. . Minutes - Plan Commission Page 5 August 23, 1989 Mr. llein raised the issue of the staff recommendation for masonry infill and asked for broader language which would allow other materials. Ms. lreishman responded that she felt the masonry was not appropriate and suggested that commercial window coverings such as vertical blinds would be more desirable. She also observed that the rooftop equipment needed more adequate screening and recommended against the use of wood slats for such screening. Chairman McCauley declared the public hearing closed. After a brief discussion, Mr. Marsh recommended that the application for Conditional Use Permit '276 be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. A permit is granted to the Agudas Israel of St. Louis, an orthodox Jewish organization, and if the applicant discontinues as the sole user of the Conditional Use, the permit is null and void. 2. The permit is granted for the use of the space as shown on the drawing dated 8/10/89 prepared by Alvah M, Levine, P.C. Any enlargement or additions to the space must be reviewed by the Plan Commission and approved by the City Council before such enlargement or addition takes place. 3. An architectural element shall be constructed on the roof to screen the rooftop mechanical equipment and infill shall be constructed in the entire storefront that was formerly 8202 Delmar Boulevard. The design and material shall be subject to the review of the Director of Planning and the work shall be completed on or before September IS, 1990. Ms. Kreishman observed that more work is still needed on Condition #3 and recommended the following wording: 3. An architectural element of non-combustible material shall be constructed on the roof to screen the rooftop mechanical equipment and the storefront of what was formerly 8202 Delmar Boulevard shall have the door replaced with plate glass and store front material matching the balance of the store front with appropriate window covering such as vertical blinds or other commercial window covering installed in that entire storefront. The design and materials shall be subject to the review and approval of the Director of Planning and the work shall be completed on or before September IS, 1990. Mr. Marsh accepted Ms. Kreishman's suggestion for Condition #3 and included it as part of his motion. Mr. Kendall seconded the motion. Mr. Rice moved an amendment to add a fourth condition reading as follows: 4. None of the basement space in the building shall be used for a retail sales area. The motion was seconded by Ms. Kreishman after a brief discussion. The motion to amend was passed by a vote of 5-1 with one abstention. A vote was then taken on the amended motion which passed by a vote of 6-0 with one abstention.
