Fourth Street. Present: Howard Lieberman, Jeff Johnson, Jay Michels, Roger Tomten, Brent Peterson Not Present: Katherine Francis, Pat Qualey, Bob Kimbrel Others: Ann Terwedo, City staff Thomas Loome Ann Hoffman Tom Thueson 1. Approval of minutes, May 4, 1994 Brent Peterson made a motion to approve, seconded by Roger Tomten. All approve. 2. Case No. DR/94 -5 . Design Review for paint colors and two awning signs for a building at 232 South Main Street in the Historic Commercial District. Thomas Loome, Applicant. Mr. Loome presented the proposal. He stated that he needs two awnings with signage on both awnings for continuity with the building across the street. Ann stated that a variance would be needed for two signs for one business in one building. The Commission suggested that one awning might be a good idea. Mr. Loome felt that it may not be. The length of the facade is quite extensive and one awning may not look appropriate. Roger Tomten suggested that two awnings be placed with a small one over the entrance. Mr. Loome did not agree with the suggestion because of additional costs. One long awning is also expensive. The Commission agreed that double signage is not appropriate. The two suggestions that were made seemed acceptable to the Commission. Jeff Johnson made a motion to accept one awning or three awnings as discussed with signage over the door. Seconded by Brent Peterson. All in favor. 2. Case No. DR/94 -6. Design Review for a forest green awning with directional signage and a 20 sq. ft. wall sign at 310 South Main Street in the Historic Commercial District. Don Kelley, applicant. Anne Hoffman presented the proposal. The Committee discussed the "Art Gallery" lettering on the awning. Is it appropriate? Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission Minutes June 8, 1994 Jeff Johnson stated that window signage is appropriate enough to provide the information that it is an art gallery. Brent Peterson felt that the signage on the awning was O.K. Howard Lieberman made a motion to approve. Seconded by Brent Peterson. Vote 3 ayes - 2 nays. Approved. 3. Downtown Awnings The Commission discussed appropriateness of the existing awnings. Should awnings have signage? Should the awnings be stationary or roll- backs? Ann will check other communities' guidelines for awnings. Howard Lieberman suggested checking the community of Brattleborough, Vermont, 05344. 4. Target/Cub Project The Committee reviewed the lighting plan for the Cub /Target project. Jeff Johnson made a motion to approve the plan with the recommendation that the lights on the rear of the building shine down. Roger Tomten seconded the motion. All in favor. Approved. 5. Bridge Design Review Committee Jay Michels and Roger Tomten will serve on the Bridge Design Review Committee. 6. Cub Foods corporate office building tour Jeff Johnson presented the issues related to the conditions of approval for the Cub corporate office project.

Mr. Thueson will work with the City to clean up that area. The Commission asked why the pavers were not placed. Mr. Thueson stated that it was a cost reduction. It was suggested that additional shrubs and lindens be placed along the side of the building. 2 A F Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission Minutes June 8, 1994 The signage was discussed again.
