Mr. Chusmir moved to approve the request for construction of a handicap ramp on the north side of the
building at 1119 S. Myrtle Avenue based on a finding that proposed alterations are consistent with the
purpose and intent of Schedule S and complies with the specific design guidelines contained within Schedule
S, per staffs report, with the stipulation if the house is sold the new owner will either have to come before
the board with a reason to keep the ramp or will have to remove it. Mr. Yebba seconded. Motion carried 4 -0.
Mr. Chusmir stated for the record he approved the ramp on the north side because the south side elevation is
not ADA approved and he believes a homeowner who is disabled should have the right to use their primary
entrance instead of a side entrance. During the discussion, the board requested the owner to plant landscaping
along the ramp to help "soften" the area.
