COMMISSIONER COMMENTS
Melanie inquired about the certification process for contractors and Amy
stated that the Building Dept. is going forward with a code amendment
requiring contractor certification. Anyone who will be working on an historic
building will have to go through a certification.
Heidi mentioned Mona Frost's house and its deterioration. Amy stated that
the city has a policy of demolition by neglect and she will look into the
situation.
930 KING STREET - CONCEPTUAL
Suzannah opened the public hearing. No comments from the public.
MOTION: Mary moved to continue the public hearing and conceptual
approve, lot split for 930 King Street until March 11, 1998; second by
Melanie. All in favor, motion carried 5-0.
520 WALNUT STREET - FINAL
Amy relayed that the project was a two part project and phase one was the
restoration of the cabin which is now Gretchen Greenwood's home office and
phase two is the demolition of the existing house and replacing that building.
The property is a designated historic landmark. Conceptual was granted in
1995 and extended twice and the application is for final approval. The
property is somewhat unique, narrow and long and is zoned R-6 and has a
larger side yard setback requirement. The neighborhood would not grant a
side yard variance. Staff feels the applicant has done a very good job in
breaking the building down in small components. Materials have been used
effectively.

Gretchen Greenwood, architect stated basically the building is 24 x 86
(broken up). There are ten foot setbacks in the neighborhood and the lots run
east to west. The gables have been changed since conceptual and the
building has been simplified. Three quarters of the way up is a lap siding
painted maroon red with black clad windows. A crown molding detail will go
horizontally with white vertical siding above that. A black asphalt roof is
proposed. Two cottonwood trees will be coming down. Three trees will be
relocated and additional ones planted.
Amy encouraged the applicant to not put the conifers in front of the miners
cabin because they get so big and you can't see the little miners cottage
anymore.
Gretchen agreed and her plan is to have a flower garden all around the miners
cottage.
MOTION: Melanie moved to grant final development for 520 Walnut Street
as proposed; second by Susan. All in favor, motion carried 5-0.
