Those members present were Larv Groen, Norm Burns~ Jerry Michaels, Terry End, Mona Frost, Gaard ~oses, and Rally Parrish. Also present is John Stanford of the Planning Office. PITKIN CENTER PUBLIC HEARING Bill Clark, as owner and developer of the property on the corner of Hyman and Hunter, is present today for the Public Hearing and Growth Management scoring on his proposed Pitkin County Bank. Mr. Clark reviewed the proposal with the members and went over the model of the proposed building. There has been one major change in this model from the one previously submitted, that being the elimination of the front walkway. Instead, a small canopy has been placed over the entrance way. There will be two signs on the building of the Pitkin logo, one on the northwest corner, and one on the tower. These will probably be of a bronze plaque design. Mike Dacon of Benedict Associates is here also to help answer questions on this project. There will be minimal exterior lighting, most of the lighting will come from inside to iluminate the foliage in the green- house. The night depository area will be lit for security purposes. Dacon showed the members a sample of the metal chosen for the roof, which is a preweathered zinc material of a darker tone than was earlier presented. Stanford asked about the second story space, and Dacon explained that the lobby will be two stories high. Angle parking will be provided on the east side. The glass on the greenhouse was discussed at length. The members are extremely concerned over the use of highly reflective or mirrored glass or glass treated in some way to prevent heat loss. Dacon did not feel that this problem would be sufficient to indicate any mod- ification at a future date. There are clear coatings, that if necessary, could be used that would not alter the appearance of the glass. The railing on the west side of the building will be of the same metal as the roof. Stanford requested that the members adjourn to do their scoring under the G~. He went over the Planning Office scores. The members adjourned to the scoring procedure for the GMS. The members reviewed their scores: Michaels total score of 15; End total score of 14.1; Burns 13.8; Frost 13.8; Groen 12.5; Moses 13.6; and Parrish 14.3 for a total average score of 13.8. Groen then opened the HPC P~blic Hearing. There were no con~ents from the public and the hearing was closed. Stanford stated that the Planning Office recommends approval of this project. Ms. Frost moved to approve the application as presented, seconded by Burns. All members were in favor, motion carried. Clark thanked the members for their time and consider- ation of this project and stated that they were going to have their Bank he~ring in March of this coming year, ASPEN MOUNTAIN BUILDING and would like to start building on this project in the fall of 1978, and open by July of 1979. The Aspen Mountain Building applicants have withdrawn from the review process. Therefore, the meeting adjourned at 2:20. Ellen Atkins, Deputy City Clerk
