design with no special window designs.

possible from the public view. Staff notes, while the addition would be

located along a street frontage, it would be a secondary frontage. The

design would also provide a 5 ft setback from the sidewalk, while the

existing building is directly adjacent to the sidewalk. Staff requests AHBR

feedback on the building’s relationship to Division Street to aid in the

review of the anticipated setback variance.

h) Verify the proposed exterior materials for roof, siding, windows, and

foundation.
