Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting April 7, 2014 Case No. DP/2014-11, Request for a Design Permit for a sign, Tin Bins, 413 Nelson Street East, located in the CBD, Central Business District. Michael McGuire, owner and Sherri Hopfe, applicant. Commissioner Welty said she feels the signage is too modern -looking for the building and appears awkward. City Planner Wittman pointed out that design guidelines address size but not shape of signs; they are geared toward Victorian brick storefronts. This is one of the more unique structures downtown. Chairman Larson questioned how well the galvanized, cut-out metal will stand out against the building. Commissioner Johnson remarked that this side of the building has a more contemporary look. He feels the proposed signage works well with the contemporary windows and surfaces nearby, but perhaps two lines of lettering would read better than the proposed layout. Motion by Commissioner Johnson (no second) to approve Case No. DP/2014-11, Request for a Design Permit for a sign, Tin Bins, 413 Nelson Street East, with the suggestion that the style be modified for the first word to be positioned over the second word. Motion was rescinded. Motion by Commissioner Welty (no second) to approve Case No. DP/2014-11, Request for a Design Permit for a sign, Tin Bins, 413 Nelson Street East, with the notation that one Commissioner would recommend not crossing the words. Motion was rescinded. Motion by Commissioner Welty, seconded by Commissioner Mino, to approve Case No. DP/2014-11, Request for a Design Permit for a sign, Tin Bins, 413 Nelson Street East, as submitted. All in favor, 7-0. City Planner Wittman agreed to convey to the applicant the Commission's suggestion that the text be Tin Bins (two words), with lettering either all vertical or all horizontal, in one line or two. PUBLIC HEARINGS There were no Public Hearings. NEW BUSINESS Historical District FAQ Draft Review City Planner Wittman provided a draft of Frequently Asked Questions about historic districts which could be added to the City web site. She led a discussion on edits and changes to the draft. The City is planning on updating its web site this year. 114 Chestnut Street - Brunswick Inn City Planner Wittman introduced email she received from Don Empson expressing concern about the structure, which is the oldest frame structure in Stillwater. Councilmember Menikheim stated that Mr. Empson expressed concerns to him as well. He believes the City should inspect the building and issue corrective orders. Page 2 of 3 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting April 7, 2014 Chairman Larson remarked that the building has a new roof but the siding is in some disrepair. Commissioner Johnson noted that there could safety issues involved. He cited two previous instances where the City stepped in to help stabilize historic buildings. Councilmember Menikheim commented that if the City inspects the property, a report indicating that the structure is still sound might make it more marketable. Chairman Larson noted that Jon Whitcomb, the realtor, told him a lot of people have viewed the property and he hopes it will be sold in a month or so. City Planner Wittman told the Commission she has met with three different prospective buyers. They were concerned with what the HPC would or would not allow them to do. She indicated to them all that the HPC would be willing to do pre -application conferences to discuss possible renovations. She also spoke with the City Attorney, who suggested requiring registration of vacant or abandoned properties, or amending the ordinance to give the City the right to inspect the property in question. Councilmember Menikheim stated he would like the Council and the Commission to be more proactive on the matter. City Planner Wittman suggested, if the realtor is willing, that one or two Commissioners and the building official tour the building. At the next meeting, the Commission could review the ordinance regarding demolition by neglect and make a recommendation to the Council. Commissioners Johnson, Mino and Welty indicated interest in being in a small group to assess the building, along with the building official. Councilmember Menikheim would also like to be included. American Association of Local and State History Organizations City Planner Wittman asked any Commissioners who would be interested in attending the national conference in St. Paul September 17-20 to contact her so she can submit scholarship applications. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Mino, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to adjourn. All in favor, 7-0. The meeting was adjourned at 8:26 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Julie Kink Recording Secretary Page 3 of 3 - r1 wa ter T H E BIRTH P L A TE OF M I N N F S 0 1 A HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: May 5, 2014 CASE NO.: DP/2014-13 APPLICANT: Mary M Devens, Revamp Remodeling & Design REQUEST: Request Design Permit for a wall sign to be located at 105 New England Place #145 ZONING: Village Commercial COMP PLAN DISTRICT: Neighborhood Commercial PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner r �. REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of a design permit for on 20' long, PVC sign to be located at 105 New England Place #250, a 26' long unit. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES Municipal Code Section 31-509, Subd. 2, Permits Required, states: "All signs requires a design review permit." Although the City has not amended the sign regulations to specifically address standards and regulations for the Village Commercial (VC) zoning district, the City did approve a master sign plan for Liberty Village in 2009. The sign conforms to the master sign plan. FINDINGS Staff finds the application is consistent with the with the purpose of the zoning code, the comprehensive plan, and the heritage preservation ordinance. Additionally, the size, height, location and materials of the sign for the Revamp Remodeling & Design sign relates to the scale and design of existing building signage, minimizes the risk for traffic hazards and meets the design guidelines for Liberty Village. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. Prior to installation, the landlord shall remove all existing, non -conforming signage including unpermitted and expired temporary banners. 2. All revisions to the approved plan shall be reviewed and approved by the HPC. 3. No additional signage permitted for this business unless permitted through an approved temporary sign permit.

HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: May 5, 2014 CASE NO.: DP/2014-14 APPLICANT: Chauncey Peterson, Demars Signs, representing Sound Properties REQUEST: Design Permit request for a multi -tenant sign plan for the structure located at 102 Main Street North located in the Downtown Design Review District ZONING: CBD -Central Business COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU-Downtown Mixed Use PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner 102 Main Street North: Multitenant Sign Plan Case No. DP/2014-14 (HPC: May 5, 2014) Page 1 of 2 REQUEST The applicant is requesting consideration of an amendment to a multitenant sign plan (approved through DP/2013-62) for the structure located at 102 Main Street North. At this time the structure contains four tenants: Forget Me Not and Osaka Bistro on the main story and KLBB Radio and Lemke -Anderson Communications on the second story. APPLICABLE GUIDELINES. REGULATIONS AND FINDINGS The zoning ordinance states: "Where a principal building is devoted to two or more permitted uses, the operator of each use may install a wall sign for their use. A sign plan must be submitted for the entire building. The total gross square signage for the entire building may not exceed one square foot for each foot of the building face parallel, or substantially parallel, to a street lot line..." ANAT.YSTS The multi -tenant sign plan is consistent with the zoning ordinance in that the maximum allowable square footage does not conflict with the City's sign regulations. The amendments clarify the distribution of the total allowable wall signage, and also eliminated the option for each business to have a projecting sign. Individual tenant signs, consistent with the adopted sign plan, shall be reviewed and approved by separate design permit requests. Existing Forget Me Not signage, proposed to remain in place, is in conformance with the updated plan. Existing non -nonconforming Osaka signage is proposed to be removed. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Commission approve DP/2014-4, approving an amended multitenant sign plan for the structure located at 102 Main Street North.

The (approximately) 26.5 square foot (79" long by 47" tall) identical signs will be affixed to the Main and Myrtle Street facade. The white sign will contain raised, black lettering reading'Club 1220' with 'KLBB Radio' (and station tag line) in black, flat vinyl circling the raised lettering. APPLICABLE HISTORY At the regularly -scheduled meeting in February, the Commission continued consideration of this request for the submission of a design that was in conformance with the approved multi - tenant sign plan. On March 20, 2014, staff extended the 60 -day review deadline to May 21, 2014. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION Although the property owner has submitted a request for an updated sign plan, which these signs would (generally) be in conformance with, the applicant has indicated KLBB Radio has modified their logo design. KLBB Radio has not submitted updated plans. The applicant and KLBB Radio are aware that in order to be in compliance with the 120 day review period, the HPC must act on the application.

HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: May 5, 2014 CASE NO.: DP/2014-16 APPLICANT: Merle Sorenson, owner, Scott Kragness, applicant, Mark Balay, representative. REQUEST: Request for a Design Permit for exterior modifications to the structure located at 200 Chestnut Street East. ZONING: CBD -Central Business COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU-Downtown Mixed Use PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner REQUEST The applicant is proposing exterior modifications to the structure located at 200 Chestnut Street East (commonly referred to as the Chestnut Building). The proposed modifications include: West Elevation: 1. Conversion of metal service entrance to a new aluminum storefront entry. 2. Installation of a metal cover over the existing drive-through window. 3. Installation of an (approximately) 16' long, 6' tall fence to screen existing mechanical equipment. North Elevation: 1. Conversion of an existing dormer window into a hood exhaust location. 2. Installation of an (approximately) 16' long, 6' tall fence to screen existing mechanical equipment. Additionally, modifications to the site are proposed. This includes the conversion of the parking lot to head -in parking along the western property line. This would create two- way traffic from Myrtle, abandoning the drive-through and egress on Second Street South. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND GUIDELINES Municipal Code Section 31-209, Design permit states: The Standards for Review, Sec. 31-509(0 indicates the HPC shall utilize the following standards: o Architectural character: ■ The suitability of the building for the intended purpose. ■ The consistency of the applications design with approved design guidelines. ■ The compatibility of the character of the design with adjacent development. o Outdoor advertising: The number, location, color, size, height, lighting and landscaping of outdoor advertising signs and structures in relation to the creation of traffic hazards and the appearance and harmony with adjacent development. o Historical structures, vistas, sites and the impact of development on these resources. o Special design guidelines for areas or districts of the city officially adopted by the city council. The Downtown Design Review manual indicates certain provisions for utility areas and mechanical equipment, facade openings and materials. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION The fences proposed are permitted per zoning code. They, however, are only permitted to be six feet in height. The Downtown Design Review manual indicates properties will screen exterior trash and storage areas, service yards, loading areas, transformers and air conditioning units from view of nearby streets and adjacent structures in a manner that is compatible with the building and site design. Although the applicant's representative has the fence will be made of wood, the application does not indicate if the wood will be natural stain or painted. Furthermore, the hood exhaust is also recommended to be screened from view of nearby streets in a manner compatible with the building. The applicant has proposed popping the hood out a second story dormer window. This window opening, if located within 10' of another fagade opening, would not be permissible by the building code. Additionally, staff does have concern for the potential implications to second story tenants. Details of the metal cover over the existing drive-through window have not been provided. The Downtown Design Review manual indicates compatibility with similar exterior construction materials in the immediate area is recommended in order to maintain the distinct character and harmony of the area. With the exception of metal handrails and a picket fence around an outdoor eating area, there are no metal elements on the exterior facade. Conversion of metal service entrance to a new aluminum storefront entry is not encouraged in the Downtown Design Review manual. Painted wood doors and wood framing are preferred. 200 Chestnut Street East (Reve 324) Case No. DP/2014-16 (HPC: May 5, 2014) Page 2 of 3 Aluminum doors and doorframes, aluminum windows and their accessories with a clear aluminum finish are not acceptable, although colored anodized aluminum is acceptable. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends approval of DP/2014-16 with the following conditions: 1. The drive-through window shall be covered with a wood panel, painted white. 2. The new door opening shall be constructed of a similar size and of similar materials as all other door openings on the structure. 3. The hood exhaust shall be routed through the roof of the structure and screened from street view. 4. Prior to installation, a fence permit shall be obtained. The permit shall indicate a fence height, from grade, of no greater than 6' and painted or stained a color as determined by the HPC. 5. Design Review permits shall be submitted and approved by the HPC for any future outdoor patio, signage and any additional 6. If alternative provisions are found for the lack of onsite parking by the Downtown Parking Commission, prior to business opening: a. A curb shall be installed on South Second Street; and b. The western parking lot shall be painted according to plan.

Although staff has fielded inquiries from potential applicants regarding inclusion to the program, this appears to be one of the first applications received since the City was awarded grant funds for the development of the program, the program research and website construction between 2007 and 2011. To date, there are 113 Heirloom Homes and 37 Landmark Sites in the Heirloom Home and Landmark Sites program (HHLSP); no contributing buildings or sites in the Downtown Stillwater Commercial Historic District are listed. If added, the City would have over 200 properties listed. The specific application is of a circa 1870, 1.5 story residence. The structure is located in an area not yet surveyed by the City of Stillwater. Therefore, little information is known (at least to staff) about the structure, the property it is located on or the neighborhood itself. The structure has been identified as a potential heirloom home in the 2008 Comprehensive Plan. Staff would like to discuss with the Commission how we would like to address applications of this nature and whether or not the HPC would like to consider new applications to the HHLSP. Staff has several thoughts: 1. Program documentation from 2007-2011 exists. Staff could write up guidelines for new applications, amending the application form to include requirement of full submission for HPC consideration. 2. With the existing application, the HPC could hire a consultant to complete research, narrative development, photographic documentation and south information. This, too, could be done by the property owner with the City providing partial payment by reimbursement. 3. The HPC could write another grant and process bulk applications. Staff would like guidance from the HPC as to how they would like to proceed with new applications and whether or not the HPC would like to proceed in advertising for bulk application submission. Additionally, staff is seeking guidance on whether or not the HPC would like to utilize the (minimal) restitution funds the HPC has. 0 Roscoe and Eva Hersey House left Stillwater for St. Paul, and sold the property to George John and Anna O'Brien House (Riverview Inn) 416 4th Street South Atwood, also a lumber magnate and founder of the Twin City O 306 Olive Street South Roscoe Hersey played an important role in the early develop- Forge and Foundry Company.
