The mural should follow the line of the large window casing height across and come off the corner probably in line with that first window (based on the two sketches provided by Jeff Werner). Also, the final design and imagery needs to come back to the BAR for final approval, and that the artist recognizes that the mural’s content will be visible from the street and that it should be to that scale. As presented the color and composition is acceptable. This mural is acceptable because it is on a non- contributing structure in the ADC District, is not located on a primary façade, and it will not be seen from the pedestrian mall. Mohr seconded.
