Mr. Ujdak moved to recommend approval of the application as 49 submitted. Mr. Helmus seconded the motion. Mr. Ujdak asked what a Purple Ash tree 50 looked like. Mrs. Hostetler stated that she did not know what a Purple Ash tree looked 51 like; however, they are supposed to be a hearty tree, resistant to disease and road salt.

He further noted that the 59 owner was not present. Mr. Talley noted that the staff sent a request to the owner 60 inquiring as to the proposed use of the second floor. Ms. Anderson, the owner, wrote 61 back that the space was to be used as a rental hall for parties. Mr. Talley noted that if the 62 Commission approves the fire exit door then the entire building has to be brought up to 63 code for the proposed use. He further noted that Ms. Anderson has allegedly been using 64 the space for a banquet hall for a while now with out being up to code. Mr. Talley went 65 on to note that the owner has tried several times to alter the building with out getting the 66 proper permits. He stated that if the Commission allows the door the owner would have 67 to come back to the Commission with several other code requirements, such as, paving 68 parking lots and window alterations. Mr. Talley went on to report that the owner did not 69 submit any details concerning the style, type, material or size of door, and thus the staff 70 recommends either denying the application or referring it to the Standards and 71 Maintenance Committee. There was some clarification over the location of the proposed 72 door. During the discussion the Commission came to the conclusion that the door was to 73 be installed in the last pane of glass to the north. There was some discussion over 74 whether or not there would be enough time to allow tabling of the application until March 75 when more information has been submitted. Mr. Talley asked if tabling it would require 76 the owner to sign a time waiver. Mrs. Green noted that if the owner does not respond to 77 the request for a waiver the Commission would have to call a special meeting to deny the 78 application. Mrs. Hostetler stated that the Commission should deny the application based 79 on time restrictions. Mr. Helmus moved to recommend denial of the application based on 80 the lack of appropriate information and the time restraints given to the Commission for 81 action. A phone vote was taken concerning this motion on February 29, 2000, as follows: 82 John Oxian — yes and Jerry Weiner — yes. The motion passed unanimously. 83 84 4.2000-0208-2 —102/110 N.
