Aslo present was Stanford of the Planning Office. Project Review Incredible Edibles Meyring was present to explain the application from Incredible Edibles. Incredible Edibles have made an application to build an enclosure around the refrigerator which is behind their restaurant. The reason trey have to build a fire-proof enclosure around the refrigerator is because the area is included in the Fire Zone 41 area. The protective covering is simply a square box about 10x12 feet. It will be four feet away from the electric meters. The protective covering does conform to the building codes. Groen asked if the protective covering for the refriger- ator was visible from Hopkins. Meyring stated it was hidden from view by the jewlery store. There is 10 feet in the alley in addition to the four feet that is required. Groen questioned if the trash pick-up would be interfered with. Meyring stated he didn't foresee any problem. Stanford stated that from the planning department's point of view, they are recommending preu liminary approval if the protective covering is painted a compatible color. Motion Burns made a motion to approve the Incredible Edibles application; seconded by Frost. All in favor, motion carried. Aspen Arcades Skylight Stanford presented the Aspen Arcades plans to the members. Groen asked Meyring to go over the plans with the members. Stanford stated the type of skylight is not shown in the drawings; only that the skylight is a dome type and the height is not mentioned. Nothing would be visible from the ground below. The skylight is planned to be where the water fountain was in the square. Groen was objecting to the fact that the Aspen Arcades building had a skylight above the building and it was not presented on the plans when the building was given approval. Meyring and Stanford felt the skylight did not have any overwhelming negative affect and the form of the skylight meets with the criteria. Groen said he would talk to Don Fleisher and ask him about the skylight personally. Sporthaus Linder Stanford asked members if they would have any objection if the window on the Mill Street side of Sporthaus Linder was changed without the request coming before the Committee members. They would like to change the aluminium window with wood molding. Members felt it would be an improvement and because it is so minor, they would not have to appera before HPC. Approval of Minutes Groen asked the following corrections be made to the minutes of February 10, 1976: Second page, second paragraph, ninth line, the word "sky" should be "roof"; page 3, first paragraph, delete the first sentence, it has no relevance. Burns made a motion to approve the February 10, 1976 minutes as corrected; seconded by Frost. All in favor~ motion carried. -1- Historical Preservation Committee March 9, 1976 Old Business Floradora (future development) Frost asked the following correctins be made of the January 13 minutes: page 2, line 21 from the bottom, the word "Boomerang" be changed to "Bavarian"; and to remove the phrase '~to take the train off Independence Pass". Burns made a motion to read the writing of the January 10, 1976 minutes as being the general idea of the meeting; but beyond that they are impossible to figure out. The motion was seconded by Glidden. All in favor, motion carried. Groen asked the secretary to the committee to send Arthur Langenkamp an application so Langenkamp could apply as an alternate member to the Historic Preservation Committee. J.D. Muller was also suggested to ask to apply as an alternate member. Stanford mentioned that Jerry Michaels had done the photography for Main Street and it is finished. Groen asked the secretary to check to see if there will be a quorum for the March 23, 1976 HPC meeting. Frost mentioned she would not be present. A letter was sent to Groen from Russell Pielstick in reference to questions regarding what Pielstick could do with the Floradora. The questions and the responses which Groen and Stanford gave their recommendations to are as follows: 1) If an "H" designation is obtained, would a restaurant be an acceptable use? The response was -- It would be an acceptable use if Historic Desig- nation is obtained and if the parking is provided by way of the alley and if it is a conditional use which would entail the restaurant request for the Floradora to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission. The planning office has received from the owners of the property requesting Historic Designation of the property. 2) If an "H" designation is obtained, would all four lots or only the two on which the house sits fall under that overlay district? Stanford's response was the planning office recommends that all four lots fall under the overlay district because Pielstick would like to build a building to be compatible with the Floradora. 3) If all four lots should fall under the overlay district, would it be necessary that development on the lots match the archi- ~ectural style and detail of the existing house? Stanford's response was it should be compatible in scale, materials etc. Groen replied he had talked with Pietstick and they plan to have the additional building match as closely as possible with the Floradora. The new building would be commercial space office. Groen has mentioned to Pielstick that historic zoning would be required before applying for commercial space or the building permit for the restaurant. Pielstick would enclose the porch of the Floradora so it will look like an enclosed sunroom. There will be double hung windows that drop down into a low wall so the whole thing could open up during the summer. The veranda porch will be the primary restaurant and there will be a small additon on the rear for the kitchen. The traditional detail will be kept. Pielstick would like to do a three story addition and that could not be done because the new zoning requirement in 0-2 is twenty eight feet. The restaurant would be on the first floors offices and storage on the other floors. Stanford suggested to Groen to have Pielstick go ahead with the procedures for the Floradora to get an "H" designation. -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Historical Preservation Committee March 9, 1976 Mall Presentation Groen felt because the mall is being completely changed, the HPC should be concerned with some part of it. Stanford suggested the members to communicate with Tony Coleman as to which buildings are designated as Historic Buildings and maybe Coleman could work something out with the paving pattern in front of the buildings. Groen suggested that because so many buildings have names, to incorporate into cast blocks in front of the buildings the name of that building so people can see the name and get a beeter feeling of the history of the town. Groen mentioned the County Commissioners are having an adver- tising campaign. The County Commissioners have hired a publicity firm to do a series of humoursly oriented radio and newspaper adds to educate people on the responsibility of being a dog owner. For the next HPC agenda, it was suggested to present the photographs of Main Street. Stanford feels the criteria will be simple for Main Street. The character of Main Street is more than just victorian houses and lodges. Thus, because of its diversity there can't be anything that specific. An example, therefore, are the newly constructed buildings will be in scale with adjacent buildings that are already constructed. Burns made a motion to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 2:20 p.m. Lib~D~ M./ K~Ym/ Deity City Clerk
