HISTORY:

The Design Review Board held a duly noticed public hearing on October 3, 2002, and heard and considered testimony from interested persons. The Design Review Board found that the proposed addition is inconsistent with the Guiding Principles of Site Plan and Architectural Review, and the magnitude of the Floor Area Exception request is excessive. Therefore the Board directed Staff to draft a resolution of denial for the proposed project.
