There being no further public response, the public hearing was closed. Councilman Dahl felt sandblasting would not be a benefit to the standards or the surrounding areas. Painting would be a better option. Andy Barmakian stated that his original plan submitted was for an all painted building. They had been asked to add some sandblasting and fluting areas. Their appeal is to paint the whole building and eliminate the sandblasting.

He felt this was a Planning Commission responsibility. Mr. Dahl stated he would approve sandblasting in the area around the doors, but was totally against the buildings being completely sandblasted. Mr. Buquet expressed unhappiness with the many appeals coming to City Council from developers who were not happy with the Planning Commission decisions. However, he could not see any real reason why this should be sandblasted. Mrs. Wright expressed that she did not want to lead developers on that the City Council will override the Planning Commission in such matters. Mr. Barmakian stated he did not understand why the design was changed. They had presented an all painted building originally.
