He further noted that the owner, Don Kwiatkowski, was present. Mr. Oxian asked if the parking lot would be located between the building and the trees. Mr. Kwiatkowski noted that the parking spaces would be placed on the vacant lot next to the building. Mr. Talley noted that he had discussed this project with Carl Littrell, manager of Traffic and Lighting, at which time Mr. Littrell stated that he would prefer to see the parking lot towards the front of the vacant lot with a curb cut rather then have added traffic along the alley. Mr. Kwiatkowski also noted that he did not own the rear portion of the vacant lot. Mr. Oxian asked where the curb cut would be made and where the parking spaces would be located. Mr. Kwiatkowski stated that he wants to place the parking spaces toward the front of the lot, but, he was not sure how to lay out the spaces. He further noted that a few trees along the property line may have to be removed. Mrs. Choitz stated that the Commission would need to see a detailed diagram of the dimensions of the lot, the proposed parking lot location, size and layout as well as any fence or plant material erected to camouflage the parking lot. Mr. Oxian asked how soon the project needed to be completed. Mr. Kwiatkowski stated that he did not plan on starting the project until next spring. Mr. Oxian proposed that the application be tabled until the next meeting giving Mr. Kwiatkowski a month to meet with Mr. Talley and come up with a more detailed plan and drawing. Mrs. Sporleder asked if the trees lining the vacant lot were on Mr. Kwiatkowski's property. Mr. Kwiatkowski noted that the trees are on his property. Ann McFadden expressed concern over having a driveway placed on such a busy and precarious road. There was some discussion over the curb cut and the safety issues it invokes. Mrs. Sporleder moved to table the application until the November meeting. Mrs. Choitz seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. 5. 1999-0924-3-1346 Lincolnway East, window replacement. Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs. He noted that the owner was not present, however, her contractor, Les Loechen, was present. Mr. Oxian asked if having slightly less glass would affect the over all appearance of the windows. Mr. Loechen stated that the new windows are the same size as the existing, however, the new windows have a wider sash which means there will be less actual glass. He also noted that the owner was proposing to replace all double hung windows with double hung windows and all fixed windows with fixed windows except the second story rear fixed bathroom windows which will be replaced with double hung windows for ventilation.
