PUBLIC HEARINGS
a.
Certificate of Appropriateness 17-34 - Construct New Commercial Building - 102 Avenue A
Ms. Lewicka gave an overview of the application and answered questions from the Board on the depth and store front for the sidewalk cafe, awnings and recommendations for additional design modifications.
Mike Menard, Applicant Representative from Architectonic, clarified that the architecture is basically duplicating the Second Street Station building, as far as cornice locations, awnings and window head heights and the only deviation is the glass overhead garage doors. Mr. Menard stated the applicant is not opposed to changing to a split face block wall to mimic other projects in downtown and they are open to do something a little different with the railing. Mr. Menard explained the railing will look more like the second floor of the St. Lucie County Clerk building with the double top railing.
Mr. Menard asked the Board if it would be okay to add another door to the eastern side of the building to make a secondary means of egress and kitchen access to the dumpster.
Mr. Menard answered questions from the Board on the glass overhead door, width of cafe seating area, parking, and being able to walk between the Second Street Station and PP Cobb buildings.
