“So that's already covered by staff, and you're comfortable for that to be approved at staff level?”
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
“I believe the intent is to maintain the open porch.”
“Yes. So modifying then condition three to preserve the open porch format.”
“So then can we just add a new condition 14 that the applicant, in concert with staff, will add windows to that blank facade? Yes. Condition 15. Um, and there was a, there was a landscape before you move on from that. Sorry, go ahead.”
“So to be approved by staff, but in keeping with the current historic context of the house.”
“Bob, you had comments on colors. I don't think there's any condition addressing colors or tile.”
“I think white makes it go all the way of a little bit too blacked out. To be approved by staff. Terracotta. Colors.”
“Okay. So we'll add that as a condition. 16 on the color. 17. Well, they can't be double. They have to be single hung.”
“I think we can add a comment to study that in concert with staff.”

“Right. So then no condition for or does that is that obvious by a change in condition three I'm going to leave it as the punched opening shall be retained.”
“All right. Well, if it's open, it's very good. So then there's a new condition 15 addressing the addition of windows along the blank facade to be approved by staff in a historically appropriate context. Condition 16 addressing the preference for terracotta tiles. And the new condition 17 that we just added related to the differentiation of the modern second story addition and conforming to Secretary of Interior standards in terms of differentiation to be studied and approved, or to be studied by the applicant and approved by staff. Luis, I have a question.”
“fence by the pool condition six um by staff will um mitigate that glass wall to something more historic that is a it's a great question um i i was meant to ask it and i lost track of it so condition six has written does that address the handrail the glass handrail shown currently is inclusive it addresses the uh what we what we think would be better suited for the uh instead of a raised parapet”
“No, no. Condition six. All fencing shall conform to the historic design guidelines.”
“So then we'll add a new condition 18 to have an alternative to the glass for the area surrounding the pool. Something more historically appropriate. Yes.”
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
“Yeah, so amending 11, no glass. And then adding the new condition, 18, no glass around the pool. with the alternate to be approved by staff.”
“Actually, let's pin that for just one second. Let me make sure we've got... It was a window question. Yeah, we'll come back to that. Let me just make sure that staff has got all this feedback before we click reset and lose all of this and... That's what I'm...”
“I had the same problem. Your question, sir.”
“Najeeb, which elevation were you concerned with?”
“I mean, it's not captured presently beyond the fact that staff has, per the conditions, ceded that decision to staff in concert with them. So, Jordan, unless you want to make that a specific condition, if you're happy for that to be something that Ken can work on with the applicant separately to be approved.”
“So setting the western second story wall back slightly and continuing the parapet elevation with the terracotta detailing around to the western side.”
“Okay. So I'll modify the one that I read into the record as condition 15 to include that detail. Ken, is that clear enough? Okay. Then on that basis, I make the motion to approve with the 14 conditions provided by staff, amending condition three to include a, to require the maintenance of an open porch, and then the additional four conditions that were read in over the course of this discussion.”
“Najeeb Tug. Okay. Let's speak of you, Jordan. Second.”
