New Business: The committee reviewed the Exterior Appearance paperwork submitted by Richmond Brathaus. The owners requested the installation of a railing in the middle of the Rte. 12 sidewalk and replacement of the historical windows on the Rte. 12 side of the building with multi-panel retractable windows. The committee members explained to the owner that any permanent/temporary seating or railing place on the Rte. 12 sidewalk is in the IDOT right-ofway and the State has the right to remove those items. Any placement of temporary seating would be at the owner’s risk, which was understood. Trustees Elliott and Peiler were both opposed to the permanent placement of seating or railing on the Rte. 12 sidewalk. The owner rescinded their request to install the railing on the sidewalk.
