<br />stated that that the cornice is an EIFS material. The signage is proposed to be stone, <br />unless cost becomes an issue, than an EIFS material will be used. <br /> <br />Mr. Mangan provided an overview of the proposed site plan. <br /> <br />Staff provided pictures of the site and surrounding area. <br /> <br />Mr. Lai pointed out that the site itself is not within a Historic District but within 300 feet of <br />two historic districts. <br /> <br />Ms. Ghasedi summarized the standards in the Zoning Code which state that no specific <br />architectural style is required and it must be compatible with other building structures <br />within the district to which it may be visually related. It is a broad standard. The <br />proposed construction is mostly brick which is probably appropriate. <br /> <br />Mr. Myers noted the intent to continue use of the same material unless there are budget <br />constraints and stated that regarding the west side of the proposed building, he would <br />encourage to at least run the brick and cornice detailing back to the line of the existing <br />building to the west. The east corners are prominent features and the southwest corner <br />should also be. If there are budget constraints, maybe they could transition to a <br />different material behind the line of the existing building to the west. <br /> <br />Mr. Mangan stated that it is their intention to continue the details all the way around the <br />building. <br /> <br />Ms. Ghasedi made a motion to accept the drawings as submitted. Ms. Davison <br />seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />3. Preliminary consultation for proposed surveillance cameras at several locations in the <br />Delmar Loop. <br /> <br />Ms. Ghasedi stated her concern with the application and that the proposal does not <br />require a building permit. The code refers to activities that require a building permit. <br />Ms. Ghasedi also stated that the HPC review is narrowed to whether or not our code <br />has designated the district in which there are specific standards. She added that other <br />buildings have cameras and other buildings have signage and was concerned that a <br />precedent might be set for all similar work. <br /> <br />The members discussed when a building permit is required and if adding a camera is <br />the same as adding a building feature. <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens stated that the application was submitted for preliminary review / <br />consultation. <br /> <br />Ms. Ghasedi stated that she is concerned about treating all applicants the same. Based <br />on the proposal, it dg permit and it is not a building <br />addition. <br /> <br />Mr. Greatens stated he is not sure if some of the proposed camera installations will <br />24 <br />Page of <br /> <br /> <br />
