(7-0) CURRENT DESIGN REVIEW: d Town Square Suite 152 Nightclub - Awnina (Gino Campana business Ms. Tunner reported that a patio had been approved administratively and she showed slide. She said that Mr. Campana has proposed a black awning, Sunbrella acrylic fabric for the site. Ms. Tunner asked if the logo at the end of the awning would be done in all white. Mr. Campana said yes. He described that it would take the same shape as the transom at the front door and would be adjacent to the mulleins of the door. The awning would come out to the fence. One change was with the flat plate connections. The submitted drawings were noted as to the change. Ms. Milewski asked is it was to be fastened to the existing handrail. Where it was noted on the plans that it would be fastened to the existing handrails, it was crossed out. Mr. Frick said that the canopy would have to be tailored around the tube with the revised design. The column and frame would also have two cross -members added. Mr. Tanner asked if the awning would affect the line of sight in the plaza. He did not believe that the line of sight would be affected, but it should be considered each time. Mr. Short said that he did not like the black color of the awning. Mr. Hogestad moved to accept the proposal as revised in the drawing. Mr. Frick seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. (7-0) Ms. McWilliams commented that there is a building permit hold on anything in the public right-of-way while they are changing that local designation. Mr. Frank suggested that the applicant talk to Progressive Old Town Properties on this. Ms. Milewski asked if they could speed the process up. Ms. McWilliams said only if the LPC does a non-consensual designation. Trimble Block, 140 N. College Avenue -Window Security. Ms. Tunner explained regarding proposed window security grills, that applicant, Mr. Richard Beardmore, for Cache La Poudre Rifleworks, did not believe there to be a true arch to the window sign. They will also be using smaller pickets and therefore shorter finials in the grillwork. He intended to frame the sign with the pickets in order to make it look more decorative. Ms. Tunner said that he did not understand the intent of the motion made at the last LPC meeting. Ms. Carpenter was concerned that they lost the arch. The Commission recalled that the sign was drawn arched in the original submittal drawings. Ms. Tunner showed a slide of the signage. Mr. Short said that they need to see the original application. It was Mr. Frick's motion which requested that the pickets be arched with the signage. Ms. Milewski agreed and recalled that the arch was in the motion. Mr. Hogestad suggested that they be more clear. Landmark Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes April 22, 1998 Page 3 Mr. Hogestad moved to uphold the last motion. Mr. Frank suggested that everyone agree by a head shake if they want to see the arch, and that the latest drawing is unacceptable. Mr. Frick drew a recommended arched design which will be given to Mr. Beardmore. 518 Peterson, B.F. Ayers House - Repair and/or Replacement of Windows Amendment to State Tax Credit (Kate Malers) Mr. Frick dropped out of the discussion because of a conflict. Ms. Tunner explained the project. It is an amendment to Part 1 of a State Tax Credit application from June, 1995. The applicant would like to add the option of repairing or replacing four historic windows. Ms. Carpenter asked if Ms. Malers, was installing one double hung window for the big picture window. Ms. Malers said that the original application said double hung and she interprets that as a Marvin double hung. She said that the south east window in the kitchen was a later add in. She said that she needs some advice, because there is a mis-match of windows on the house. The upper south side windows are non -historic. The entire second floor windows, sill, casing, and walls were replaced after a fire. Mr. Tanner asked if only four historic windows, downstairs are left on the whole house. He asked if her ultimate goal was to replace all of the non -historic windows. Mr. Tanner added that they would be approving the tearing out of four historic windows to make all the windows in the house match. Ms. Malers explained that she does not want to switch the storms and screens out twice a year. Mr. Frick added that the front rooms of the house have already been tom down to the lath and plaster. This is an opportunity to replace the windows. The options were to do all Marvin windows or do all new windows to match the four historic windows. He suggested that they do all Marvin windows and the addition will match. Mr. Short said that he does not feel that they can approve it, if she hasn't asked for it. Ms. Milewski questioned if they are being asked if she can remove the historic windows. Mr. Frick stated that the windows are ancient and are held up by pins in holes. Mr. Tanner asked if the Commission would agree to taking out the four historic windows. Mr. Short said that he has a problem with the applicant's indecision. Mr. Hogestad preferred that she save all of the wood possible. Mr. Tanner moved to grant the applicant the option of repairing or replacing the all the windows on the house with Marvins or custom windows. Mr. Hogestad seconded the motion and added that he would like to see the dimensions of the new windows. The motion passed unanimously. (6-0) The Commission asked Ms. Malers to come back later with her selection, just in an informational format. DISCUSSION ITEMS: Landmark Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes April 22, 1998 Page 4 Standards and Guidelines for Historic Properties and Process for District Designation Ms. McWilliams discussed the following issues: Review of Non -Contributing Buildings; Color, Landscape and Fences; Interim Control; Time Involved and possibly other issues. Review of Non -Contributing Buildings Ms. McWilliams explained that under our current City code the LPC do review all non- contributing buildings in a district. This includes all alterations. The Standards and Guidelines, as currently written, would involve changing in the code so the LPC would not review non-contributing properties in the district, accept for the properties in the Old Town Historic district. Landscaping and Fences Alterations to these features should be addressed under Guidelines, unless they are historic fences, which should be retained. Interim Control Ms. McWilliams said that City Council could grant a variance if it were an issue of public health or safety. Interim control begins once a building is being considered for designation, and the process begins formally with the LPC. She discussed how this could affect homeowners, while a district is being designated. Ms. Carpenter discussed how interim control was important, because anything could happen in the meantime. Time Involved Mr. Frank suggested that the LPC allow some administrative review of alterations. Ms. McWilliams discussed how this process would affect the property owner. Ms. McWilliams talked about forming a Sub -Committee, with Ms. Carpenter, Mr. Hogestad and Mr. Tanner. OTHER BUSINESS: Friend of Preservation Award Ms. Tunner reviewed the nominations of the Harmony School, the Coy -Hoffman Barn, the Trimble/Barkley Blocks, Phil Walker and the C & S Depot and Annie's Grave. Ms. Tunner mentioned the Forrester Block Renovation and the Commission decided it was work done this year and it would be eligible for the award next year. The LPC agreed the house and the barn would likely be eligible. A potential purchaser would like to turn the barn into a performing arts center for children.
