SKIER'S CHALET Chairman Clark opened the public hearing for the final design review of the addition to the Skier's Chalet. Bob Sterling, architect for 'the project, told the Commission a small addition to the restaurant was planned. This has been to the P & Z, which resulted in only positive comments. The planning depart- ment requested this project be reviewed by HPC. Clark asked if the balcony was to be used. Sterling said it would not because the square footage was not approved by P ~ Z. If they used the balcony, it would exceed the allowable FAR. There may be a possible expansion in the future. Sterling told the Commission that historically the deck areas were used to serve customers. The Commission commented they liked the proposed expansion. Chairman Clark closed the public hearing. Terry End moved to approve the addition to as presented; seconded by Majorie Brenner. motion carried. the Skier's Chalet Ail in favor, CITY HALL ROOF Assistant City engineer Jay Hammond was present to clarify for the Commission the process by which City Hall ended up with a galvanized roof. Hammond compiled a written record, most of which are HPC minutes. In March 1980, after research through potential materials, the staff recommended a low-profile seam design. This was chosen because it is excellent for weather resistance. The original material on the roof was wood shingle; there were too many concerns with this material, the major one being fire hazard. The standing seam roof was recommended to HPC and they endorsed this roof. This was sent to the state historical society. The state replied to the city that the galvanized metal roof was more appropriate for this particular building. The state historical society was willing to fund the galvanized metal roof. The city wrote back and stated they felt the standing seam roof was more appropriate; the galvanized roof was not historically appropriate nor was it aesthetically appealing. Hammond told the Commission the city also told the state historical society when the Visual Arts Center was renovated and a galvanized roof put on, it met with a lot of community reaction. The state replied to the city that they would fund a galvanized roof and would not fund any other material. The staff filled the HPC in on this in May 1980. In view of the costs and of the fire hazards with wood shingles, the choice was corrugated metal. There was a $35,000 difference for the standing seam roof. The corrugated portion of city hall roof is $19,500. The City Council decided to go with the corrugated roof in order to obtain funding and to proceed. The HPC, at that point, could register its disapproval with the Council or lend its support to the corrugated roof. The HPC felt the issue was closed at this point. Hammond told the Commission he had talked to the architect for the state historical society about a matte finish, brown corrugated roof, and they informed him they would not fund that either. The staff tried to convince the state, to no avail.
