Proposals for Design Review
1. ORB 97-004 The Sand Castle Hotel -- Lower Building Renovations
200 North Osceola Avenue ~- Jeffrey Litton, Representative
Mr. McCarty presented verbal background, stating the applicant proposes a small
storage building that cannot be seen from the street. Code requires ORB review in this
district. A site plan, locator map, and construction plan were distributed in the board
packets.
Jeffrey Litton, representing the applicant, submitted copies of a photograph of the
subject property. The proposed dry storage shed will be located on the water side of the
hotel building, completely out of view from the street. Referring to the perspective
illustrated in the photograph, Mr. Litton explained the shed will not be visible above the
fenc'e from across the back parking lot.
c
Mr. Litton responded to board questions, stating the shed will have a flat roof, and will
serve as additional dry storage for the recently enlarged restaurant kitchen. Discussion
ensued regarding the fence height. Board members did not agree the fence is tall enough
to completely hide the shed, as stated by the applicant. Mr. Litton responded the shed roof
will be painted white to match the hotel, so jf a small portion of the roof Is Visible above
the fence, it and blend with the background.

Board and Staff Discussion
1. Preliminary Mandalay Avenue Streetscape Design
Mr. McCarty reported the town' meeting on this topic has been rescheduled to
Wednesday, February 12, 1997, 7:00 p.m., In the banquet room of the Best Western Sea
Stone Resort, 446 Hamden Boulevard. Central Permitting Director Scott Shuford and City
Engineering Director Rich Baier will attend to discuss the item and solicit public input.
Mr. McCarty will present the item to the ORB at the February 11 regular meeting.
2. 1 997 Adoption of ORB Rules of Procedure
Discussion ensued regarding the complexity of making the design review application
process customer friendly while ensuring: 1) applicants consistently submit enough data
for appropriate design review; and 2) property owners are adequately represented.
Member Plisko suggested a rule amendment to include a list of the board's minimum
submittal requirements. Member Cagni noted the design guidelines includes such a list, in
the form of suggestions. Mr. Plisko indicated professional drawings and colored renderings
should not be mandatory, but color chips and basic sketches showing intended sign
locations should be prerequisite to being agendaed for ORB consideration. Mr. McCarty will
draft a list of required submission materials for discussion at the next meeting.
Member Hamilton questioned whether the board should require written authorization
for a representative to speak on behalf of a property owner. Mr. McCarty acknowledged
this is an issue of concern to regulatory boards, but questioned how it could be
accomplished in a customer friendly manner. He referred to the results of a recent study
regarding public perception of the bureaucratic process. He asked the board to give this
issue some thought for discussion at the next meeting.
Member McCann noted the simplicity of today's design proposal, and questioned
whether the board should discontinue the requirement for design review of every project.
He suggested limiting the board's efforts to designs that affect the community interest.
Mr. McCarty agreed, stating staff is looking at adding administrative approvals to the
procedure, as part of the comprehensive Land Development Code review. Board members
agreed requiring a design presentation for a storage shed is not customer friendly.
Member Pliska moved to approve the 1997 ORB Rules and Regulations as presented at
the last meeting. The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
