ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSION MINUTES

CASE NO. 182 C (CONTINUED):
LOCATION: North side of El Paseo at the rear of Market Basket, west of
Larkspur Lane.
ZONE: C-1 S.P.
Mr. C.G. Dunham, applicant and Mr. Sandy Baum, coordinator for the project
were present.
After an extensive discussion at the study session Commissioner Holden
expressed concern that the parking area was not shown on the plans and
Commissioner Cook felt the plans should show more integration between the
remodel and addition.
The commission was in agreement that more detailed plans should be
presented with the treatment of the area to the rear of the new buildings
showing integration with the existing center. Commissioner Martin felt there
was too much concern over what is done with the back of the buildings and felt
that separate plans for the remodel and existing building could be presented.
Mr. Diaz indicated that the applicant would require and was applying to the
planning commission for a parking variance which will be heard by the
applicant on April 19, 1983.
On a motion by Commissioner Holden, seconded by Commissioner Gregory, the
commission approved the entire concept of the remodel and three new
commercial buildings adjacent to El Paseo, subject to conditions listed in the
staff report and plans being submitted showing the treatment of the area to
the rear of the new buildings and existing center to assure integration:
Motion carried 5-0-1, Commissioner Cook abstained.
