PERSONS PRESENT SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
a. Ca~men Gintol£.,..A~...ch.i. tect
Mr. Gintoli presented the drawings, explaining in detail the
positlon of the additions and configurations. There will be
additional work done on the o~iginal building such as an a~ctlc
foye~ which will be set up ~o be separately. The configuration
of the addition is somewhat different in that it will be 20'
closer to the cou~ house side of the building instead of
s~aight back. The masonry, bullding lines, windows, etc. will
be a ~epea~ of ~he original bullding to give the appearance of
all one building. The existing buildlng only has 2" insulation,
the additlon will have 9" of ~igid fiberglass insulation and
should not alte~ the lines. The p~esent ~oof is u~ethane which
loses effectiveness so an added alternate fo~ the bld will be to
repair the existing ~oof which will ~un $5 to $6 per square foot
and was not added on the estimate document. The Commission
questioned the p~oposed book d~op, if the~e would be enough ~oom
fo~ a ca~ to d~lve up to it, answered ~hat it will work
effectively and could always be changed a~ a la,er date.
