During that meeting the Planning <br />Commission expressed concerns with the quality of the mausoleum <br />architecture, the seeming incongruity of the semi-private mausoleums and <br />pavilion building architecture with the community mausoleum, the quality <br />of the building materials and that they lack the sense of permanence <br />such a structure demands and that materials such as real stone would <br />provide. The Commission requested more detail on the community <br />mausoleum windows as the plans were not clear as to whether the windows <br />were faux or real. The Commission recommended that any spandrel glass <br />be replaced by granite niches or decorative ironwork. The Commission <br />also requested more detail about how the interior of the community <br />mausoleum would work and what the other elevations would look like. <br /> <br />The Commission also discussed the need for a signal, or other form of <br />protected pedestrian crossing, between the existing southern cemetery <br />and the proposed northern expansion. The Commission directed staff to <br />work with the applicant to answer these questions, work to improve the <br />building materials and architecture and provide further details. After <br />the public hearing was conducted, the Commission voted to continue the <br />item to the meeting of February 13, 2006. <br /> <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />31A-2 <br /> <br />
