Also present was John Stanford, of the Planning Office and Building Inspector Meyring. Approval of Minutes Groen noted that on the first page of the June 13th minutes, under the Sinclair Building, it should be large white panel not "sign". He also noted that under the Winter Shop, it should be "concrete" block rather than country. Burns noted that it was Silver "ton" Enterprises rather than King and it wasn't Phil Sinclair but Phil Sullivan. Motion End moved to approve the minutes as amended and Michael seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Hyman Ave. Corp. Final Architect Ted Mularz and Owner Wendy Morse came to give the final presentation for the building to be put on the property between the Prospector Lodge and Dr. Barnard's Building. Mularz noted taht they had two sets of plans with only the exterior changing. There had to be put a stairway from Hyman through to Wagner Park and also to satisfy building code. a ramp had to be put in in the front of the building for handicapped persons. Mularz said that they had originally wanted to plant flowers along the sidewalk but it was not allowed by the code so they will add planters 20" high. Groen questioned whether they would need an encroachm~ent for them and Mularz felt that his client had already had to go through too many City organizations and they would rather not put anything in. Building Inspector noted that the encroach- ment wouldn't be necessary. Groen asked about the elevation for the west end detail and Mularz said it would be brick colored plaster - the same color as the Wheeler Opera House. They would repeat the arches and spanderals would have a cedar siding. Groen asked if they would be stained wood or natural and Mularz noted it would be natural with oils put on. Mularz noted that he was having the painting specs. typed out and would send a copy to the HPC - the specs stated all the colors he was indicating to them today. Groen asked for any public comments, and since there were none, he closed the public hearing. Motion Marsh moved to accept the project as presented to them at this meeting by Mr. Mularz. Michael seconded. Groen asked if there would be a metal rail and its color with Mularz noting that there would be one with it either being black or concrete color. Ail in favor, motion carried. Mr. Mularz said he would bring to the secretary a copy of the color specs for the file. Winter Shop - Final John Rosolak, Architect and owner Rick Henry presented the final plans for the remodeling of the Winter Shop. Mr. Rosolak noted that this was a rerendering of the outside plan. Groen said that this building was the only building on that block that has some character and since the brick is so classic it elimination could be detrimental and start a trend towards contemporary which would destroy the character of the whole area. He questioned if they would do anything to preserve the brick if the HPC gave approval. Rick Henry said that he had felt at their previous meeting with the HPC that not all members were this opposed to the change. He reiterated that he felt the need to change the whole facade in order to compete with Sporthaus Lindner. -1- HPC 6-27-75 Winter Shop, cont'd Marsh questioned what recourse the HPC would have if Lindner also wanted to go contemporary. Burns said that, although not present at the first meeting with the applicant, after looking at the plans, he felt it was an improvement over the "gingerbread" effect, despite having to cover up the brick. Mrs. Glidden asked why they couldn't put in another window in the back and Meyring explained that they can put in a window but that it must be diamond wire glass. Ms. End felt that it was a design problem and if it meets their design critieria, then they have not other choice but to grant the request. Michael said that he was sympathetic with the applicant but felt that there must be some way of treatment which would change the windows for more display area and yet still retain the brick. Stanford noted that wood was appropriate in the smaller buildings in town but the difficulty was in orientation. Stanford felt that for compatibility sake, they have an opportunity to set a precedent with this building. Stanford said that he most objected to the unequal spacing of the project. Groen asked why they couldn't do an up and down rather than diagonal and Rosolak noted that the building had just seemed to lend itself to diagonal. Groen noted that they were charged with analyzing the designs for compatibility and based on precedents. This treatment had no precedent and the direction of the siding was the only problem with the design. Motion Rosolak and Henry asked for a private consultation out in the hall and when they returned they offered to go with vertical siding. Groen asked about the width of the boards and Rosolak said it was typically random leaves. The colors would be aspen colored in a greenish-brown with an accent color of white on the sign. Groen questioned how far the siding would go down the alley and it was noted that ecause of the combustiability factor, they could only go la_limited length. Groen asked for public comments, there being none, he closed the public hearing. Burns moved to approve the final plans for the Winter Shop with vertical siding and with the colors presented at this meeting. Mrs. Glidden seconded. All in favor, motion carried. Groen asked about the color of the back and Rosolak noted it was concrete with Henry adding it was a brownish-orange which will stay the same after the remodeling. Old Business: In regards to the Sinclair building, Groen related that the Mayor was under the impression they had given permission for an illegal sign on the Silverton portion of the it but Burns noted that they had corrected the minutes to note that it wasn't a sign but a white panel. Groen felt that they should get some guidance from the City Attorney on all the structures being allowed on the property and especially since many might be considered temporary structures. Also under question was whether the Indian Teepees behind the Chuck Wagon had received a building permit. Secretary was to ask City Building Inspector, who had left the meeting, to explain these at the next meeting. Groen said that in reference to getting guidance from the Council, he would draft a letter to Council in regards to this problem. New Business Groen brought up the possibility of changing the meeting date and time to tuesdays at 1:00 instead of 2:00. Michael said that this time would be better for him and other members were in favor of the change also. Groen cited his reasons for changing the date for better publishing of cases and also would be easier on members who would like to three day weekends. -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Historical Preservation Committee June 27, 1975 Motion Michael moved to change the Friday meeting time to tuesdays of each month and the time from 2:00 to 1:00 P.M. of any given month.
