<br />Applicant Presentation <br />Mr. Bleck pointed out design elements, specifically textured pavement in the entry area <br />of the project, as well as covered entrances and lanais to break up the two-story mass of <br />the building. He said that the detached architecture together with a private yard and guest <br />parking for each unit creates a sense of being a large home with individual ownership. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Commissioner Au Hoy called attention to the correct pronunciation of the street name <br />ÐAla Onaona,Ñ explaining how the meaning can be different according to the <br />pronunciation. <br /> <br />Commissioner Saito noted that Sheet 2 of the applicantÓs submittal indicates zero for the <br />square footage of the covered lanai area while there are covered lanais being proposed. <br />Mr. Bleck acknowledged the need for a correction. <br /> <br />In response to Commissioner RossÓs question as to whether a belly band with overhang <br />was ever considered to break up the wall surfaces, Mr. Bleck said that in addition to the <br />entrance and lanai coverings there is a two-foot cantilever on the east side of the <br />buildings. Commissioner Ross said that not only do overhangs break up the monolithic <br />look but also add square footage and create space for exterior lights. <br /> <br />Action <br />It was moved by Commissioner Ross, and seconded by Commissioner Kern, to <br />recommend to the Planning Director the approval of the proposed project as submitted. <br />A roll call vote was taken and the motion carried with four ayes (Ross, Kern, Au Hoy and <br />Saito) and three absent and excused (Coats, Herbert and Ogin). <br /> <br />ADMINISTRATIVE MATTERS <br />1.Approval of Minutes of the Meetings of October 13, 2009 <br />It was moved by Commissioner Au Hoy and seconded by Commissioner Ross that the <br />minutes be approved as circulated.
