also a misspelling of Marsh's name. Burns moved to approve

Aspen Arcades Remodel Don Fleisher wasthere to present the current plans for the
remodel of the Aspen Arcades building. He sh~wed the old
plans which they had determined was not feasible because of
oldness of the middle of the building and it would also cost
two to three times as much to build onto the middle. They
would be changing the cornice on the building. He noted
that no colors had been selected yet but that they were
considering having Geri Cavanaugh of California work on that
part. He noted that they would also be adding a skylight.
Groen questioned whether it was a final plan they were seeing
and it was noted that they wereapplying for a building permit
now. Burns said that before they can go through final
approval, they must have final plans submitted to the
Building Inspector. Stanford also thought that it would be
nice to have a ~icture of the proposed remodel which could
be printed inthe paper. Applicants felt that this was their
final e~cept for final color's picked out and asked when
they could come back for final. Secretary noted that she had
already published in the paper for their public hearing to
be on their next meeting date of April llth.

Arcades for rework of the facade as shown on the drawings
presented today. Mrs. Frost seconded. All in favor,
motion carried.
Old Business:
Weather Tower
Stanford showed members a memo he had received from Jim Roark
stating that he had talked to Chief Clapper about using the
tower on the Firehouse for the equipment and the Chief had
advised him that the tower would be a poor place because
of the vibrations from the siren and also the moisture.
Members agreed that they should give approval for the use
of the tower on City Hall but were concerned that he use
the existing one instead of constructing another one.
Motion
Burns moved to approve the tower on City Hall but that Roark
should try and utilize the existing tower that is already
there and if that is not feasible then put in another tower
adjoining the old one. Mrs. Frost seconded. Ail in favor,
motion carried.
NEW BUSINESS: Stanford was asked about the City Hall renovation and he noted
City Hall Renovation that it would be strictly structural in nature. He pointed
out that the rods which hold the structure together would
probably be reworked and replaced with steel columns for
stability. Groen questioned whether they would beremoving
the columns in the Council room and Stanford said that it
was a possibility. Groen also questioned whether they would
be removing the starshaped bolts since these were historical
and Stanford said that they would try and keep them in.
Stanford also was asked if there would be any exterior work
done and he replied in the negative. Groen was also
concerned over the public address system in the Councilroom
since it is so poor and Stanford thought that they might even

Request for "H"
Motion
consider changing the councilroom to the third floor.
Stanford was questioned whether they should treat all the
requests as one motion or not and Stanford thought that it
would be the most efficient way. Burns pointed out that
neither Aspen Arcades nor Ute City needed designation because
both were within their "H" district. He questioned whether
they should have a designation or plaque on the building
and it was noted that the historic core was marked on the
zoning map. Michael thought that in the case of the
Cowenhoven building, they should help to get it on the
National Register. He also noted that the Temple Allen
hQuse (7th & Main) was asking for designation, which he
had not been aware of, and Stanford explained that they
needed the "H" in order to have offices in the building
according toi.~he code.
Michael moved to grant approval to proceed with the
procedure involved to get these buildings designated
historic. Seconded by Ms. End. All in favor, motion
carried.
Groen asked the secretary to notify any other buildings that
will have to come back in for final approval that they
must schedule for 15 days notice before the public hearing.
Mrs. Frost moved to adjourn and Burns seconded. Ail in
favor, meeting adjourned at 3:00 p.m.
