Request of Brian Voges of Voges Design LLC, applicant, representing LADSA, LLC,
owner, for the significance review of the existing main structure located at 280 Retama

improvements are outside of the 100-yr flood area and/or complete a Floodplain Development

board declared the existing main structure as not significant and voted unanimously to
recommend approval of the demolition as requested.
