Excused were Terry End and Bob Marsh. Also present was John Stanford from the planning department and Clayton Meyring from the building department. Approval of Minutes Groen asked that the minutes be approved at the next regular meeting. Old Business Groen questioned the smoked acrylic glass above the Aspen Arcades Building. Meyring responded that the last approval on it was November 11, 1975 and the drawings were sub- mitted, but the drawings did not show it. It did show a skylight above it, but nothing detailed. Meyring though' that this had been before HPC before under Ordinance #19, Series of 1973 is when they had approval of it. Groen said that the drawings that were shown to the members at the October or November meeting did not show any structure that high. Groen remembers asking if there were going to be any air conditioning units on top of the building and were assured by the architects that there were not. Meyring replied that to find out for sure, they could check with the architects for that building. It is zoned Historic and modifications such as that have to come before HPC. Stanford brought up the memo which was sent to the members on January 23, in reference to the Vending Activities at the Sinclair Site. Stanford asked if members would like him to forward it on to the Council. Members agreed to have Stanford forward it on to the Council. Stanford mentioned that he had tried to get in touch with Vera Kirkpatrick to have her report further on the historic designations. He was unable to get in touch with Vera. Stanford is trying to set up a program which looks more at just a plan for Main Street. It would go beyond that and would get into landuse as well as landscaping. This could be supported in the Historic Designation process and could be related towards the transportation planning. The Planning Department is also trying to get the Planning and Zoning more intricately involved Groen asked Stanford if he knew of any plans for the dispersal of anymore antique lights down in the Rio Grande property. Groen mentioned that the Mall Commission passed a resolution to Council asking that the rest of the lights be reserved for the downtown area. Stanford didn't know of anyother uses for them. Groen mentioned that the people who have the restaurant downstairs in the Wheeler Opera House would like to have a sign put up outside of the restaurant. Groen is suggesting that the signs are similar to the existing signs already on the building. They were suppose to appear before HPC to show the members the sign before they put it up; but did not appear. -1- Historic Preservation Committee February 10, 1976 La Cocina Motion General Store Motion Committee Comments Stanford presented the request which is from Nick Lebby who own~ La Cocina. They are going to vacate their presen' location and move to the lot to the west; a 3,000 sq.ft. lot. At present there is a shell of a building on the lot which was burned down a few years ago and is on the list of historic structure inventory. The request is to get HPC's permission to remove the structure and the other request is pre-application review of a new building that would be put in its place. Lebby presented to the members plans of the proposed building. Lebby said that he would incorporate a trash container in the rear of the building. Groen asked if there would be any elements on the roof such as air conditioning or anything that isn't shown on the drawings. Lebby mentioned that in the back of the building, he may have a hood from the stove which will be protruding from ~he building. The skylight will be two feet above the~ line, and will be like a dome. The roof will be shingles and in the front there is a possibility of two types of materials: 1) red tin, 2) the copper that oxidizes and turns rustic looking. Burns made a motion to give Nick Lebby preliminary approval to proceed on the plans of what he has shown; seconded by Frost. All in favor, motion carried. Stanford mentioned to Lebby that he will have to come before the Historic Preservation with final drawings to get final approval. Burns made a motion to grant permission to remove the existing structure from the property; seconded by Frost. All in favor, motion carried. Stanford mentioned that this is a presentation by Ed Hicks for a proposal for an extension of a front facade of the General Store on Durant Street and an addition to the back used for storage. Hicks showed sketches of what is being proposed. The front facade would be wood, the side would be cinder block and storage in the back. Meyring mentioned that Hicks will have to get a Variance from the Board of Adjustment on open space. Groen asked that there be incorporated some covered storage space so that the trash containers don't end up in the alley. Groen asked if there would be any elements on the roof that were not on the drawings. Hicks replied that there would not. Groen asked if the existing sides of the buildings would be painted. Hicks replied that that they would. Frost moved to approve pre-application for the General Store; seconded by Glidden. Burns asked that the paint on both sides of the building be incorporated into the motion and that the paint be compatible with the front. All in favor of the motion. Motion carried. Groen asked for clarification on the three victorian buildings which are next to the City Hall. Jill Wester- lind would like to put a boutique in the victorian closest to City Hall and would like to expand the building. It is a framed victorian house; however under the present zoning it cannot be expanded or added on to. This could be one way of preserving the victorian houses. Stanford replied that there are fire problems. There would be a possibility to put the use in it but cannot be expanded for two reasons: 1) fire code, 2) expanding use in a non-conforming building -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Historic Preservation Committee February 10, 1976 Committee Comments (cont ' d ) Motion Glidden left at 2:05 p.m. S~anfcrd mentioned Li,aL Chic Collins has dra;:n up f~m_ the victorian kcuses~ It would not be worth while for the Westerlind's to have a boutique in the house unless they could expand it. Stanford has discussed with Chic Collins long range plans for City Hall. The feeling is that City Hall does not have enough space and will need more more in the future. It has been discussed to try and convince Council that they should consider a right of first refusal on the Conners whenever they should decide to sell it. If the Conners should decide to sell, the City would like first choice. Burns made a motion to adjourn at 2:20 p.m. Limb-by ~ ~lyr~, ~pu~y City Clerk
