Those members present were Lary Groen, Norm Burns, Terry End, Mona Frost, Jon Siegle, Gaard Moses, and Florence Glidden. Staff representative was Jim Reents. APPROVAL OF MINUTES: The minutes of June 27, 1978 were addressed by the members. The minutes were approved as presented. ADDITION TO THE AGENDA: Groen wished to add to the agenda the building of Perkins' Greenhouse. The motion was approved by the committee members. EAGLES BUILDING: Architect Jerry McCarthy was there to talk about his design on the Eagles Building. He talked about dividing the building into three equal segments by the columns. They would have to move the columns but put steel beams for support. Then they will put up three equal awnings and bay windows. The awnings would be retractable, and the lighting would occur behind them. There will high doors on the floor level that would open as french doors. It will have a delicate iron railing to keep people from falling onto the sidewalk. The line of the awnings will go across level. PUBLIC HEARING: Groen opened the Public Hearing. No comments from the public. The Public Hearing was closed. CHANGE OF MEETING: Jim Reents requested that the next Historical Preservation Meeting be held on the 29th of August. All'in favor. Motion was granted. M&W VENTURES: Welton Anderson was present to discuss the project that would be west of the Isis theater. It is a 3000 square foot lot, and would have 4500 square feet for the commercial core. They will try to keep the height, the rhythm, the scale, and the massing in scale with Mill Street. Most of the green area will remain much intact along with the statue. The building will be 2/3rds in the ground and 1/3rd above the ground. The materials suggested for the project are: 1. sandblasted concrete- which is similar to the 620 E. Hyman St. 2. black slate 3. bronze glass set in bronze frames with sky lights 4. polished brass graphics. The colors will be light gray, black slate, polished brass, and bronze brass and frame. Moses felt that the 620 E. Hyman St. color is extremely drastic. If M&W Ventures color is that, it would be very drastic too. Frost felt that considering that it is a modern building, you should not make it more victorian. PUBLIC HEARING: FLORODORA: PERKINS GREENHOUSE: COMMITTEE COMMENTS: There will be no elevator nor a~rest~ura~t. There will be a ramp for the handicap. The top floor will be offices and the bottom floor will be shops. Motion for approval. Ail in favor. The motion was granted. Groen asked that a public hearing for M&W be scheduled for the next meeting on the 29th of August. The motion was granted. Russ Pielstick came to present two bills to the Committee members. Pielstick stated that on May 12th, Groen called to say that the colors on the Florodora were not the colors that they had agreed upon. 'The painters were sent home. Pielstick then looked up old minutes and could not find anything about colors. On November 24, 1975, City Council voted thatthe HPC would no longer concern itself with color. The bills consisted of $480.00 for the painters, and $70.00 for Pielstick's time for research. Groen responded that they would address the City Council's directive to the HPC that they were not to repeat color. Groen stressed that it only concerned new buildings. Groen asked secretary Realmuto to refer the matter to the City Attorney. It would be located on the SW corner on 4th and Main Streets. Perkins would like a greenhouse in her backyard, that would be used strictly for residential purposes. The greenhouse would be 18'x20' It would have a translucent plastic and a sloping glass ceiling. The planters will be raised 2 feet inside to have area to grow the large growing plants. The colors will match the existing house. They called a vote. End first the motion and Frost seconded it. The motion was approved. Burns felt that the Committee should send the Florodora a bill for $480.00 for putting up the fench, without the committees approval. Groen stated that the original drawings for the Florodora were lost. Frost would like someone to look at the back of the Mesa Store. Between the grease on the back, the holes in the interior, and broken windows, something should be done to fix it up. Burns felt that something should be done about Arthurs'storing trash behind the restaurant. Groen would like to see on the next agenda an election for the officers. The meeting adjourned at 2:30.
