Mr. Gartner requested design review of new steps at the "old post office building" The existing steps are deteriorating and need to be replaced. The proposal is to replace them with poured concrete foundation, trimmed with flagstone on the riser section of the steps. The building has three types of brick and stone used on the facade now. The flagstone addition would introduce a new type of stone to the building. The wheelchair ramp will match the concrete /flagstone steps. There was some concern among the Commission about an additional type of stone to the building. Commissioner Johnson felt the building is formal and refined looking and the flagstone would not do the building justice. The flagstone would pull the attention away from the building. Commissioner Diem suggested making the ramp look more like landscaping not an extension of the building. Mr. Gartner inquired about the need for a wheelchair ramp. Motion made by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Tomten to approve the design request with cut stone, flush about 18 - 24 inch long with the same height as the opening. The same stone shall be used on the wheelchair ramp. When sample is decided on sample must be brought to City Planner Fitzgerald. Motion passed unanimously. Case No. DR/02 -60.
