(4:40) DISCUSSION ITEMS (10 min)
A.Roll-Up Window at Martolli’s Pizza/38 East Main Street
Cynthia Guthrie, architect on the project, was present to discuss the proposal.
Cynthia wanted to clear up the confusion that the project is a roll up window,
and NOT a door. The window will be custom fit, to fit the height and width of the
area. The base will be pushed back to accommodate the countertop under
the window will fill the framed area with stucco. Severson reminded the
Committee that this is just at the pre-application stage and a formal submittal
will be forthcoming. This meeting is just to address comments and
recommendations for the applicant.
Committee recommendations and discussion
Committee members were generally supportive of the idea and of the specific
proposal.
Committee members recommended looking at the height of the bar stools
relative to the height of the bar surface and suggested that there might be a
need to have off-set or stepped bar surface heights for the street-side and
restaurant-size seats.
Committee members also suggested that the stools for the sidewalk-side
seating might need to be movable or removable rather than a
permanent/fixed installation.
