Mr. Masri passed out <br />new plans to all the board members. The brick is the same color as the fabric stores across <br />the street so the building will be painted the same color (ponytail that is an earth tone). <br />The wood band will be removed and as he is not sure what shape the brick will be in an <br />E.F.A.S. parapet will be put in place. Brick will be used on the bottom of the front facade <br />for the first 4 feet. Mr. Zergott questioned if the applicants had a material list as was <br />requested.

The third request was the width of the glass, if it could be narrowed down <br />without changing the inside structure of the store. Mr. Masri showed the board a picture <br />.
