Those members present were Lary Groen, Norm Burns, Jerry Michael, Terry End, Mona Frost, Florence Glidden. Also present is John Stanford of the Planning office. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OLD BUSINESS TOM THUMB BUILDING The minutes of the previous meeting were addressed by the members and approved. Groen asked if anyone knew the status of the bay window on the Hyman Court. Stanford stated that this would be discussed under the Another Gallery item of the Agenda. Groen asked about the Holy Cross Building and whether the City was going to have it historically designated. The City cannot take ownership until sometime around September. The HPC would like to request that the City Council designate that building historic. Larry Yaw, Architect, is present at this meeting to review an application, and stated that he is a member of the Holy Cross Board, and that they fully intend to research having the building designated, but they would prefer to have it done after the renovation is complete. Yaw, representing the applicant, stated that this project is finished to the point that they are happy with it. He feels that a great deal of time and energy has gone into this project, and introduced Bill Lukes and Frances Webster who have worked on the design of this project. Lukes stated that several refinements have been made since the last meeting, including the awning on Mill Street; the smaller building has more vertical windows than before, and they have taken out the small skylight window over that entrance and the elevation has been changed. All the inner court elevations have been drawn to give the members a better idea of the inner court area. Materials were discussed, and Lukes presented samples of the brick and awning that will be used. If there should be any metal trim it will be of a darker anodized color. The awning will be a dark "forrest green" and the brick a reddish tint. (Somewhat similar to the Paragon) The new building will be one half level above and below grade. They have contacted the City in regard to obtaining mall bricks for the inner court area and Mahoney has stated they will help them obtain these. The colored concrete will also be used. The wood trim will be a gray green and wine red. Stanford asked about their plans for signs and exterior lighting. Lukes stated that each occupant has been requested to submit written statement about their plans for signs. A directory will be on the old building, north side, and one on the south mall side of the building. Signs may be placed on the glass of the commercial space. The project does not really require any exterior lighting, and the inner court area, because it is so small, can virtually be lighted by the com- mercial spaces. Stairs or foot lighting going down the Hyman Street side elevation was discussed. There will be a small skylight over the doorway there but it will not protrude above the parapet. Burns suggested that any approval be conditional on no mirrored glass. Historic Preservation Committee Regular Meeting February 14, 1978 Public Hearing Groen opened the public hearing. ~ There were no comments from the general public and the hearing was closed. Groen called for a motion to approve the project. Ms. Frost so moved, conditional upon submission of the final working drawings, and that none of the glass be mirrored. Ms. Glidden seconded this motion with all members in favor, motion carroed. Ms. Glidden commended the architects on their hard work and a job well done on this project. HUTCH Preapplication Gayle Bryant is here today to review the plans for expansion of the Hutch. THis is a proposal for a 12' x 24' extension onto the rear of the existing building. There would be less than two feet between this building and LaCocina next door. The only place it would be apparent is from the rear when someone drives down the alley or to the Bank of Aspen drive up window. It is not visible from Hopkins street. This will be for studio work space only, not commercial space. The colors, Bryant stated would probably be to match the existing. There would not be any additional signing for this space. A field trip to the location is recommended. This application will be coming up for Public Hearing on March 14. However, Ms. Frost asked whether the applicant would have to come back if the purpose for the space were changed into commercial or rental soace. They would not, and this board can only go b~ the intentions stated here by the representative. LA TORTUE Preapplication Ed Hicks is present to once again discuss the proposed expansion of the LaTortue business on Durant street. The members have in the past been extremely reluctant to approve any such application for various reasons; the presentations made are inadequate and do not show those elevations, etc. as required for a formal application and follow the HPC criteria; The Chuck Wagon is an eyesore and the expansion proposed would come right up to that small business as well as to the Alcapulco Gold business; and the retailing on the sidewalk of furs and other wares is a definite de- tractment and adds to the "carnival atmosphere" of that area. At this time, the drawings being submitted are inadequte and do not show elevations as required. Hicks stated they have since re-negotiated their lease for another five years. Groen feels that none of the drawings show the ele- vations and comparisions to the surrounding buildings in that area and they would like to see a detailed rendering of the proposed expansion. He requested submission of these drawings so that the members can get an exact idea of ~at is happening in that area. Groen also expressed the concern of this group because of the out dorr display of merchandise, and asked if there were any influence Hicks could use to move the Chuck Wagon. Hicks stated that he would agree to remove the merchandise from outside if they had sufficient room inside for display. Groen stated that this could be considered at the next meeting if the renderings and possibly photos were presented. A public hearing will be set for March 14th. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Historic Preservation Committee Regular Meeting February 14, 1973 Another Gallery Preapplication This is the application by the owners of the shop Another Gallery to put a bay window in their shop. Stanford explained that one bay window has already been added illegally. This faces the Hyman Court area. This board is now being asked to approve the addition of a second window. Photos are all that have been submitted of the existing conditions. Groen requested the applicant to submit standard drawings of the proposal showing elevations, etc. He also requested that Building Inspector Clayton Meyring be contacted about the illegality of the addition of the one bay window and that something be done about it. Groen entertained a motion to deny this application and request the owners to remove the existing window and return the facade to its original state. Ms. Frost so moved~ seconded by ~$. End. Ail in favor motion carried. Tie Growth ~anagement point allocation will be made on these projects Mrrc~ 14th. The meeting adjourned at 2:30. Ellen L. Atkins,Deputy City Clerk
