Old Business; National Trust Stanford stated that he had written to the National Trust concerning their membership application, but as yet had had no word from them. Bob Marsh arrived. Mill Street Station Frost made a motion to approve the colors as per color chips submitted by Deana Brinkman. Burns seconded the motion. the It was noted by Ferrenberg that the wine would go around the trim and possibly around the top; it would be used only as an accent, or secondary color. Posts would be done only in burgundy. Ail in favor, motion carried. Brinkman then presented the plans for the skylight construction. Marsh stated that historically, the Committee should not approve. He felt however, that since the con- struction had been approved by all other powers in- volved, the Historic Preservation Committee should also approve. Groen made a motion that the Committee approve the Brinkman Building skylight as approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Building Department, after it had been approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the Building Department. Frost seconded the motion. New Business; John Woodward Ferrenberg explained that Mr. Woodward lived in a house near La Cocina, which was within the proposed historic district. She further explained to Mr. Woodward that any exterior remodel on a building lo- cated in the District came before the Historic Pre- servation Committee before a building permit was granted. Woodward stated that he put up a fence, a wooden walk- way, had cleaned up the alley and the back yard, had put up a wrought iron gate, and had painted the house. He further mentioned he had just begun the project of painting a mural on the outside of the house. He had also built an enclosed porch and put a new roof on the house. Stanford noted that for a project of such scale as enclosing a porch, a building permit must be granted by the Building Inspector. For the building permit, the project needed tO be approved by this Committee. Also of interest was the paint color. Groen stated that the Committee was mainly concerned with the way the porch, had been enclosed, and its compatibility with the historic character of the surrounding area. -1- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting John Woodward, continued County Courthouse Proposed Historic District; Boundaries Historic Preservation Committee May 24, 1974 It was also noted that the mural also was not com- patible with the historic character of the district. Ferrenberg suggested that the house be restored to a solid color as soon as possible, and that the porch be-removed or redone to promote the character and feeling of the house before the porch was enclosed. It was noted that a permit was necessary to tear down the porch. She requested that he submit plans to the Building Inspector, and go through the proper procedures for a building permit. Ferrenberg made a motion to recommend to the Building Inspector that he take no action on the present vio- lation, if Woodward submits plans for modification and renovation within a reasonable amount of time. Seconded by Burns. Ail in favor, motion carried. It was noted that the Building Inspector should also notify the owners of the property that their tenants were in violation of several City ordinances. Hal Clark, Pitkin County Building Inspector, was pre- sent to show the plans for repainting the Courthouse exterior. Ted Mularz and Lary Groen had both prepared color renderings for the building trim and cupola as well as the building itself. Groen stated he had picked the trim colors of green and gold, and the brick red color for the cupola, because they were traditional victorian colors, and that the white, the present color of the cupola, tended to create a Georgian, neo-classic look to'the building, which it is not. Colors were also repre- sentative of the environment surrounding the Court house. It was noted that these were not the original colors of the building. Clark stated he felt that it was premature to vote on this, and stated that the Committee should wait to look at Mr. Mularz's rendering. It was also noted at this time that improvements being made to the Crystal Palace were not being made as directed by the Committee previously; bricks did not match, white stucco on the north wall, which was not compatible. Marsh stated that this showed the need for a set of criteria. Ferrenberg noted that the Historic District would be much easier to justify if the boundaries were changed from Aspen St. to Monarch St., and from Dean St. to Durant, in that the City had previously designated these boundaries for various other plans and projects. Those historic structures then outside the proposed district could approached after the district was es- tablished. -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Proposed Historic District; Boundaries Notice of Public Hearing Wheeler Opera House Historic Preservation Committee Ma~ 24, 1974 Burns made a motion to change the boundaries of the Historic District to Aspen St. on the west and Durant on the south.

Florence Glidden left the meeting. City Attorney noted that a resolution needed to be adopted by the Committee in response to the public comments received. Stuller suggested holding a special meeting before the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, June 4, at 4:00 P.M. to adopt this resolution formally. Stanford noted that a map and legal notice would be published June 6. Frost left the meeting. The Planning Office suggested that individual members contact property owners in the area under considera- tion.
