B. CONTINUED ITEM REVIEW
1. Ohman MiSP/COA Z-9658 (Strahn)
612 S. 1 Oth Avenue
- A Minor Site Plan with a Certificate of Appropriateness application
to allow the renovation of a garage into a studio apartment.
Historic Preservation Planner Derek Strahn presented the project, which was to convert a cinder
block garage into a studio apartment. He invited Mr. Ohman and Ms. Johnson to join DRB.
Planner Strahn noted that the applicant had spoken with the chief building official who indicated
that, with the removal of the windows and installation of a one-hour fire wall on the garage south
elevation,the skylight windows were acceptable. The applicant has changed the interior to allow
for a stairway into the loft and the revisions appear to clearly indicate that the proposed loft area
will be for storage purposes only. For this reason, no egress windows are proposed. Planner
Strahn noted that DRB is to make a recommendation to the City Commission on this application.
Mr. Willett inquired if this project had to go back before DRC. Planner Strahn noted that it had
received conditional approval by DRC last week.
Chairperson Chisholm requested Planner Strahn to review the letter received in objection to this
project. Planner Strahn summarized the letter in which the main concern was pertaining to fire
safety, which has been alleviated by the addition of the fire wall and the removal of the windows
on the alley side of the structure.
Mr. McCrone requested a description of the current garage. Planner Strahn complied. Mr.
McCrone noted that the addition will be an improvement over the existing flat roofed garage.
Mr. Willett moved, Mr. McCrone seconded,that a recommendation for approval be forwarded to
the City Commission on this application. Motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
