Gaffron stated that staff has recommended an amendment to the language of the <br /> original Resolution No.4026 to allow plumbing for a sink and to allow heating facilities for the <br /> accessory building,but would request the bathroom�xtures be disconnected and removed from the <br /> building. : <br /> Gail Wilder and Peter Beck,representatives of the owner,requested that the residents be allowed to <br /> disconnect without completely removing the tub and shower, since this would require a great deal <br /> of demolition.Instead,Beck suggested that the applicants build a bookshelf unit over the <br /> tub/shower to obscure their presence. <br /> PAGE 6 of 9 <br /> _ _ _ <br />
