Mountain Applicant - Larsen & Associates for EDAW, Inc. Request - Conceptual Review for second story addition above Food Co-op and facade changes to both Food Co-op and EDAW This proposal was presented as a Conceptual Review. Dick abstained due to a potential conflict and since the Commission did not have a quorum, no action was taken. Larry Trampe, Larsen & Associates, stated that EDAW would like to improve their entrance and add a second story to the Food Co-op. He explained the boundaries of EDAW and Food Co-op with one another. He stated that the design would tie into the old town atmosphere as well as give dominance to EDAW's entrance. He added there is a proposed greenhouse with a stairway going up to the second floor and a courtyard. He described the existing entrance of EDAW and Food Co-op. He stated the exterior would be some sort of stucco finish and that the color has not yet been selected. He added that they are also proposing to clean up the north side of the building. Sherry questioned if there was any commitment to doing the facade work on the Walnut side of Food Co-op. Larry replied no, not yet, but ,he has been in contact with the owners to see if they are going to do this. He further stated that on the front elevation they have tried to pick up some of the details of the older buildings such as long narrow windows. Wayne questioned if EDAW owned the second floor. John Renhowe, Larsen & Associates, replied that yes, they do. Larry stated the balcony has been an issue as to whether it should be kept on the building or removed. John stated that the concern was whether it was a strong design element. He added that the balcony is not useable as it is now and there is some concern about dripping water and snow melt from the balcony. He stated the balcony has been there for some time and is one of the few buildings remaining that has some of the original metal work on it. Sherry questioned the decision to do the glass shed on the side of the building rather than incorporate the stairwell into the building. 4/3/85 LPC Minute • Page 3 Larry replied that several alternatives were suggested but they chose the greenhouse to create a focal point with a courtyard. Sherry then asked if the large tree in front will be removed and if other landscape changes will be required. John stated that the tree will remain and there will be revisions of equal quality on the landscaping. Wayne asked for clarification of the design of the stairway. John explained the design of the existing and proposed stairway. Sherry asked what the material would be for the sills and lintels around the new windows of the Food Co-op facade. Larry replied that it would be a synthetic plaster material with a paint treatment. Sherry questioned if the street frontage of the second story .would be flush with the setback of the first story. Larry responded yes, it would be flush. Wayne asked about the tine frame of the start of construction. Larry replied that possibly in 2 to 3 weeks construction documents would be complete and he would anticipate the contract would start the first part of May.
