Commission members present included Dick Beardmore, Holly Richter, Michael Ehler, Carol Tunner and Sally Ketcham. Staff members present included Sherry Albertson -Clark and Kayla Ballard. Avery House - 328 W. Mountain Avenue Applicant - Steve White, City of Fort Collins Request - Replacement of sandstone step Holly abstained due to a potential conflict of interest. Steve White stated the sandstone they had found was still not close enough in color. He stated he contacted Ralph Soderberg who said the sandstone that would match the existing step would be under Horsetooth Reservoir. He stated they would have to go back to the original request to mill the 2 pieces of sandstone. Carol asked if mortar would be used. Steve replied that epoxy -type mastic would be used to join the two pieces of stone together. Michael asked if all possibilities have been explored to find the closest match. Steve replied they searched 3 states and what they presented at the last meeting was the closest they could find. Michael moved to approve the proposal as submitted. Carol seconded. Motion to approve passed 4-0. Fort Collins Museum - 200 Mathews Applicant - Steve White, City of Fort Collins Request - Installation of handrail/guardrail, curbing Steve White stated that request is for pipe guardrailing and handrailing for handicapped entrance and curbing around the entrance in the rear of the Fort Collins Museum. He added that the Museum people have requested that the portion of railing opposite the north door be removable for delivery purposes. The color would be black which is the same as the existing window grates. Carol asked if the wall where the railing will go has been altered. Dick replied that he did not think that it is the original. Sally moved to approve the plan as presented. Holly seconded. Motion to approve passed 5-0. Executive Suites, Ltd. - #15 Old Town Square Applicant - Brian Oliver, Paxton Signs Request - Approval of signage Brian Oliver stated the signage on the window directly above the door on the glass would be the same colors as the logo and would read "#15 Old Town Square". The lettering size would be 10 1/2" for the number "15" and 4 1/2" at most for "Old Town Square". The logo on the door would only be on the left door window and would be a total of 10 1/2" in height. Holly asked if having this signage would implicate that 15 Old Town Square was the entire upstairs suites. Brian stated that there would probably be no confusion because there is a directory on the building. Holly asked if there would be any signage on the right door window. Brian replied that it would only be the continuation of the logo line. Michael asked if the entrance would be lit at night. Brian said no it would not. Holly moved to approve the request as presented. Sally seconded. Motion to approved passed 5-0. Rio Grande Restaurant - 150 North College Avenue Applicant - Andre Mouton Request - Approval of signage and painting Andre Mouton, co-owner of Rio Grande Restaurant, stated that he does not want to paint the facade white as shown on the application. He stated the signage will be Cherry Red, Rio Blue, Sherwood Green and Swiss Coffee. He stated that just the lettering of the sign would be back lit. He also plans to install a canopy within six months and then the sign will be removed. The sign would be of sheet metal with plexi-glass front and the back painted. The sign will protrude about 10 inches and will be attached to the wall (the brackets are already in place.) The logo will be hand -painted on the sign. Sally asked Mr. Mouton if he was definitely decided on the facade color. Mr. Mouton stated they have other optional colors which are a pinkish, mar- oon and blue or a maroon and pink. Michael asked if it was necessary to paint before the sign is installed. He was concerned about white on the building. Holly stated that a white sign would really stand out on a brown building. After a brief discussion on various ideas of colors and where to put these colors, Carol moved to approve the proposal with the following revisions: the kickplate, door, and canopy edge white (semi -gloss paint), letters and logo on the sign back -lit, and the logo colors cherry red, rio blue, Sher- wood green, swiss coffee and the mountains apricot nectar. Michael sec- onded. The motion to approve passed 5-0. Minutes of the March 5, 1986 Meeting The minutes were approved with the following edition: On Michael Ehler's abstention from discussion and voting of the East Side Neighborhood Plan, it should read: "Michael Ehler abstained due to a potential conflict of interest." Other Business There was not a quorum present at the time of the Right Card voting at the March 5th meeting, so a re -vote was taken. Michael moved to approve the original application. Sally seconded. Motion to approve passed 5-0. Dick stated that Jay April, new City Council member, is the Council liaison to Landmark Preservation Commission. Mr. April will try to attend the next LPC meeting. Dick reminded the Commission of the Colorado Preservation Inc. conference in Boulder on June 6th and 7th. The Commission concurred to have on the agenda for the next meeting a fol- low-up on the Secretary of Interior Standards workshop. Holly asked if any- one discussed with a lawyer regarding the adoption of the standards. Sherry stated she talked to Steve Roy about this. He stated that the LPC only had authority over the exterior of landmarks. He stated that as far as adopting those standards, it is only a matter of putting public notice on the agenda.
