capped ramp ran the entire length of the deck and the glass panels were to be used to hide the ramp. However, the design of the ramp had to be changed so that the railing for the handi- capped ramp was continuous and in line with ADA requirements. The minor change request was for the design modification and the wood railing system. The design was approved but the wood railing system was not and as the applicant failed to read the entire letter the wood railing system was used which prompted them to be sent to Planning Commission. Mr. Yager reviewed that when the applicant first went before the city the Architectural Review Board tried to help the applicant enhance the appearance of the site by using the steel railing system, an entrance canopy and landscaping beds which he does not see on the current plans. The option of steel railing was chosen to blend and enhance the existing steel window system. The applicants indicated that the deck would be stained once it cured which would be in about 4-months. The canopy and landscaping would still be installed to enhance the site. Planning Commission felt the applicants should return to the Architectural Review Board to look at the use of landscaping or other materials to help enhance the appearance of the site. R.
