INFORMAL REVIEW:
4. Monta Vista Market (Charles Rifredi) -- determination of need for
Architectural and Site Approval Committee review of proposed,architectural
modifications, to an existing building.
The applicants are requesting to decrease the size of their storefront windows,
and to provide brick treatment. The purpose of this proposed alteration is to
decrease vandalism (people kick the existing windows). Staff brought this
request before the committee to determine whether formal ASAC review would be
required, and if so, to assess whether this change would trigger site or
landscape upgrading.
The committee discussed the appropriateness of installing planter boxes in
front of the store. [des Williams, President of the Monta Vista Homeowners
Association, stated that any changes to provide landscaping in the parking
lot areas would necessitate a review of the entire -on -site circulation
system. Mrs. Ann Anger, a Monta Vista resident, believed that landscaping
should be provided on the site at the time Adrianna Avenue is reconfigured.
The committee determined informally that the proposed storefront remodel
should be approved only with a condition that the applicant agree to provide
on -site landscaping at the time of the realignment of Adrianna Avenue.
