This proposal was put forth by the applicant in order to correct a violation issued for the installation of cinderblocks without a permit. In the initial proposal (presented to the Commission on November 10, 2009), the applicant did not propose to remove the cinderblocks. The proposal was to simply cover up the cinderblocks with black painted glass and bulkheads. The cinderblocks would have remained.
The revised proposal, presented to the Commission on February 10th, 2010, involved replacing the cinderblocks with display windows.
