APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE ENTRADA DEL PASEO STEERING COMMITTEE'S REGULAR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 22, 2004 MOTION to approve the Minutes of the September 22, 2004, meeting made by Member Crites, seconded by Member Leo, unanimously approved. V. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. VI. NEW BUSINESS A. APPROVAL OF REVISED CONCEPTUAL FLOOR PLAN OF MULTI -USE BUILDING Ms. Aylaign opened the meeting by indicating the primary reason for having the meeting was to give a progress update on the conceptual design for the multi -use building. Narendra Patel, the architect for Patel Architecture, displayed a visual animated presentation of the exterior elevation in its conceptual form. Mr. Patel explained that the building has no single "front", and that it is meant to be viewed from all sides. The design also engages the land forms from the landscaping, with a berm that transitions into a rooftop garden. Mr. Patel clarified that the roof access was not intended to be a public access, and the access would only be to maintain the garden. Mr. Patel confirmed that the area was not safe for the public and that it was not a very big area. Mr. Crites addressed the access for pedestrians and it being a real concern. It was suggested by Mr. Drell to consider a direct path so that people can get there easily. After discussion concerning the purpose and potential use and visibility of the rooftop garden, Member Crites requested that staff investigate and report back on the view of the garden from 5'-8" (eye level); methods for preventing public access or making the area safe and allowing for public access; and OSHA or other safety and code issues related to the rooftop garden. He also requested that direct access from the parking stalls to the front entry be provided in order to protect the landscaping from pedestrian traffic. MOTION to approve the conceptual elevations as presented subject to additional studies on the roof top garden and parking access, made by Member Leo, seconded by Member Ortega, and unanimously approved.
