CURRENT ITEMS
C000ersmith's Brew Pub
Scott Smith and Russ McCahn, representing the applicant, made the following
corrections to the Staff Report:
1. Page 1, Requests, Subtopic 4: "Install two vents.... "
2. Page 2, Topic 2, Last sentence: "The purpose is to allow visual access to
the interior of the brewery......"
3. Page 2, Topic 2, Second paragraph: "In this part of the shed, the
working functions of the kitchen....."
4. Page 2, Topic 2, Second paragraph: "The opaque bottom glass panels
will completely screen kitchen plumbing at floor level...."
5. Page 3, Topic 4: "Two Roof Vents. The operation of the kitchen... "
The applicant presented a scale model showing the detail as proposed. The two
windows, door, overhead garage door are to be removed and replaced with a
recessed entry using the original, interior brick which will be weatherproofed
with a clear coating. The entry will be framed with a freestanding brass pipe
detail. At this time, the signage detail, which will be featured on the
freestanding pipe, is incomplete. The applicant requested that the sign request
be subject to administrative review. There will be two oak doors at the
entrance with the company logo.
Also requested was the change from smoked glass to a clearer, less opaque glass
in the windows. They would be similar to the windows previously approved for
Cooper & Cooper. The top portion would be the existing smoke glass with the
bottom two feet of kickplate to be black, spandrel, opaque glass to hide the
kitchen fittings and plumbing.
Two new intake
vents are necessary for
the
function of the brewery. They will
be located next
to the recessed entry
on
the south and will be finished in
anodized bronze.
There will be no steam
or
noise emitted by these vents.
The two exhaust roof vents that have been requested came under discussion.
Mr. Frick expressed concern in terms of the visual impact where the vents exit
the roof of the older part of the building. Staff advised the Commission that
since the vents will not cover existing architectural detail, the proposal meets
the guideline requirements.
Ms. Massey made a motion to approve the proposal as submitted with the
provision that the exhaust vent visual impact be reviewed by staff and Mr.
Frick when the exact details as to the construction method, placement, and
finish are completed.
Ms. Weatherford seconded the motion.
The motion to approve passed.
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW
The procedures for administrative review were approved by Council for the
ordinance at the June 20, 1989 meeting.
Downtown Plan
Ms. VanMeter presented two copies of the final draft of the Downtown Plan to
the Commission. The Commission was encouraged to make their comments to
committee members after they review the plan.
Poudre River National Recreation Area Feasibility Study
Ms. VanMeter reviewed the premise of the study. The area would be from Taft
Hill Road to the Larimer/Weld County line. She stated that the recreation area
has federal significance in its environmental and social history. A low
intensity, passive use of the river, which would encourage social and economic
development, is envisioned with nature studies, bird watching, etc., as well as
the location of a visitor center at the now vacant power plant.
Ms. VanMeter stated that opposition to the NRA lies in two areas:
1) Landowners east of I-25 - mainly due to the impact to private property and
the history of land condemnation; and
2) Because there is no developed detailed management plan, governmental
agencies are reviewing the feasibility of the financial commitment to the area.
Meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
