Mr. Wall acknowledged Commissioner Taylor for his dedication to being a liaison to the Design
Review Board. He feels this type of discourse is very valuable. He spoke to the tension that
exists between projects that have significant aesthetic qualities but also have considerable
economic ramifications. The tension has been heightened by the current economic situation
because applicants focus on the economic points of a project before the DRB, yet economic
considerations are not the purview of the DRB. Mr. Wall asked for Commission input on this
issue.
0 :49:26 Mayor Krauss
Mayor Krauss responded to Mr. Wall saying that tying recommendations to the LIDO, the
planning docurnents or supporting literature is so important. The applicant has the expectation

as well.
0:53 :32 Cr. Becker

achievability. He would like to see specific direction regarding what would help. He also asked
