The proposal of July 1999: The building is a 3-story structure, totaling 19987 square feet (on a 25388 sqft lot). There are 2 entrances to two unconnedted parking lots. There are no entrances in the front of the building. There are 47 parking spaces, three of which are handicapped spots.

At a meeting with neighborhood representatives, the following problem areas were identified:

  1. Three stories will never fly. It violates all kinds of rules about fitting in, about being next-door to the historic distict etc.
  2. Two separate parking lots are a terrible idea. They are not connected in the back, and they are very tight. There are two separate entrances onto a very busy road. Having two entrances where one would suffice goes against general rules for minimizing the number of entrances to Cerrillos.
  3. The building is not connected to Cerillos road. Though the building faces Cerillos, and has display windows, it is separated from the sidewalk by several feet of space and a 3-foot walls.
