integrally colored block is proposed for the north and south elevations for economic reasons. He agreed that it is probably not appropriate and stated that the applicant is willing to extend the brick around the north and south facades to the break in the building. He requested that Council revise condition number two to be more equitable for the applicant. He felt that if Council will have a parking district in place soon, there is no need for the last sentence in condition number two. Keany stated to Hartronft that Sisk's condition regarding brick was that the brick be continued all along the north and south side, not just to the break. Hartronft replied that this was a very expensive provision which would require some cost studies. Simmons stated that the proposed Downtown Design Guidelines would suggest using a different material on the third floor to help differentiate it from the first two stories. Wood agreed that stucco would be an appropriate material. Sisk offered a friendly amendment to condition number four that the brick be continued on the north and south elevation of the first and second stories, accepted by Howard. Levihn questioned why Council would approve this project with the amount of unfinished business regarding downtown. In light of the applicant's request that construction commence by the year 2000, he suggested that the applicant postpone this project until all the issues have been resolved. Lathrop agreed with Hartronft that condition number four is an expensive provision and he did not feel that the cost was worth the benefit. Lathrop offered a friendly amendment that the first segment of the building be brick, with the remainder to be either integral colored concrete block units or integral colored stucco, seconded by Keany. Davidson called for roll call on Lathrop's amendment. Amendment failed by a 3-4 vote, with Davidson, Howard, Sisk and Levihn voting against. Davidson called for roll call on Resolution No. 43, as amended. Motion carded by a 5-2 vote, with Keany and Levihn voting against. Davidson called for a five-minute recess.
