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.

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.
