AGENDA ITEM NO. 3: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on an
alternate facade material for the Corner Bar rooftop structure located at 401 University
Drive. Case #08- 00500192 (JP)
Jennifer Prochazka, Senior Planner, presented the item stating that the Applicant originally
presented a plan to the Design Review Board to use the roof of the Sparks Building as a
rooftop bar. Such approval by the Design Review Board included a brick veneer structure on
the roof that matched the brick previously used for the stairwell structure addition. She
further explained that the brick that was installed on the rooftop structure does not match the
brick used on the stairwell structure as required.
There was general discussion by the Board Members of the item and possible solutions to
remedy the unapproved brick veneer structure that was installed.
The Board Members asked staff and the Applicant questions in general.
Ward Wells suggested adding architectural elements to tie the two brick veneers together.
Jason Kinnard concurred.
Hunter Goodwin suggested that the item be tabled and requested that the Applicant submit to
the Design Review Board alternatives using additional architectural elements for review.
Alan King motioned to table the item and have the Applicant return to the Design
Review Board with plans showing additional architectural elements to tie the two brick
veneers together and to approve the extension of Corner Bar's Temporary Certificate
of Occupancy for 30 days. Hunter Goodwin seconded the motion; motion passed (5 -0).

Design Review Board Member may inquire about a subject for which notice has not

Board's responsibility and any legal issues that may arise.
