Referred by Planning Commission November 8, 1988. J. Matricardi, Matrix Engineering, presented colored rendering of the renovations to the store front explaining that: shoji panels (light wood and unstained) will be installed inside the windows; lava rock will be installed under the windows, but wi11 not be installed adjacent to the windows as shown on the plans at the request of the owner of the shopping center, and they would continue the shoji panel treatment in that area; and that the exterior wood portal would probably be stained light brown. The Board discussed other treatments for this area, but decided the panels would be preferable.
