Members attending were Sally Ketchum, Reba Massey, D. Prescott Handley, Andy Mutz, and Bud Frick. Staff was represented by Kari VanMeter and Joyce Lewton. New members, Ms. Reba Massey and Ms. D. Prescott Handley, introduced them- selves and gave the Commission a brief background of their credentials. Ms. Massey is employed by the State of Wyoming Historic Preservation Office. Ms. Handley is an interior design space planner with W.J. Frick Design Group. Agenda Review of Current Items KATIE'S: Reviewed by Prescott Handley and Bud Frick Issues/Comments: Follow staff recommendations but applicant should have a more detailed, dimension sketch and color samples for the entry door. Size and style of letters, the colors, the paint manufacturer and the location of the drawing on the door should be detailed on the dimension drawing. Mr. Mike Wittmer, the sign designer, was present and understood the Commission requirements. POINT OF VIEW: Reviewed by Reba Massey and Sally Ketchum Issues/Comments: Applicant requests color change from purple to maroon outline in Point of View letters and circle. Mr. Frick reiterated, follow the staff report with the following changes: "A Point of View" lettered with gold centers, out- lined in maroon and the 18" diameter X 3/4" circle around flowers is mar- oon. Applicant should submit drawing showing lines in actual scale so sign relates to proportions of the border which makes a frame rather than the current drawing which shows only single lines. GARRETT & DUFFEY LTD.: Reviewed by Andy Mutz and Bud Frick Issues/Comments: Orvis logo on the transom is in gold 12" caps, 5" from frame bottom and should be centered. There should be a scale drawing of the Orvis logo in the transom as well as a scale drawing of the south and east facing windows which have the Garrett & Duffey logo. 11 Current Items Katie's: Ms. Ketchum moved to accept application in concept with the provi- sion that before it goes before the Building Inspector's department, the following items be clarified: 1) the exact placement of sign be specified; 2) a revised sketch showing all details and dimensions be submitted to the Historic Preservation office prior to request for sign permit; and 3) color samples of material specification and paint type be submitted to Historic Preservation office prior to request for sign permit. Mr. Frick seconded. Approved 5-0. Point of View: Ms. VanMeter provided the following background: Mr. Mike iRtmel�` r is t o representative. The exterior sign in the transom will be the same as the existing sign with "fine gifts and accessories" in white let- tering as an additional tag line. All other colors remain the same. Mr. Frick moved to approve the sign as submitted with the changes as noted on the official document. Ms. Ketchum seconded. Approved 5-0. Garrett & Duffffey, Ltd.: Mr. Mike Wittmer is the representative. Ms. Ketchum moved to accept application with the provision that a drawing of the tran- som with the logo defined be submitted to the Historic Preservation office prior to request for sign permit. Mr. Frick seconded. Approved 5-0. Staff Report: Certified Local Government Designation Ms. VanMeter stated the problems encountered previously regarding certifi- cation were: 1. The development of the Historical Preservation Program conflicted with time constraints and staff capabilities as far as actively pursuing CLG. Ms. VanMeter felt she could spend the time to do CLG application and associated paperwork. 2. State Historic Preservation office had problem with the split responsi- bilities of the LPC and the designation of historic structures which prior to May had been vested with the Cultural Resources Board. These responsibilities have subsequently been vested with the LPC. 3. LPC should aggressively pursue the investigation of National Register designation. The first option would be to pursue new designations which Ms. VanMeter does not advocate at this time. She did suggest establishing a strong, solid incentives program for rehabilitation of existing, designated structures and then feeding those incentives into new designations. CLG funds these activities so specialists can be hired on a contract basis freeing Ms. VanMeter to handle day-to-day activities. Mr. Frick moved to get CLG certification and have a resolution from the City Council supporting that certification rather than having the Mayor sign off. Ms. Ketchum seconded. Approved 5-0. -2- The incentives programs were discussed. Ms. VanMeter will research and update the Commission on the scope and requirements of these incentives. School of Dance: Mr. Eric Near requested the Commission amend their earlier recommendation regarding the arch to be placed over the single door which now marks the entrance to the School of Dance. The arch was to help identify a separate entrance and was a design consideration. Mr. Near stated that the arch is poorly constructed and the bank will not fund him for the shoddy workman- ship. The Commission wished to wait for the September meeting to formally consider how important the arch is to the door as other members who attended the prior meeting will be available for input at that time. Mr. Frick would like to see a drawing reflective of the two separate elevations and showing the shed portion at that time. Historic Home Tour September 17, 1988 to include five houses plus the Andrews House. Approval of July 11, 1988 Minutes Ms. Tunner left with Ms. Ketchum the following changes to be made in the minutes on Page 2, Paragraph 1, Chow's Garden Restaurant. The paragraph will read as follows: Ms. Tunner expressed concern over the size of the sign and given that size, the placement of the sign. She pointed out the sign was shown inaccurately on the applicant's photograph in lieu of the measured drawing. The sign, as presented, is 8 feet, the wall is 8 feet 9 inches but has a series of brick and metal stripping (arch) which presents a space problem in placing such a large sign on that wall. The sign would cover the arch. She recommended that a smaller sign, such as 6 feet 8 inches, be placed directly under the bridge so as to better fit the space. Mr. Chow expressed concern that the sign be placed high enough so it cannot be vandalized. Ms. Ketchum moved to approve the minutes as corrected. Mr. Frick seconded. Approved 5-0. The meeting adjourned approximately 6:45 p.m. Minutes submitted by Joyce Lewton. -3-
