DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE PAGE 2
January 22, 2008
Agenda Item A: Discussion and possible action on the proposed changes for Hazelrose
Properties — 506 W. Boyd Drive.
Agenda Item B: Discussion and possible action on the proposed changes for Rainy Day
Services — 102 N. Bonham Drive.
Agenda Item C: Discussion and possible action on the proposed changes for DSA
Publishing — 203 W. Belmont.
Mr. Hoover presented the history on the properties, stating that there are no architectural changes
being made to the structures. The applicants will be required to construct a ramp to bring their
properties to ADA compliance. In some cases additional parking lot landscape screening is
required.
The Committee discussed whether simple requests like this should be required to come to the
Design Review Committee. Building Inspections will be responsible for reviewing the
construction plans and working with the applicants to bring the inside of the structure to Code.
Mr. Hoover stated that zoning regulates the use — O Office. Code Enforcement will be
responsible for assuring the use, and that debris from projects is not brought back to the location
and stored. Therefore, when there are no architectural changes there is very little for the DRC to
consider.
Motion: Upon a motion by Committee Member Baumgartner, and a second by
Committee Member Siemer, the Commission voted 7 IN FAVOR, and 0
OPPOSED, to add an action item for the next meeting to adopt a policy to
allow Staff to review requests and determine if the request will need DRC
approval. The motion carried.
The consensus of the Committee was that the three (3) requests do not need DRC approval, and
allow Staff to work with applicant to bring the structures to Code. Ms. Ross did ask that Staff
remind the applicants that any additional exterior changes will require DRC approval.
Adjournment
Motion: Upon a motion by Committee Member Baumgartner and a second by
Committee Member Shaffer the Commission voted 7 IN FAVOR and 0
OPPOSED to adjourn the meeting at 8:43 a.m.
