MINUTES
SPECIAL MEETING
2nd Floor City Hall
November 1, 1989
Meeting was called to order by chairman Bill Poss with Georgeann
Waggaman, Joe Krabacher, Chris Darakis and Don Erdman present.
Charles Cunniffe, Leslie Holst and Glenn Rappaport were absent.
624 E. HOPKINS
MOTION: Georgeann made the motion to table 624 E. Hopkins to
the next meeting on Nov. 8th. Don second. All approved.
132 W. MAIN STREET - ASIA RESTAURANT - CONCEPTUAL DEVELOPMENT
Public Hearing opened.
Roxanne: The applicant has come back with a revised design.
Bill: Lots K & L were landmark designated in 1976.
Roxanne: The entire parcel is not designated. Staff is
recommending approval finding that it meets the guidelines and
that the following conditions should be met at final (see
attached memo dated October 25, 1989). The south elevation needs
to be reviewed as it appears to be off-center. Windows are
recommended to be narrow, double hung and paired.
Kevin McCaskill, architect: The door was meant to be in the
center of the gable form. We were considering using clapboard
for the siding and the windows double hung paired together. I
feel it fits well in the site as the site is narrow. The zoning
setbacks make the building envelope even narrower.
Dennis Green: The site is 1 1/2 lots, 4064 sq. ft.
Roxanne: This is one parcel and it is not separate lots.
COMMITTEE MEMBER COMMENTS
Don: This is a professional solution and the model has greater
delicacy then the drawings. I have no problem with the square
double hung on the front facade as it takes away from it being
replication.
Bill: The over hangs should be delicate.
Joe: My only concern is the height and it is a little taller
than both buildings on either side of it.
Kevin: We wanted to raise up the front porch to follow the
lines of the existing building.

Minutes of November 1, 1989
Georgeann: The height seems to be appropriate here as it is a
taller, thinner building that way. I also don't mind it be
taller than the other two buildings. I'm concerned about one
things, the employee unit in the basement. The window/light well
is shaded by the next door building.
Kevin: We agree and possibly the employee unit will be shifted
to the existing building.
Roxanne: I have a concern of the treatment between the two
buildings.
Georgeann: Possibly do a deck in the space between the two
buildings.
Chris: I like the idea of the raised front porch as it carries
with the theme of the street.
Bill: It would be nice if we could get the employee units out
of the basement and office space could be rented. Possibly
remove the employee units to an attic space. In the future the
use of story boards for each district that show all the buildings
on Main Street may be helpful.
Roxanne: What about the porch columns as they will make a
statement at street level.
Kevin: Possibly square but not turned.
Don: Square but built up.
Bill: I like the building without the railing.
Kevin: The roof will be cedar shingles.
Dennis Green, attorney: We are hoping that you will access that
this building needs to stand on its own and after we get approval
we will then look at the existing building. We may move all of
the employee housing to the existing building and make this
entire building an office building. In that way the employees
will not be in the basement. We also hope to improve the
existing building, new cedar shingle roof and repaint it. etc.
Possibly we will do something with the front entrance.
Georgeann: In regard to the color selection, the two should be
treated in a harmonious but slightly different fashion,
neutralize the unit between them.

Minutes of November 1, 1989
Roxanne: There needs to be study on the ramp.
Dennis: Where the ramp is located is the main entrance for the
elevator.
Kevin:
ramp.
It may turn out that the back is the right place for the
Roxanne: There also needs to be a study on the posts and some
pattern of a railing around the light wells.
MOTION: Don made the motion that the conceptual development
approval be granted for 132 W. Main Street subject to the
following conditions to be met at final: a) Exact materials
representation, b) Scale of fascia's and roofing needs to be
studied, c) Possible relocation of employee unit to an above
grade situation, d) Restudy location of handicap access ramp.
e) Study porch column details, f) A massing model be
resubmitted including the Asia structure, g) Develop site plan
including the existing Asia buildings and incorporating alley and
other exterior features and landscaping. Joe second. All
approved.
COMMITTEE AND STAFF COMMENTS
Roxanne: On the Elisha one skylight was approved that was more
square and not as big. We did not approve the skylight on the
west elevation of the main house. We approved one on the north
elevation and the applicant decided that they did not want it
there. Since they already had it they would like to put it on
the carriage house.
Bill: How does the board feel about skylights on the north
elevation and adding one or two more.
Joe: It is an alley elevation.
Chris: There is a need for them.
Georgeann made the motion to adjourn. Don second. Ail approved.
Meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
