19049 Staff Report
19049 Application Materials
19049 Plans & Elevations
06:16:38 PM (00:44:43) Mr. Scherer recused himself because his firm is involved in the project.
05:34:15 PM (00:02:20) City Planner Jadin presented application 19049 to the members of the board and
explained that parts of the project had not been approved by engineering because the existing lots between
S. 15th and S. 19th on W. Babcock do not meet current city standards, having no curb or sidewalk. She said
the new owners would be responsible for completing any additional requirements, but that the project itself
was near completion otherwise. Ms. Jadin then made herself available to answer any questions.
05:47:56 PM (00:16:01) Rob Pertzborn from Intrinsik Architecture, a member of the applicant team, also
gave a presentation and made himself available to answer questions.

and the applicant team.
06:14:54 PM (00:42:59) Chair Hufstetler offered another opportunity for public comment.
06:16:38 PM (00:44:43) Vice Chair Franklin asked Ms. Jadin if she was hoping for commentary from the
board. Ms. Jadin clarified that she was also looking for a recommendation about specific features of the
design.

conditional to improvements to the south wall on the side: Charles Franklin
