Minutes note: Ms. Jacqueline Drayer said a second exit is needed for the proposed two bedrooms on the third floor. Staff recommends approval, but has concerns about the exterior spiral staircase. Robert Howard - owner - it isn't possible to put a bedroom on the second floor and it does not make sense for the flow of the house to add more windows on the second floor. He did major work to convert the building from a duplex to a single family as it was in poor shape. Will paint to match the house trim and have open treads. He will look into if a ladder is acceptable. Eric Gebhard - architect - he did look at a conventional staircase, but the spiral staircase was better over-all. Grant, with standard wood conditions.
