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 fagade 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 fagade 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 fagade 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 fagade 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 fagade 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.
