Summary

Encore Fire Protection presented exterior window insertions into a brick façade and the board voted to approve the renovations. After the vote staff and the applicant clarified that the project address posted on the agenda did not match the applicant's intended project address.

Michael Chervenin of Encore Fire Protection joined the meeting and described proposed exterior window insertions on the brick façade of his company's office. "We are looking to add exterior windows into this brick facade," he told the board, saying the new openings would match other windows in the building and align sill and head heights for symmetry.

Board members said the proposed windows were well proportioned and consistent with the building's storefront rhythm. With no further comments, a member moved and seconded a motion to approve the renovations; the board voted by roll call in favor of the motion.

After the vote a staff member and the applicant noted an address discrepancy between the posted agenda and the project as discussed in the meeting; staff corrected the record with the project address and thanked the applicant.

Action taken: board approved the exterior renovations as submitted; staff will file the approval in the project record and note the corrected project address in the file.
