Commission voting to deny the GOA for the meter boxes. Mrs. DeRose said the Commission could vote to deny the COA for meter boxes, but the result would be the death of the whole project. Mrs. O'Blenis inquired if Mr. Littrell could come back with another COA if the Commission denied the meter boxes. She said she was concerned because Mr. Littrell had told her specifically she had no recourse. President Oxian said the Commission could vote to deny the meter boxes, but there was no guarantee the_City_would_come-"back--with-a-different—"--- plan.—For--this"-reason,— President Oxian said he would rather allow 60 days for discussion before the work commenced. He said he was certain Mr. Duvall would be willing to sit in on meeting between Mr. Littrell and the Riverside Drive residents and that if his presence was requested, he himself would be willing to attend the meetings. Commissioner Talley agreed with President Oxian and suggested to the residents that if the meetings did not take place within 30 days or are not agreeable to the neighborhood, then the neighbors could come back to the Commission seeking or demanding the denial of the COA for the meter boxes. Mrs. DeRose said the Commission would need to change their approval from the last meeting because at that meeting they had vote to approve unconditionally the COA filed by Mr. Littrell. She said now that COA would need to be amended for work to begin no earlier than 60 days to allow discussions to work out this problem, otherwise the City could go ahead and install the box. Commissioner Bullene said there seemed to be this question of whether there was a better way to do the project and that the feasibility of this suggested plan would need to be determined. Mr. Littrell inquired if the locations were changed if he would have to file for a new COA. Mrs. O'Blenis inquired if she needed some sort of legal means of preventing Mr. Littrell from proceeding with the project. President Oxian said he did not believe Mr. Littrell would proceed without further discussions. Mrs. DeRose said she would prefer there be a motion that conditions the approval of last months COA to a sixty day waiting period. There was a discussion on how long of a delay was necessary. Commissioner Bullene pointed out last month he had made a motion to delay action for 60 days and he would like longest time period possible so they did not have to do this again. Commissioner Bullene moved to condition the approval of last months COA to a sixtv day waiting period before the commencement of work. Commissioner Hostetler seconded the motion. The motion Passed unanimously. Ms. Stevenson (1093 Riverside Drive) noted at the last months meeting, a specific location for the boxes was not given. She said the liaison did not intend for the boxes to go into peoples yards. President Oxian explained they had discussed the type of meter boxes, but not the location. He said Mr. Littrell brought up the meter boxes several times, but everyone was so occupied with the lights that they did not focus on the meter boxes. President Oxian said no one was trying to push something through without discussion. IV.Regular Business Mrs. DeRose asked if President Oxian would move the legal report up on the agenda. Mrs. DeRose reported an ordinance had been prepared on behalf of the Commission which would amend the code to allow the Commission to introduce any ordinance which would create or alter a historic district or create or alter a
