q <br />As an additional note, the Hillsborough Board of Adjustment met on <br />April 10 and voted to continue the Public Hearing until 6:30 p.m., <br />Tuesday, April 16, to receive further information regarding the <br />following issues: <br />1. Lighting for the existing parking lot between the Courthouse <br />and the Sheriff's Department; <br />2. A railing along Margaret Lane over the Stillhouse Creek <br />culvert; and <br />3. Providing a safer bridge over Stillhouse Creek for pedestrian <br />traffic from the parking area to the back entrance of the new facility. <br />We are optimistic that the project will be approved by the Board of <br />Adjustment at the April 16 meeting. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Historic District Commission did raise some valid <br />points. In response to these points, the Manager recommends the <br />following: <br />1. Modifications to the fire stair and the exterior screen walls <br />around the mechanical equipment should be included as part of the base <br />bid package; <br />2. Based on comments by the Historic District Commission and <br />since the facade modification would allow the building to be more in <br />keeping with existing buildings in the area, the Manager recommends <br />that the design be modified to include the extended wall projections; <br />and <br />3. The change from Running Bond to Flemish Bond should be <br />included as a alternate to the base bid package. If funds allow, this <br />modification would be considered by the Board when the bids are awarded <br />and a decision made at that time. <br />
