Vice -Chairman Mike Blair).
Pat Jackson/Applicant, stated they had made a reduction in the size and a slight
change from what was originally submitted.
Dick Kvach stated that all his comments were directed for the original drawings
submitted. The original proposal is for a 33 foot chase approximately 15 feet
high on the north end and 4 feet on the south end. The applicant has since then
modified the request to delete the upper portion and put in a trapezoid shaped
chase on down which will essentially match the roof line. The purpose of the
chase is to allow for vents coming up into it that will vent the exhaust air and
also be for the intake air on the dryers and boilers that are to be in the
laundry establishment. The original comments were
(1) the vent openings be located so they are not visible from the street or
adjoining properties. (this still applies.)
(2) the vent chase and air grilles be colored to match the existing color of
the building (still applies).
Pat Jackson/Applicant, stated everything will match the existing color of the
building. The reason for the change is to reduce the size. One duct will extend
18 inches above the roof line.
Bob Zeeb moved to approve the application with the amended plan as presented by
Pat Jackson to the Design Review Board and recommended by the Staff including the
two applicable conditions in the staff report. Motion was seconded by Tommy
Landauer and was passed unanimously.
Pat Jackson also asked the Board to look over the sign for the proposed business
and also for the other businesses. The Board could not take any action due to no
formal application. Applicant is to get with Dick Kvach to discuss this matter.

Dick Kvach stated that about a month ago the Board reviewed the conceptual plan..
The proposed development is for 71 dwelling units, a 104 seat restaurant/bar,
and a 100 seat convention facility. The building materials will be stucco and
wood trim. The proposed plan generally complies and is recommended for approval
subject to the following conditions:
(1) The parking space in the northeast corner of the site not be counted as
required off-street parking due to not having adequate backup space.
(2) All parking be a minimum of 9' x 18' in size.
(3) All driveways be a minimum of 24' wide.
(4) A plan be submitted and approved by Town Planner & Town Engineer for
snow removal prior to issuing building permit.
(5) Condition #3 of the concept plan required that the 14 spaces in front of
Units 110 & 11.2 be moved to the parking structure and the remaining
parking be moved northward to provide for snow storage. This requirement
has not been met.
(6) Useable Open Space does not meet the 25 percent minimum requirement. There
will have to be a. variance applied for or provide the 2.9 percent additional
open space.
(7) The loading space in front of the lobby not be counted as required parking
unless it is noted that it can be used for overnight guest parking.
Bill Pierce/Applicant, requested that this matter be tabled until the next meeting
so he can take care of the items brought up by staff particularly condition #5
of the staff report.
Jerry Davis asked if the drainage appears to be acceptable for this project?
Norm Wood stated that the general concept of the plan is satisfactory, but does
need more details worked out in the final planning process.
Jerry Davis asked what the sidewalks were going to be made of? Bill Pierce said
they would be concrete pavers. They don't crack easily; they adjust themselves to
settlement and water can drain through easily.
