Mr. Greatens stated that one of the concerns at the last meeting was the creation of two new one-bedroom units in the rear of the building and the construction of a new exterior staircase to provide access for the new units, creating alley dwellings. He stated that these items had been removed from the plans. The applicant and project architect, Mr. Stu Leipziger with The Lawrence Group, provided an overview of the building renovations. He also highlighted the changes that had been made since the January 16 meeting, including removal of the proposed one-bedroom units. He stated that the walkway extending from the rear of the building to the front sidewalk was to be kept and that the parking in the rear would remain the same. All other exterior renovations were the same as proposed, including tuck-pointing, window replacement, landscaping improvements, and some brick infill as necessary. A motion was made by Mr. Hamilton to recommend approval of the proposed renovations at 745 Interdrive Street. The motion was seconded by Ms. Marin and carried unanimously. tm; E
