Christina Wright, senior planner, presented a village residential design review for a new elevator to be added to an existing Tabby building in the VR Village Residential Zoning District and Island Preservation Overlay District. Wright said the elevator shaft will be integrated to match the existing Tabby building and that the design and colors will not conflict with the area.

Skip Now, a property owner and board member of the Pierpont Condominiums HOA, spoke for the applicant and said the elevator would be placed behind the east stairwell and use matching materials to reduce visibility: "we made every attempt to do that," he said. Commissioner (unnamed) noted the accessibility benefit, saying, "I really think that every condo complex ideally would have elevators because it makes things not accessible for people if they're visiting their family or renting..."

The public hearing drew no outside speakers. Commissioner (unnamed) moved to approve VP-25-8 without modifications; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. The approval advances the project through the county design-review process; subsequent permitting actions will follow.
