Commission members present included Wayne Sundberg, Michael Ehler, Carol Tunner, Dick Beardmore, Sally Ketcham, Holly Richter and Jennifer Carpen- ter. Staff members present included Sherry Albertson -Clark, Elaine Kleckner, Edwina Echevarria and Kayla Ballard. Black's Glass - 256 Linden Applicant - Ray Dean, Black's Glass Request - Approval of garage entry Ray Dean, applicant, stated that Black's Glass is presently at 320 Jeffer- son but will soon be moving to 256 Linden. He stated that at one time there was a garage door on the Linden Street side. With the nature of his busi- ness, he needs access off the Linden Street side. It takes four weeks to get a garage door installed. Pending approval, he will demolish the opening on Linden and place plywood there until the garage door comes in. If needed, he will paint the plywood white. There is an existing curbcut in the sidewalk which will remain. The door is white baked enamel aluminum and will blend into the building. Carol asked if the two bottom sections are paneled and the three top panels glass. Mr. Dean replied that the three top panels are glass and the one bottom is paneled. The door is 12 foot wide by nine foot in height. Dick asked if the trim on the window of the storefront is mill finished aluminum. Mr. Dean replied that the storefront is mill finished and the windows are white. Carol asked if the alarm system will be placed around the door. Mr. Dean stated that they will probably remove the alarm system around the windows because he does not like the looks of it and it will not be functional. Michael asked if the second floor windows will be replaced. Mr. Dean stated that the owner of the building has not reached any decision on this as of yet. Michael asked if the door to Joe's Upholstery is wood or metal. Mr. Dean replied that it is a wood door. Wayne asked if they will be using the entire building which includes the southeast part of the building. Mr. Dean replied that they will be using the whole first floor which does include the southeast portion of the building. LPC Minutes - Sept. 17 1986 Page 2 • Carol asked if he owns the building or is he leasing and, if so, who owns the building. Mr. Dean replied that they are leasing the building with an option to purchase from Leona Sand, who used to have Major Motors. Mr. Dean added that the window that currently is filled with plywood will be replaced with glass. Sally asked when the building was built. Dick replied that it was built in the middle 1930's. Dick asked if the proposed door is wider than the place where it will be installed. Mr. Dean replied that the door will be the same width. Dick moved to approve the application as submitted. Sally seconded the motion. The motion to approve passed 7-0. OTHER BUSINESS Sherry announced her resignation as the Historic Preservationist and intro- duced Elaine Kleckner as the interim Historic Preservationist. She stated that Edwina will still be involved with the Commission. — Sherry gave an update on several violations that have been written and stated some of these will be coming before the Commission sometime in Octo- ber. Some of these violations included: 223 Linden, Downing and Leach building; Old Town Craft Shoppe, who are tenants on a rent-free basis until a rent - paying tenant comes along. This is a temporary nature and should not require approval of the signage even though they have been there for six months; Old Town Liquors, who have not followed through with the first violation; There has been no response from 236 Linden in regards to painting the scup- per on the south elevation so it is not the bare aluminum that is currently there. The owner contends that the scupper was on the building originally and they replaced it therefore, they feel they should not have to do any- thing to change it. Also, the brick on the entry to the second floor was to be new glazed brick and closer matched to the existing brick. The appli- cant used leftover brick from the demolition of the rear addition. This does not match. This needs to be corrected and approved by the Commission. There was also a question regarding the tuck pointing which does not match the color of the existing mortar and the work was not done in a quality fashion. There were no specifications on this tuck pointing. The point was made to the applicant that in the future, on any similar projects, the Com- mission will be looking for specifications for this kind of work. Nothing can be done on this now since there were no specifications given to the Commission. LPC Minutes - Sept. 17, 1986 Page 3 0 • Sherry stated that the existing by-laws were done in the 1981 revisions of the Landmark Ordinance and they do not reflect that there are seven members and the meeting time is not given. These will need to be revised. These do not need to be presented to City Council. However, the revised by-laws should be sent to Council to inform them of the revisions. Dick stated that a letter needs to be sent to the owners of the Antlers Hotel and the Electric Stampede to let them know that the Commission exists and that whatever they plan to do with their zoning needs to come before the Commission. He stated the Antlers Hotel has pulled a permit to do some interior renovation. Wayne presented a card to Sherry in appreciation of all the work that she has done for the Commission. The meeting adjourned at 6,18 p.m.
