_______________________________ Recording Secretary
Mr. Morrisey stated that the existing building’s “U” shape made it feel better; the two wings helped break down the scale of the building and by pulling out the building makes it a 3-story façade
17 versus a 2-story façade. He added that the removal of those seven to eight trees changes the feel of the property and noted that the building already had two entrances. He stated that the plan relies on matching the existing brick which would be difficult and that entire building would need to be re- mortared.
Chairman Lichtenfeld stated he is anxious to see the next iteration.
Joanne Boulton asked the applicant if enough information/feedback has been provided this evening.

The remaining properties are 5,845 square feet each and are currently vacant. The consolidated lot will measure 126,018 square feet. The proposed plat will consolidate seven existing lots that have historically been maintained under common ownership as part of the school property. On September 12, 2017, the Board of Aldermen approved a Conditional Use Permit for the operation of a daycare and corporate university on the subject properties with the condition that the seven existing lots are consolidated into one.
