Vice Chair Schmidt arrived at this point in the meeting, at 5:35 p.m. Cyrese Colbert, Property Manager for the applicant, explained there was no natural light inside the building, there would be no awnings, and this was the only unit without a window. Discussion ensued. Ms. Colbert explained how the proposed windows would tie in with other windows. Board Member Miller suggested a horizontal mobar across the top of the window to line up with the door. Ms. Colbert disagreed. Signage could establish a horizontal plane. The brick wall was discussed. Board Member Okun suggested approving a future awning that would match and conform to the rest of the complex to save the applicant coming back.
