General Discussion
February 14 Minutes Need Ms. Perkins asked if the minutes of February 14 were approved at the last
Approval meeting. They were not. They are still open and need to be approved.
Mr. Burch asked if the Commission had standards for approving tenant
Standards for Approving finishes. He noted it was the second tenant finish that was approved on a
Tenant Finishes drawing. Tenant finishes are not covered in the regulations but could be
added in the future. Mayor Burch asked Mr. Kitzie to look at the
possibiltiy of adding some. The concern is that Occupancy Licenses
cannot be evaluated against drawings. It requires the burden to be placed
on the Codes Officer. An architectural drawing would put the burden on
the applicant. Mr. Flowers confirmed that he does the calculations and
checks against the Uniform Code for compliance rather than City
Regulations.
Chairman Warger, who was in the audience, stated this was his last
Chairman Warger says Good- meeting. He thanked the Commission and said good -bye. The

seconded. The meeting was adjourned at 8:04 p.m.
