ThDse members present were Terry End, Bob Marsh, Florence Glidden, Gaard Moses, and Mona Frost. Also present was John Stanford of the Planning Office. Approval of minutes Due to the absence of both the Chairman and acting Chairman, the meeting was called to order by the Secretary. Nominations were held for a new acting chairman. Ms. End nominated Mona Frost, all members were in favor. The roll was called and Ms. Frost asked for a motion to approve the minutes. Marsh so moved, all in favor, motion carried. OLD BUSINESS Mr. Bill Lipsey was present at this meeting. He has appeared before this committee previously, to represent Mrs. Thallberg in her unofficial application to re- model her house into a book store. Mr. Lipsey stated his concern over the fact that at the previous meeting it was stated that the HPC would send a memo to the building inspector giving their unofficial approval for the permit to build a foundation under the residence on Main Street. The minutes were reviewed, and Mr. Lipsey was informed that this committee had not decided to send a memo, but Chairman Groen had polled each of the members as to their unofficial opinion, and that this stood as a matter of record. This does not seem to be sufficient for the building inspector. The question that is being put before this group about the foundation either for the existing residence or for the new addition inclusive will be addressed under the new business section of this agenda. Terese David Residence Shoenberg Residence Stanford informed the group that there will be a joint public hearing on October 19th with the HPC and the P & Z on the historical designation of the Shoenberg Residence and Terese David's Residence. This will be held at 5:00, in conjunction with the regular P & Z meeting. Thallberg Residence Mr. Lipsey again is representing Mrs. Thallberg in her unofficial application to this committee to get their unofficial approval for a foundation permit. TtIis committee must give their permission to move a historic structure. The application is to move the residence, as is, put down not only the new foundation for that residence, but for the new structure that will be erected on that site. Main Street has not, as yet, been approved as Historic District, therefore this committee cannot approve their putting the foundation under the extension. If the owner does go ahead an place the foundation and the Historic District is not approved, they will have to accept responsibility for having it removed. Lipsey once again went over the proposed plans that cover two lots. The house will be moved over some five feet from its present location. Lipsey also presented plans, which werenot available at the first application presentation. It was the gen- eral feeling of the members of this committee, that if the owner wants to take the responsibility for removing the foundation if the Historic District is not approved, HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMITTEE Regular Meeting September 28, 1976 Gondola Ski Shop Arthur's Restaurant Pre-Application Thallberg Residence OTHER BUSINESS Then there should be no problem. Marsh moved to approve the building of the foundation for the entire project, with the understanding that the owner accepts the responsibility of removing it if the Historic District is not approved. The motion was seconded by Ms. End. All in favor, motion carried. This is not to be considered preliminary approval. The Gondola Ski Shop has requested to be removed from the agenda. Welton Anderson is before this committee representing the owners of Arthur's Restaurant in their pre- application review. The application is to add on in the rear of the building for new kitchen facilities, and new rest room facilities. The problem at this point is that the Health Department will not allow this restaurant to open for the season without some changes being made in the two facilities which are inadequate at this point. The existing space is 2500 sq. ft., and the application is to extend this to 4000 sq. ft. This will also accomodate the parking requirements set by the P & Z. The storage shed outside will be removed. The proposed changes are to bring this building up to as many codes as possible. Anderson proceeded to go over the plans for this building. The menu will remain the same at breakfast, but in the evening will be a Chinese Dinner menu, and there- fore there will be a need for storage space under the building so that supplies can be kept in bulk supply. The 4000 sq. ft. includes this underground storage. The colors will basically remain the same, but will be softer, more muted. There is basically no real change in the front facade of the building. Ms. End moved to approve the plans as preliminary approval. Seconded by Ms. in favor, motion carried. submitted.for Glidden, all Mr. Lipsey went over the proposed plans for the re- modelling of the Thallberg residence. This has been previously discussed. There will be a wrought iron fence around the front of the facade with some land- scaping. There will be a wood sidewalk connecting the sidewalk and the parking in the rear. There is a slope of about one foot over the area, therefore the front will be about a foot higher off the ground than the rear. The interior will basically remain the same, with different rooms being used for different books. There will be ~ mezzanine on the second story with a skylight to let in more light. This will not be the plastic bulb type and will be flush with the roof. There will be a studio type apartment in the building also, as employee housing. It was the general consensus of this committee that they had no problem with the design, as has been stated at the previous meeting. There should be no problem in the pre-application presentation. The members, after the previous meeting, had adjourned to inspect the North Beach Leather application. Ms. Frost stated that they had unofficially recommended that the applicant move the door closer to the street and further west. Groen had been delegated to check with building inspector Clayton Meyring to make sure that the plans for the Aspen Grove were adhered to when constructed. There may be some discrepancy in the plans presented to this committee and the con- struction. RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves HISTORIC PREVERVATION COMMITTEE Regular Meeting September 28, 1976 Fisher Residence Ms. Frost inquired whether the research for the historic designation on the ~isher Residence had been completed. Stanford stated that it had, and this will be addressed at the next meeting, which will be October 12th. Change in By-Laws Marsh stated that there needed to be a vote on the change in the By-laws to read: "every second and fourth Tuesday at 1:00." A vote was called, the members voted in favor, with abstension by Gaard Moses, and a no vote by Terry End. The members adjourned at 2:00. Ellen L. Atkins, Deputy City Clerk
