Paradise Bakery Cont'd RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Minutes for November 3rd cont'd Carter Holmes explained to the committee exactly how he would construct the building incorporating different styles of architecture into different parts of the building. The color choices of dark green and the pale yellow were approved. Terry objects to the whole concept and feels that the proposed building is unsuitable. Larry feels that the idea Mr. Holmes has will improve the corner tremendously. He also points out that this approval will only be for the three years left on the lease, when the building will probably be rebuilt and will need further review. Also, the popcorn wagon will remain and will lend it's color and Aspen tradition to that corner. The Committee approves the panels that have been submitted. The question of lighting outside was brought up by Larry. Mr.Holmes said that the lights would go under the awnings and also the interior windows will be lit. The shutters on the building were approved by all but Terry. The secretary voiced her opinion that the new building would be a great imrovement over the currently existing building and to let Mr. Holmes go ahead with his plans. That comment was accepted by the committee and the Public hearing was closed. Larry makes the motion approve the project with the outlined modifications which are the colors which have already been approved. Larry ammends his motion to include the submission of the sign and the lighting of the exterior of the building. Mona seconds the motion.
