if you next door the the salon.
Page 28 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
138
00:35:26.560 --> 00:35:34.270
Planning Dept.: Yeah, like the arches are all yeah, the arches, or they were never there. And they were added in on the
left. Who knows what was historic?
139
00:35:34.990 --> 00:35:41.089
Planning Dept.: I I for that reason, I guess the arched issue isn't so important to me, anyways, because it's so different.
140
00:35:41.320 --> 00:35:48.100
Planning Dept.: and it exists now as an arch to tell you to take it out when you know who knows whether it was original
or not.
141
00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:54.370
Planning Dept.: But I think, in my own opinion, that's look at, Catherine said. Look at it again. As a whole building is
very important, and
142
00:35:54.410 --> 00:35:58.720
Planning Dept.: the paint color the paint scheme should match what's on the other side
143
00:35:58.830 --> 00:36:02.480
Planning Dept.: with contrasting dental colors, keeping the lights.
144
00:36:02.730 --> 00:36:12.280
Planning Dept.: And hopefully, you know, maybe when you go to paint this, the sign band, somebody will paint the
entire cordon. You know the entablature up there.
145
00:36:12.660 --> 00:36:14.000
Planning Dept.: You're gonna do that
146
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:18.609
Planning Dept.: is that in your no one knows is that it? I don't know that?
147
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:20.570
Planning Dept.: Who can actually
148
00:36:21.010 --> 00:36:23.239
Planning Dept.: so could you go back to the drawing? I
149
00:36:23.970 --> 00:36:24.680
Planning Dept.: the
150
00:36:25.390 --> 00:36:28.039
Page 29 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
Planning Dept.: so! The new
151
00:36:28.230 --> 00:36:35.469
Planning Dept.: door is flush with the windows.
152
00:36:36.350 --> 00:36:44.250
Planning Dept.: demolish that sort of corridor to the in those walls. Okay, you go to the plan. That's the best way to
answer it. I think
153
00:36:45.840 --> 00:36:52.480
Planning Dept.: there is a plan. Right? That's what I hear. Yeah, there, there's things.
154
00:36:57.800 --> 00:37:06.709
Planning Dept.: There you go. There's the existing. There's the new one. Yeah, that's good. I wonder if those windows
are original, just based on
155
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:10.609
Planning Dept.: how long that store was there in the second floor.
156
00:37:10.750 --> 00:37:13.750
Planning Dept.: And when the salon did updates and all that.
157
00:37:14.310 --> 00:37:20.039
Planning Dept.: well, they'd have to be research, I I imagine, and then it would still look different than
158
00:37:20.670 --> 00:37:24.500
Planning Dept.: we'll go to the plan. That's what we why, we're there, please.
159
00:37:24.790 --> 00:37:27.799
Planning Dept.: They'll answer a big question about recess.
160
00:37:29.320 --> 00:37:36.270
Planning Dept.: Yeah. So we are. Yeah, it's that existing versus proposed. Yeah, that's the the red showing what we're in
the margin.
161
00:37:36.370 --> 00:37:38.102
Planning Dept.: So right now,
162
00:37:39.470 --> 00:37:45.210
Planning Dept.: yeah, there's not gonna be a store internal storefront, right?
163
Page 30 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:51.493
Planning Dept.: And so that arch is that arch right now above the door that's being demolished? Or is it in line with the.
164
00:37:52.010 --> 00:37:56.619
Planning Dept.: So it's in line with the recess. So we're not gonna deal with it. Anyway.
165
00:37:58.050 --> 00:37:59.290
Planning Dept.: it's gonna be gone.
166
00:38:01.560 --> 00:38:06.310
Planning Dept.: and any everything. If you can see those double doors. That's not part of our purview.
167
00:38:06.930 --> 00:38:09.020
Planning Dept.: It's really what's on the street.
168
00:38:10.210 --> 00:38:17.460
Planning Dept.: Yeah, everything on the side is significant change to the architecture of that very old building.
169
00:38:21.140 --> 00:38:33.030
Planning Dept.: I mean, we're keeping the okay. Would you say you'd want to see a recess? Tremendous amount of area
to inside? So you know.
170
00:38:34.340 --> 00:38:42.579
Planning Dept.: Well, of course, problematically, objectively. You know this, those storefront areas, the shop windows
that they had had a different tenant.
171
00:38:42.750 --> 00:38:50.679
Planning Dept.: We presumably have no benefit from the for the new. It's gonna be a restaurant this year.
172
00:38:51.140 --> 00:38:56.400
Planning Dept.: Yeah. But I understand what you're saying. I'm just thinking from
173
00:38:56.790 --> 00:38:59.070
Planning Dept.: architecturally.
174
00:38:59.520 --> 00:39:05.780
Planning Dept.: Well, I think that you know, changing the making the colors uniform to neighbors. Very good point.
175
00:39:05.890 --> 00:39:08.026
Planning Dept.: That will help. And
176
Page 31 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
00:39:11.190 --> 00:39:16.880
Planning Dept.: keeping the lights which are not indicated. That's something needs to be indicated.
177
00:39:19.360 --> 00:39:23.819
Planning Dept.: do we? I feel we're ready to vote on it now, or we want to have more discussion on it.
178
00:39:24.370 --> 00:39:28.199
Planning Dept.: Is there anyone who has new, like new comments about this.
179
00:39:28.790 --> 00:39:31.979
Planning Dept.: Wants to, you know. Have it revised, or
180
00:39:33.730 --> 00:39:35.460
Planning Dept.: ready to go in it now
181
00:39:37.170 --> 00:39:48.899
Planning Dept.: I'll wait to hear a motion. We wait for a motion. Right? I mean, what? What's the is there a spec for the
door? The new door? It's just an aluminum door with black.
182
00:39:49.340 --> 00:39:59.399
Planning Dept.: Is that. What's in the salon? Similar? Something like that? Yeah, like, there's no there's no kick plate on
the side lights like it.
183
00:39:59.510 --> 00:40:03.409
Planning Dept.: I feel like there's a few little subtle changes that can make.
184
00:40:03.480 --> 00:40:06.849
Planning Dept.: Oh, I see your point. Yeah. There's no panel below the storefront.
185
00:40:07.230 --> 00:40:12.770
Planning Dept.: hey? Can we go back to the full view of the building, Maddie, of the whole building.
186
00:40:12.860 --> 00:40:23.540
Planning Dept.: Yeah, yeah, there you go. So it always has. That's a good point, too. It always has a panel below the sill.
If you submit on the door next door, I think it has
187
00:40:23.630 --> 00:40:29.759
Planning Dept.: next door left next row, right.
188
00:40:30.500 --> 00:40:31.929
Planning Dept.: There is no.
Page 32 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
189
00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:36.040
Planning Dept.: you know. We are keeping the same in the front.
190
00:40:36.050 --> 00:40:37.579
Planning Dept.: and then the door.
191
00:40:38.210 --> 00:40:40.509
Planning Dept.: When were you planning to open? By the way.
192
00:40:42.510 --> 00:40:44.115
Planning Dept.: tomorrow?
193
00:40:46.140 --> 00:41:04.619
Planning Dept.: Why did you do all the work already? Something else, and it's a long lead item to order the window. But
anyway so there! Now, if you move to the left of the building, Matt, if you wouldn't mind walk to the building in
question. Yeah. So there are the panels under the sill
194
00:41:04.710 --> 00:41:13.340
Planning Dept.: that would now be taken out. Are you sure I thought it was the windows coming. Oh, they are there.
Okay, yeah.
195
00:41:13.430 --> 00:41:27.539
Planning Dept.: He's talking about the silent when we get rid of the recess front. Then when that door moves forward.
The sidelights that are now even on the side are now just floor, full light glass floor to ceiling.
196
00:41:27.730 --> 00:41:28.730
Planning Dept.: It's start.
197
00:41:29.030 --> 00:41:30.300
Planning Dept.: you know we can.
198
00:41:30.350 --> 00:41:31.990
Planning Dept.: Who does run more on that
199
00:41:32.140 --> 00:41:35.360
Planning Dept.: I think I have. I have a feeling
200
00:41:35.748 --> 00:41:40.149
Planning Dept.: if we had a new drawing it would be easier to approve it.
201
00:41:40.190 --> 00:41:49.719
Page 33 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
Planning Dept.: based on the comments we have. If we write everything down now it it I'm still not sure we catch it all,
or we give you clear instruction.
202
00:41:50.020 --> 00:41:56.709
Planning Dept.: Like to see photographs of the existing not with, you know, not just photographs of existing door.
203
00:41:56.950 --> 00:42:19.820
Planning Dept.: You know the door to the store, not through the metal grate, because I'm just curious. I've been in there,
but I certainly don't remember if they have those details, or if they had replaced it, that door in the seventies or
something. Who knows? It looks fairly original, too. It's significantly deeper than the yeah. And I just wonder if it has
any of that
204
00:42:19.820 --> 00:42:30.040
Planning Dept.: trim work any of that original detail. Yeah, you can see that on the up here on the side, going down,
there's an arch going in towards back of the door.
205
00:42:30.040 --> 00:42:38.549
Planning Dept.: There's the door in the back, and I'm assuming it's all symmetrical.
206
00:42:41.120 --> 00:42:50.080
Planning Dept.: Alright. So it sounds like we're gonna ask for a drawing that illustrates the comments and the solution
we talked about.
207
00:42:50.150 --> 00:42:59.069
Planning Dept.: And I'm I imagine, or I believe right now we've decided number One. The drawing should reflect lights
that stay
208
00:42:59.470 --> 00:43:04.539
Planning Dept.: the drawing should reflect the color scheme that exists now in shine salon.
209
00:43:05.127 --> 00:43:08.499
Planning Dept.: It's close. I guess it's an old pink color. But
210
00:43:08.993 --> 00:43:17.930
Planning Dept.: I'm not sure. I mean, it's gonna be some difference, because you can't mention exactly, because that's
the other thing. Can't mention exactly, because that pink
211
00:43:18.080 --> 00:43:34.430
Planning Dept.: where shine salon is is probably very old, and I'm not sure what color we we won't. You know what
color we asking for? You get a sample of the shine salon sign band background paint, and that's the color we paint
212
00:43:35.100 --> 00:43:36.370
Planning Dept.: your part.
Page 34 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
213
00:43:36.870 --> 00:43:39.189
Planning Dept.: And I guess it'll be a little different.
214
00:43:39.330 --> 00:43:45.589
Planning Dept.: But be a significant difference, because the brackets are, gonna break it up.
215
00:43:46.147 --> 00:43:53.629
Planning Dept.: And I think another thing to add is to the drawing is, you gotta show the building in its in its whole, in
its context. Not just
216
00:43:54.030 --> 00:44:02.246
Planning Dept.: yeah. That's that's a very good point. At 1st glance, you know. You forget that the whole thing one
billing. That's why it was great. Catherine mentioned that. And
217
00:44:02.890 --> 00:44:03.810
Planning Dept.: so
218
00:44:04.010 --> 00:44:06.499
Planning Dept.: are we. Are we saying that we would.
219
00:44:07.388 --> 00:44:12.400
Planning Dept.: I'm gathering comments right now, feedback. So one would be lights to be kept.
220
00:44:14.610 --> 00:44:16.470
Planning Dept.: Let's get this resolved
221
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:19.210
Planning Dept.: 2 is paint
222
00:44:20.490 --> 00:44:25.589
Planning Dept.: for Jake, for that's the eastern section, eastern half
223
00:44:29.750 --> 00:44:31.010
Planning Dept.: a building.
224
00:44:34.630 --> 00:44:37.010
Planning Dept.: The other thing we said was that
225
00:44:37.700 --> 00:44:49.340
Planning Dept.: the store for? We want a new study for the flush entry door to have transom panels that have a lower
Page 35 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
kick panel. Is that what we said.
226
00:44:49.370 --> 00:44:52.019
Planning Dept.: Yeah, so new entry
227
00:44:54.740 --> 00:45:09.400
Planning Dept.: with kick, I will just say to to match adjacent with with well, with new entry, with kick, panel on,
actually on doors and side lights. Yeah, on door and side lights
228
00:45:14.920 --> 00:45:22.969
Planning Dept.: there any other substantial I would say, provide details of doors and side lights at the
229
00:45:23.700 --> 00:45:30.610
Planning Dept.: well let their heart to their eyes. There's something didn't you do something? I think, Jamie? Well, I
mean, I think the architectural drawings is
230
00:45:30.650 --> 00:45:35.650
Planning Dept.: show the details of how that's all going back together with, you know, the trim and everything else on
the side
231
00:45:36.080 --> 00:46:01.709
Planning Dept.: you're replacing the windows. So see the detail of the new replacement. Oh, side the windows on the
side. Now they go into the frame. I I have. I'm sorry to interrupt Jason, but getting back to the door and side lights.
You'll see the door as he's proposing it in black, which would now be. We're saying it'll all be gray right. Everything
will be gray. The way the Kokd door is, is that what we're saying, or
232
00:46:01.720 --> 00:46:03.090
Planning Dept.: it's being done?
233
00:46:03.460 --> 00:46:11.370
Planning Dept.: What are we saying? We're not saying anything about it. Well, let's, I guess we have to resolve this
because
234
00:46:12.430 --> 00:46:13.360
Planning Dept.: I mean
235
00:46:13.560 --> 00:46:24.269
Planning Dept.: a spec of the door that's going to be used. Yeah. And and a detail of that where the new door joins the
existing facade.
236
00:46:24.320 --> 00:46:32.349
Planning Dept.: Alright, certainly that has to be done anyways, when you build it. So that's a good point. The door itself,
though whether it's black or green or purple.
Page 36 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
237
00:46:32.460 --> 00:46:38.690
Planning Dept.: is essentially the same style as the Ko is that Ko or Kd door?
238
00:46:39.342 --> 00:46:49.730
Planning Dept.: It doesn't really have, you know any kind of a style and rail panel to it? Yeah, Michael, your point was
the sidelight. Yeah.
239
00:46:49.910 --> 00:46:50.715
Planning Dept.: and
240
00:46:52.100 --> 00:46:56.960
Planning Dept.: so the side light will have panels, but not the door.
241
00:46:57.670 --> 00:47:04.880
Planning Dept.: Look, kick, panel, and I'm getting still back to the color. So if everything changes to the color, is that
door black.
242
00:47:05.050 --> 00:47:29.819
Planning Dept.: or is, it depends on how their color scheme is going to go. Yes. Well, no, I'm saying it depends. You're
gonna have to come back. So I think it's up to the the owner and the architect to sort of. Well, no, I'm just. I'm
suggesting something else. We're here to make an approval and tell them what we, what we think is appropriate. So is it
okay to have a contrasting black door and sidelight that's flush with the facade
243
00:47:30.160 --> 00:47:39.470
Planning Dept.: as opposed to keeping it consistent with the color we approve, or actually the Ko the Kd door. Can you
go back to the picture? This?
244
00:47:39.910 --> 00:47:42.090
Planning Dept.: I think that's an existing wood door. Right?
245
00:47:42.390 --> 00:47:43.400
Planning Dept.: And
246
00:47:43.510 --> 00:47:47.989
Planning Dept.: yeah, that's so, alright. So basically.
247
00:47:49.320 --> 00:47:50.220
Planning Dept.: yeah.
248
00:47:50.580 --> 00:48:06.769
Planning Dept.: this this thing gets back to the color. I thought we had approved a color scheme in your prior approval,
Page 37 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
and maybe what we have to do is just revisit that application and not reinvent the wheel. Whatever we approve, we have
to stand by, and I believe we had color in there for everything.
249
00:48:07.672 --> 00:48:08.697
Planning Dept.: Is it?
250
00:48:09.500 --> 00:48:13.070
Planning Dept.: We do think? Then we, I think.
251
00:48:13.675 --> 00:48:21.700
Planning Dept.: have my old. We have the old agenda here. Is there a way to quickly look that way?
252
00:48:21.780 --> 00:48:23.480
Planning Dept.: It wasn't in May
253
00:48:24.760 --> 00:48:41.500
Planning Dept.: I can show what was in the application packet. I don't have the certificate of appropriateness. May 9.th
There's May 9, th right? So here's the meeting. Agenda. Hold second. 11, 2 0 2, 4,
254
00:48:42.270 --> 00:48:44.329
Planning Dept.: 59 right here.
255
00:48:44.490 --> 00:48:45.460
Planning Dept.: Very good.
256
00:48:45.580 --> 00:48:59.560
Planning Dept.: Alright. So what did we? What did we have done that we approved? Is there a certificate of
appropriate? Well, that I mean, that's what I'm saying. I can show you what was in the application packet. I don't have
ready access to this. So it looked like it was. They were just moving everything forward.
257
00:48:59.700 --> 00:49:02.410
Planning Dept.: I think the color scheme is remaining
258
00:49:03.540 --> 00:49:09.520
Planning Dept.: didn't sound like, didn't we? What we should? What I'm saying is, do we have a C of A on that
259
00:49:09.700 --> 00:49:22.069
Planning Dept.: project? What I'm saying is, one exists. I can't access. So what we certainly, if we have a C of a
certainly, then the applicant has it so. I think long story short, is obviously.
260
00:49:22.540 --> 00:49:31.340
Planning Dept.: you know, we don't want it to look like 2 separate buildings. In other words, the other owners building
Page 38 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
in your building at the street level, just because that's not the way it looks up above.
261
00:49:31.630 --> 00:49:38.359
Planning Dept.: There was a C of A that was issued. We don't. I don't think we're here to reinvent the wheel, whatever
we approve for you, we should stand by.
262
00:49:38.510 --> 00:49:44.880
Planning Dept.: So come back. And with that Cma in mind which may, I think, did address colors.
263
00:49:45.454 --> 00:49:50.069
Planning Dept.: You know. Let's see, you know what, how you merge the 2,
264
00:49:50.640 --> 00:49:54.909
Planning Dept.: you know. Take what was approved, and merge with what you want to do now
265
00:49:56.271 --> 00:49:58.579
Planning Dept.: think that's my my only
266
00:49:58.870 --> 00:50:01.950
Planning Dept.: having them matching the colors. I think
267
00:50:03.170 --> 00:50:05.340
Planning Dept.: they can be similar colors, but
268
00:50:05.650 --> 00:50:07.870
Planning Dept.: it'd be hard to match
269
00:50:08.500 --> 00:50:21.109
Planning Dept.: an existing color. We don't know, because then we're gonna be playing catch. Because what happened?
I think that's what I was saying. It's an old white color, great color. I don't know what it is exactly, and it's a shame that
270
00:50:21.220 --> 00:50:27.449
Planning Dept.: the whole thing's not being done across the whole building. So I see your point, and that's something I
was raising, too.
271
00:50:27.910 --> 00:50:38.750
Planning Dept.: I think we address colors in the C of A, and you know I never thought to look it up before tonight's
meeting and I guess nobody else did either. So
272
00:50:40.190 --> 00:50:46.169
Planning Dept.: I would say, that's the best way to proceed, because, you know, we issue if we issued a C of a whatever
we did.
Page 39 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
273
00:50:46.470 --> 00:50:54.059
Planning Dept.: That's what we did, and that's a guide, guideline, for you know how to treat the rest of the building.
Obviously.
274
00:50:54.070 --> 00:50:59.920
Planning Dept.: I think you're on notice, generally speaking, that we don't want it to be distinctively one half a building.
275
00:51:00.020 --> 00:51:03.640
Planning Dept.: and leave it to you to come back with us.
276
00:51:04.930 --> 00:51:12.760
Planning Dept.: Does that make sense as the way to adjourn it? And along with details of the doors and the side lights?
Is there anything else
277
00:51:15.240 --> 00:51:18.269
Planning Dept.: I'm just reading. These are the minutes from me.
278
00:51:18.570 --> 00:51:22.020
Planning Dept.: April meeting where this property was discussed.
279
00:51:22.907 --> 00:51:26.610
Planning Dept.: Everyone see that having zoom
280
00:51:26.660 --> 00:51:27.830
Planning Dept.: issues here.
281
00:51:29.720 --> 00:51:36.609
Planning Dept.: there's 4 space would be an eating establishment. Picado. One sign identified a second circular sign be
affixed in the building.
282
00:51:36.670 --> 00:51:50.910
Planning Dept.: which members asked how to sign at the front address would be backlighted. How far out the letters
would protrude, he would have requested information from the main meeting. Questions were also asked about the front
door to the establishment single be 2 doors and about the doors finish
283
00:51:51.209 --> 00:52:08.559
Planning Dept.: samples would be available at the May meeting. Agreed to adjourn. So maybe you don't have a
certificate, because I don't see it in the May in the minutes from the May meeting that this was closed out. Yeah,
because I think I kind of recall. We wanted to see some of the details of all that. Yes.
284
00:52:09.190 --> 00:52:12.390
Page 40 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
Planning Dept.: alright. So I was wrong about a C of A so
285
00:52:13.281 --> 00:52:19.059
Planning Dept.: there we have it. It's we're just catching up down some unresolved issues that never came back again.
286
00:52:24.280 --> 00:52:40.569
Planning Dept.: yeah, cause now looking at it with you know, fresh eyes and looking at it from a hole, looking at a
restrictive. You're like, Oh, wait a minute, because I remember because I thought we're just looking at the side. I think
that the sign became a big part of our discussion. Yeah, yeah. So the K and D element got approved. But this element
287
00:52:40.770 --> 00:52:46.730
Planning Dept.: kind of was left open. Yeah, yes. But where did we? If we approved, it would have been a Cna for that.
288
00:52:46.770 --> 00:53:16.269
Planning Dept.: for the Kd. Side, which I think was in like December, right? I mean. So there was a C of a issue,
because, yeah, because when he came back, Kd, there on the wall right now, he had brought up the fact that the Kd.
Sign was backlit and forgot to talk about that at the meeting I so I remember all of that and I'm pretty confident that after
a couple runs the the K. And D elements all eventually got approved, and you should have a Cma for that.
Unfortunately, Stewart's not here, and he might be helpful in this instance.
289
00:53:16.290 --> 00:53:20.870
Planning Dept.: No, no, no, it's no
290
00:53:21.511 --> 00:53:24.570
Planning Dept.: think that was the solution.
291
00:53:25.940 --> 00:53:30.710
Planning Dept.: Alright. So the applicant can get the C of a obviously
292
00:53:30.830 --> 00:53:38.639
Planning Dept.: and we'll we'll be in touch about. We'll incorporate that. But just to recap, I think it sounds like the
consensus is
293
00:53:39.232 --> 00:53:48.670
Planning Dept.: that the drawing will reflect the existing lights to be kept, and re. I would hope, maybe refurbished if
they're not in good shape, but repainted.
294
00:53:48.680 --> 00:53:50.260
Planning Dept.: The paint.
295
00:53:50.530 --> 00:54:05.540
Planning Dept.: we say paint per Eastern half of building. So maybe, then that is something that we never really did
address, you know, before. And now the question is, do we go back to what the applicant now shows, which is a
Page 41 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
contrasting color
296
00:54:06.300 --> 00:54:08.259
Planning Dept.: in the sign band
297
00:54:08.630 --> 00:54:13.030
Planning Dept.: and in the storefronts? Or do we try to.
298
00:54:13.100 --> 00:54:15.719
Planning Dept.: you know, match as best as possible
299
00:54:16.615 --> 00:54:17.460
Planning Dept.: everything.
300
00:54:17.520 --> 00:54:35.160
Planning Dept.: And as I was saying before, I think we know you put a new coat of paint, even if it gets close to that
existing color on the right. It's not going to be exact. No, I know. I mean, you're also. Then you have years of, you
know, grime and appreciate that fact. But you know, when I was here when I did my house
301
00:54:35.460 --> 00:54:37.060
Planning Dept.: 10 plus years ago.
302
00:54:37.110 --> 00:54:38.380
Planning Dept.: you know, I remember
303
00:54:38.440 --> 00:54:41.629
Planning Dept.: the original chair, and basically said, You know, I did a very simple
304
00:54:41.660 --> 00:54:54.769
Planning Dept.: elevations and plans and whatnot, and I got chat size for it to say, you know, you need to show a lot of
the detail that's on the existing building, which I think some of the existing drawing. The drawings presented thus far are
missing, which would provide a lot more
305
00:54:56.040 --> 00:55:03.009
Planning Dept.: but helpful information as far as the drawing goes, for us to weigh in on. You know, the color and the
and the paint scheme that's happening.
306
00:55:06.007 --> 00:55:09.562
Planning Dept.: think the challenge we're building here is
307
00:55:10.500 --> 00:55:12.389
Planning Dept.: is the insecting this.
Page 42 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
308
00:55:12.510 --> 00:55:34.509
Planning Dept.: It's 1 larger area. But it's when it 1st came through. I just I just remember I was like, Oh, yeah, it's that.
And then when we looked at them like, Oh, wait! It's the whole. It's a double y, not not just a single storefront like the
18, you know. Basically. Yeah, to to the point, is, it really would have been a better. I mean, it'd be easier to talk about it
right now if.
309
00:55:34.580 --> 00:55:51.679
Planning Dept.: of course, the entire building we're drawing. And we saw the contrast on paper between the proposed,
and the right that's existing, I mean, cause I mean, when you look at this here and you look at the photos, I mean, there's
a lot more detail going on here.
310
00:55:51.680 --> 00:56:10.050
Planning Dept.: Then if you go scroll up a bit, it's missing a lot of the details. So it's you're not seeing that it continues
this way, too. There's a lot more character in the building that's not expressed in the drawing that you see in the photo.
And we're sort of kind of. Think one of the Elizabeth
311
00:56:10.130 --> 00:56:14.790
Planning Dept.: repeating the element, the element to kind of separate the 2 buildings.
312
00:56:15.340 --> 00:56:41.460
Planning Dept.: Could you go back to existing street view, please, Maddie, I'm sorry to have to keep it. So you would
actually want to take over more than half with your new color. Yeah, the other thing I think you show on your drawing.
You have this detail here in the middle. I don't think it exists, does it? No, no, I think that at 1 point we were trying to
kind of separate. But basically, if we followed your drawing exactly, the wood gray color would be including this right?
313
00:56:41.550 --> 00:56:48.239
Planning Dept.: So now you'd have more than half of them, even if we wanted to bifurcate the building. It doesn't really
work very well, because
314
00:56:48.330 --> 00:56:50.549
Planning Dept.: this gives you more than half.
315
00:56:50.760 --> 00:57:06.600
Planning Dept.: You know. It just doesn't. If if I can, you go back to your proposed elevation, I think you were gonna
paint that right? Yeah, you're gonna paint that. So it doesn't really work to bifurcate it, you know, to split it in half hope.
The applicant can understand that. You know, look very strange.
316
00:57:06.620 --> 00:57:09.519
Planning Dept.: So we have to come up with something else.
317
00:57:10.870 --> 00:57:16.879
Planning Dept.: Look at it as a whole, and with the eye towards you. Know this is, you know, the tenant sign, and I get
that.
Page 43 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
318
00:57:17.390 --> 00:57:18.010
Planning Dept.: But
319
00:57:18.330 --> 00:57:22.890
Planning Dept.: you need a drawing of the whole building. Then, with the existing
320
00:57:23.040 --> 00:57:34.179
Planning Dept.: color scheme on the you know the neighbor's side that we can't talk to, and that band across the front,
that architectural detail and lights, and
321
00:57:34.520 --> 00:57:41.839
Planning Dept.: all that contrast, that trim work, that all has to be maintained, how it is, and it I mean.
322
00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:45.289
Planning Dept.: in my opinion, that can't, that
323
00:57:45.960 --> 00:57:54.480
Planning Dept.: if it's painted it has to be a light color like a white, and that contrast that exists now has to be
maintained.
324
00:57:56.310 --> 00:58:09.999
Planning Dept.: So the the right we have to give in fairness the applicant direction where the sign band, where the
culture is now, that would be approximately the best you can match to the existing right side of the building. Is that what
we're saying?
325
00:58:10.100 --> 00:58:13.499
Planning Dept.: And the everything else painted
326
00:58:13.540 --> 00:58:16.969
Planning Dept.: would match the color scheme on the right side, too.
327
00:58:17.050 --> 00:58:20.110
Planning Dept.: But there's no way to really make it half and half.
328
00:58:20.800 --> 00:58:28.160
Planning Dept.: Is that the direction we're giving? So the dark, because the the rest of that is painted, as you see here.
You've got dark
329
00:58:28.550 --> 00:58:53.799
Planning Dept.: dirt trim on either side of the of the brackets on here continues all the way down and across. I mean, it's
my my opinion might be worth a conversation with the people next door to say, Hey, we're redoing our side over here.

Agenda Item #B.
Would you guys be amenable or opposed, or whatever to refurbish or paint? I I don't wanna make more work and spend
more money, but it's it might be helpful for your case in terms of trying to get an overall.
330
00:58:54.450 --> 00:58:56.760
Planning Dept.: you know, right from the experience.
331
00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:59.369
Planning Dept.: Every time we try to do that kinda
332
00:58:59.490 --> 00:59:07.430
Planning Dept.: right. Remember that the next time they come to us they weren't very cooperative, all right.
333
00:59:08.490 --> 00:59:15.960
Planning Dept.: before we can even make any decision on anything. There has to be a drawing of the whole building all
the detail. And then.
334
00:59:16.080 --> 00:59:21.779
Planning Dept.: if the paint colors that you suggested aren't white and gray, but maybe they're
335
00:59:21.830 --> 00:59:39.030
Planning Dept.: something else. But that contrast is maintained so that the details still pops. I don't know. Maybe that
wouldn't look terrible, but it's really hard to to think about it when the drawing is so inaccurate for the facade like it
doesn't have these lights. And then like that, it looks like it's a
336
00:59:39.040 --> 00:59:44.410
Planning Dept.: you know that one detail inside it looks like it's the end of the building. So
337
00:59:44.530 --> 00:59:48.659
Planning Dept.: that would be, I think, super helpful. And then I think that could be a quick.
338
00:59:48.820 --> 00:59:51.429
Planning Dept.: The conversation once all that's there. Yeah.
339
00:59:51.660 --> 00:59:56.229
Planning Dept.: if we could actually are we offering them the opportunity to give us
340
00:59:56.380 --> 01:00:07.540
Planning Dept.: an option? Which is one. The sign ban is painted as approximately as it can. I think we're we're focusing
too much on the sign ban. I think it just well, if I may finish
341
01:00:07.690 --> 01:00:13.019
Planning Dept.: one option would be that the color that exists on the right half of the building, Jason, I mean.
Page 45 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
342
01:00:13.290 --> 01:00:20.989
Planning Dept.: whether it's the sign band or the panels below the sill, the style rail rail panels.
343
01:00:21.050 --> 01:00:26.740
Planning Dept.: or the vertical trim that exists that's maintained on the left side of the building.
344
01:00:26.920 --> 01:00:30.129
Planning Dept.: That would be, I would imagine a default
345
01:00:31.475 --> 01:00:32.590
Planning Dept.: decision.
346
01:00:32.670 --> 01:00:41.559
Planning Dept.: And then to Catherine's Point. If there's another way of doing it, you could present it, and that possibly,
if we see it
347
01:00:41.680 --> 01:00:45.689
Planning Dept.: with the other building next to it the other half. Then maybe we'll be swayed.
348
01:00:46.590 --> 01:00:53.380
Planning Dept.: I don't know if we've ever done that before, but I could see why. Not right?
349
01:00:53.510 --> 01:01:04.159
Planning Dept.: Because we want to get this, you know, we we certainly want the app to be able to come back in the
most efficient way possible, so we don't have to come back again. And maybe, you know, somebody can persuade the
other guy
350
01:01:04.240 --> 01:01:13.769
Planning Dept.: to, you know. Pay his half, too. But that's another matter of course. Alright. So then does that clarify it.
So we're gonna ask for
351
01:01:15.080 --> 01:01:23.730
Planning Dept.: The lights to be kept on the facade and refurbish if necessary. The paint for the eastern half of the
building is is the default.
352
01:01:25.318 --> 01:01:36.009
Planning Dept.: Proposition, if you want to call it that, and then there is an option for contrasting color, something new,
but if we see it with the rest of the building we could make a decision with you.
353
01:01:36.110 --> 01:01:45.080
Planning Dept.: and then the new entry will have kick panels on the side lights, and there'll be details of the door. Was
Page 46 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
there anything else we'd like them to do
354
01:01:45.720 --> 01:01:53.559
Planning Dept.: I think that covers it? But if somebody and yeah, I said the details. So if you got that manny, and did
you get that alright?
355
01:01:55.073 --> 01:02:08.219
Planning Dept.: So then we should adjourn this to the do we vote for that? A motion to adjourn to the November
meeting, I think, would be unfortunate. Do I hear a motion to adjourn this to the November meeting. Make a motion.
356
01:02:08.760 --> 01:02:10.770
Planning Dept.: It's Jason. Yes, in second
357
01:02:11.300 --> 01:02:20.120
Planning Dept.: alright. So motion is passed. So we're gonna adjourn it. And I'm sure it'll get resolved next month. All
right. Thank you.
358
01:02:29.750 --> 01:02:40.029
Planning Dept.: And I guess if you have a good evening. Thank you. And I look forward to going there. By the way,
what kind of this? What's it gonna be surveyed
359
01:02:44.810 --> 01:02:49.910
Planning Dept.: like a mix of like?
360
01:02:50.020 --> 01:02:54.050
Planning Dept.: Yes, they got American Spanish group. Oh, okay. Good.
361
01:02:54.260 --> 01:02:55.070
Planning Dept.: great.
362
01:02:56.870 --> 01:03:01.679
Planning Dept.: alright Steve. I guess we've been able to make it. So we're not gonna be able to hear about
363
01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:05.469
Planning Dept.: his research. And the only other thing I'd like to just bring up
364
01:03:05.560 --> 01:03:16.040
Planning Dept.: is, you may have already seen an email. We have plenty of time to talk about this from Joyce Cole.
Who was? It is our village historian. She was a member of Hpc.
365
01:03:16.180 --> 01:03:24.889
Planning Dept.: And she would like to make a presentation to us for her efforts to try to create a historic black district in
Page 47 of 49
Agenda Item #B.
Austin. We have
366
01:03:24.960 --> 01:03:29.429
Planning Dept.: a great deal of lineage in this community for them
367
01:03:29.779 --> 01:03:37.039
Planning Dept.: historical evidence of it. So I'd like to put it on the agenda for November. I could tell her she can.
368
01:03:37.170 --> 01:03:45.969
Planning Dept.: I don't. We don't know how many app, but we got one application at least. November, this one, and
hopefully that one took a half hour. Probably take a half an hour, and then.
369
01:03:45.980 --> 01:03:49.298
Planning Dept.: you know, Steve's, if we don't have enough time for Steve's
370
01:03:49.790 --> 01:04:01.550
Planning Dept.: historic research and November meeting. We can always, if Steve was flexible, we can always talk
about in December so ideally, then the agenda would be this application, plus any of others that would come up.
371
01:04:01.640 --> 01:04:05.249
Planning Dept.: I could invite Joyce to make a presentation to us.
372
01:04:05.300 --> 01:04:11.810
Planning Dept.: and see what she has in mind beyond what you may have already read, or you can like read in the email.
I copied you.
373
01:04:12.040 --> 01:04:16.029
Planning Dept.: and if there's time remaining, of course, then we can listen to Steve.
374
01:04:16.260 --> 01:04:17.500
Planning Dept.: if that's okay.
375
01:04:18.200 --> 01:04:20.377
Planning Dept.: alright. And with all of that
376
01:04:21.070 --> 01:04:27.140
Planning Dept.: So I hear a motion to adjourn. I think, unless there's some other information or topics to bring up
377
01:04:28.090 --> 01:04:30.619
Planning Dept.: alright. Well, I hear a motion to adjourn.
378
