Ms. Weatherford moved approval of the nomination of the Replogle/Bennett House at 314 East Mulberry. Ms. Kullman seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0. CURRENT DESIGN REVIEW: WMMFMnW,,j1• •.0 r J'Aime McClure and Mark Kling introduced their ideas for replacing the torn awning on the side of the building and the worn awnings in the front. They plan on waiting until next summer to expand the trash receptacle area, and will do so only if Foxfire Property Management is agreeable. The awnings under consideration would be similar to the current ones, with maroon as the base. White will be used as an accent, with green trim along the side. The Pasta Jay's logo will be on the large awning on the side. The rails will be painted in dark green trim and they will stay with the muted colors of Old Town in general. They will be talking with their neighbors at Whispers to see about replacing their awnings at the same time, so that all the building awnings would match. Mr. Frank asked if the awnings will have the same straight edge and Mr. Kling said they would. When asked for general remarks about the design, Mr. Tanner said he saw no problems. Ms. Carpenter urged Pasta Jay's to encourage the co -tenants to replace their awnings at the same time because the old awnings will look particularly wom next to the new ones. In discussing the possible future construction of an expanded trash receptacle area, Mr. Tanner commented that he prefers a solid construction to the current wood latticework because the latticework tends to fall apart. Mr. Frank suggested that Pasta Jay's contact other businesses in the vicinity that might be affected by the construction of a new trash area. He recommended that the businesses consider more frequent trash pick-ups as an alternative to building more trash areas. Ms. McClure and Mr. Kling will return with proposed drawings and further plans at a later meeting. Laodmvk Preservation Commission Regular Meeting Minutes January 5, 1994 Page 3 DISCUSSION ITEMS: At a December City Council meeting, City Council members Gina Janett and Gerry Horak asked for a recommendation regarding a demolition ordinance. Mr. Frank did some research and prepared information for Commission members regarding how other cities have handled this issue. He presented a demolition denial -type ordinance. After some discussion, the Commission felt that it was interested in pursuing a delay ordinance that would provide for public notice. The delay would provide time for citizens. to work with an applicant to fed alternatives. The delay would also provide time for the LPC to consider involuntary landmark designation, if the building was important enough. Restrictions on demolition might include requiring a post - demolition plan and requiring up to, but no longer than, six months for consideration of options. The Commission also discussed ways of handling requests for partial demolition; extending a demolition -by -neglect ordinance to apply to local landmarks as well; and use of an emergency moratorium on demolition. Mr. Frank was asked to prepare a revised ordinance for review at the adjourned meeting on January 17, 1994. Mr. Tanner departed at this point. OTHER BUSINESS: Mr. Felix Lee, Building Permits and Zoning Director, will be going before City Council on February 15 with his recommendations on the UCBC. He included a copy of the text showing the change reflecting LPC input from the previous meeting regarding the inclusion of nationally designated landmarks. The change adds National Register -listed buildings to be covered by the UCBC. Ms. Weatherford moved approval of the UCBC as amended and W. Hogestad seconded the motion. The motion paused 4-0. Ms. Tunner reported that the CLG Grant for the Overland Trail was submitted December 15. Ms. Tunner also reported that the Cunningham Corner Barn was found to be eligible for the National Register, but required a memo of agreement regarding being moved. The Colorado Historical Society is about to review a grant for the relocation of the Barn. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 p.m. Submitted by Diane Slater, Secretary.
