The Northern Hotel: Mr. Ehler abstained from this issue, and turned over the chair to Mr. Beardmore. Ms. VanMeter introduced the issue. She stated that the owner has been working to rehabilitate the building in phases for the last several years. In 1987, they obtained a Community Development Block Grant to begin repairs to the roof, storm window installation, window repairs, and fire sprinkler installation. The fire sprinklers are not currently before this board for review. The applicant has submitted a request for conceptual review of the roof. Staff recommends an informal overview regarding window repairs and storm window installation, to run concurrently with the recom- mendations for the roof. -2- Mr. Jim Bragonier, representing Bragonier Architects, addressed the Commis- sion. He stated that the windows will continue to function as they are and every effort will be made to utilize the existing wood windows. Where necessary, parts or all of the window will be replaced and they will match the existing materials. An addition of an aluminum lining for the window tract is not a viable consideration at this time. Mr. Frick recommended the jambs and sills be repaired as per Preservation Brief 9. Mr. Frick also asked if they have determined the original color of the paint on the window surround, or jamb part, and the window sash. Mr. Bragonier stated they don't have a good color rendition of the build- ing. They hope to eventually restore the building to 1920 Art Deco style, rather than going back to the pre-1920's. They have found an off-white color on the upper level sash. Mr. Beardnore asked if the storm windows are a custom color. Mr. Bragonier stated they are a custom color with a polyurethane finish. The material can be repainted. He also submitted a sample of the weather- stripping material to be used. Ms. VanMeter clarified that the applicant stated construction drawings would provide sufficient detail for the final hearing. Mr. Beardmore asked Mr. Bragonier to present information regarding the roof. Mr. Bragonier stated the roof is not visible from the street. There are three air handling units, which have not been built on curbs. They will correct this problem. Materials to be used on the roof are sti 11 unre- solved, however it is proposed to use a Modified Bitumen, single ply roof material. The first choice of material is an EDPM roof, however due to the excessive amount of handwork needed, the cost might be prohibitive. All downspouts, gutters and flashing will be replaced. The skylights will be retained, with the exception of one that might be abandoned. Mr. Bragonier explained to the Commission how the fire sprinkler system has been proposed for installation. Mr. Beardnore stated the Commission does not have purview over the fire sprinkler system. Mr. Frick commented that having a professional involved in the submittal and presentation was very helpful for the Commission's review. Mr. Beardnore stated Agenda Items 4 and 5 will he tabled to the next regu- lar meeting. Meeting adjourned at approximately 7:30 p.m. Minutes submitted by Judy Reed. -3-
