ADJOURN City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission November 2, 2009 Present: Jeff Johnson, Vice chairman, Micky Cook, Gayle Hudak, Roger Tomten, Scott Zahren Staff present: Planner Mike Pogge Absent: Howard Lieberman and Jerry Krakowski Approval of minutes: Ms. Hudak, seconded by Mr. Zahren, moved approval of the minutes of Oct. 5, 2009, as presented. OPEN FORUM No comments were received. DESIGN REVIEWS Case No. DR/09-40 Design review of signage for Purefex Salon at 114 Main St. N. in the CBD, Central Business District. Laura Hoefler, applicant. The applicant and her husband were present. Mr. Tomten explained the Commission's request that the sign bracket be installed using existing holes, rather than creating new holes in the brick. The applicants stated they would attempt to do that and would install the brackets into the masonry, rather than the brick. They said the eventual intent is to renovate the facade to its original look. The color of the trim will be green, Emerald Village D33-7, Ace Historic Paint Colors, the applicants stated. The sign itself will be unpainted, weathered steel, with black lettering; Mr. Johnson said he hoped there is enough contrast so the sign is usable. There was discussion about re -using the former awning; Mr. Zahren offered his assistance with rollers for the awning if need be. It was noted that plans for the awning also would have to be reviewed by the HPC. Mr. Johnson moved to approve the sign as submitted, natural unfinished steel with black, gold or off-white letter insert with the conditions that the mounting holes be into the mortar rather than the brick of the building facade and that the sign not be lighted and the other conditions as outlined in the staff report, and to approve the trim color of Emerald Village green D33-7. Mr. Tomten seconded the motion; motion passed unanimously. Case No. DR/09-41 Design review of a front facade at 113-119 Main St. S. in the CBD, Central Business District. Bruce Klosowsky, applicant. The applicant was present. Mr. Johnson noted that photos of the existing facade had been provided. Mr. Klosowsky reviewed plans, noting that the existing vertical tiles are of a more contemporary look and many are broken and/or missing. He said the plans are to replace the vertical tiles with a granite material, a sample of which was provided. For the sidewalk portion, the tiles will be replaced with a non -slip material, he said. Mr. Klosowsky briefly spoke of the history of the building, its association with the Masonic Lodge and ongoing plans for renovation/repair of the building. Mr. Johnson expressed a concern that this work not preclude doing a full restoration of the facade at some point in the future, but said he didn't think this project would change the profile of the building. Mr. Klosowsky said they would be willing to alter plans to be more historically correct depending on what is found when they start removing the existing material; Mr. Tomten and Mr. Johnson suggesting documenting what is found in the interest of future restoration work. It was suggested, and agreed to, that some exploratory work be done at one location before proceeding with the project. Mr. Tomten, seconded by Mr. Zahren, moved approval of the granite materials for the project. Motion passed unanimously. 1 City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission November 2, 2009 OTHER BUSINESS Interpretive trails at Terra Sprinqs — Mr. Steve Russell representing the Terra Springs Master Board presented information on the interpretive trails at Terra Springs related to the Territorial Prison Site.
