Staff representative Sunny Vann of the Planning Office was also present. Election of a Temporary Officer Burns made a motion to appoint Groen as acting Chair- man in Jon Seigle's absence. Mona Frost seconded the motion. Ail in favor, motion granted. Approval of Minutes The Committee approved the minutes of October 23, 197~ 01d Business Sunny Vann presented research he had done on news- paper stands per determinati~of location. Approxi- mately nine (9) to twelve (12) were licensed and approved by the City and location was determined by the assistant City Manager. Property owners were consulted on these stands. Additional newspaper stands must be approved by City Council. Those which are located on a public right-of-way do have to be licensed, those located on private property do not. Groen suggested in the future the stands be placed back to back to discourage advertising on the back sides. Vann stated the Committee decided not to act on the request for approval of Don Ball's graphic at the Mill St. and Hopkins building. It will be deferred until a later date. Don Ball requested to appear before before the Committee at the November 27, 1979 meeting. Groen felt that the project should be re- viewed outside the historic district first. The normal procedure requires H.P.C. to review those pro- jects with a building permit. Don Ball assured Vann that he has the consent of the owner of the building to proceed with the graphic; which is required by the Sign Code and is essential for review by the H.P.C. Groen stated he would like to request that Council directly assign H.P.C. this review, if that be their preference. Groen questioned the construction of the covered serving area between the Mother Lode Restaurant and the Wheeler Opera House. The structure was con- structed without a building permit or a review. He also questioned modifications on original plans pre- sented to H.P.C. on Smuggler Lodge. Vann stated that a letter was drafted requesting Dave Jone's appear- ance before H.P.C., regarding those modifications. Seigle had informed Vann at an earlier date that the matter had been taken care of. KSPN Antenna, Floradora Building James Stanley, Chief Engineer of KSPN gave the pre- application review presentation. Stanley presented photographs and a life size scale to the Committee. Vann stated that Planning and Zoning approved the occupation of the Floradora Building by KSPN with the stipulation that the installation of the antenna be approved by H.P.C. The antenna would not be seen from the street. Groen questioned the color and possible enlargement of the antenna. It is silver with a flat finish, with no other attractions. There is no possibility for enlargement. Burns made a motion to approve preapplication and final review of the antenna on the Floradora Building. Frost second- ed the motion. Ail in favor, mO~io~ granted. -2- ouncml Chamber~--- The "Stalker" Sport Shop Fischer Residence Ed Robinson, Manager and Don Westerlind gave the preapplication review presentation. Westerlind pre- sented photographs of the building th the Committee. They wished to change the color of the wood and add an awning to the building. The two (2) doors will be changed to four (4) doors. Photographs of the two (2) signs were presented. The sign on the gmound level will protrude out from the side of the building. Groen suggested carrying out the colors all around the building, instead of just one side. The center doors will be left open in the summer to accommodate the raft trip information stand. There are two spot- lights existing over the side windows, they may be changed to underneath the awning to illuminate the windows. The awnings will meet the Fire Code require- ment. Phase I will include removal of existing sid- ing and blocking, fire resistent material and sheath- ing, new graphics, new awnings and fresh paint will be applied. Phase II will involve removal of existing doors and adjacent brick work to be replaced with wood and glass store front doors. Groen suggested that if the doors are not completed at the present time they must be done at a given date in the future. Groen stated that the downtown area could use some highlighting, the only means now are the street lights Westerlind stated their building will be illuminated on either side. Groen asked Vann how the Planning Office felt about the project. Vann stated that they felt it to be a definite improvement.
