Chairman Larson called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. Present: Chairman Larson, Commissioners Goodman, Johnson, Krakowski, Welty (arrived at 7:03 p.m.), Council Representative Menikheim Absent: Commissioners Branjord and Mino Staff: City Planner Wittman APPROVAL OF MINUTES Possible approval of October 5, 2015 meeting minutes Motion by Commissioner Krakowski, seconded by Chairman Larson, to approve the minutes of the October 5, 2015 meeting. All in favor, 4-0. OPEN FORUM There were no public comments. CONSENT AGENDA There were no items on the Consent Agenda. PUBLIC HEARINGS There were no public hearings. NEW BUSINESS Case No. 2015-48 Design Review for a stationary food trailer to be located at 225 Main Street North. Frank Fabio, owner. City Planner Wittman reviewed the case. The applicant proposes a red utility trailer that has been retrofitted to prepare products to be consumed. The Planning Commission granted conditional approval of the trailer for use as a drive -through coffee business in late 2013. At that time, the property owner had not obtained the trailer. Staff finds the utility trailer to be consistent with the guidelines. However, because permanent structures in this district are held to a higher design standard, this trailer could detract from the character of the downtown historic district. Staff recommends that the Commission discuss with the property owner alternatives for exterior design improvements and continue consideration of the Design Permit until exterior improvements have been developed and submitted. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting November 2, 2015 Stephanie Reese, representing Mr. Fabio and Maple Island Brewing, informed the Commission the trailer will be open from 5-10 am in the center parking aisle, after which it will be moved behind the brewery for business hours. It will operate year-round selling coffee and pre -packaged pastries. She presented a mock-up design. Chairman Larson commented there is a Minnesota Food Truck Association which advocates identifiable trailers to distinguish them from service trailers. He commended the applicant on the design sketches. Motion by Commissioner Welty, seconded by Commissioner Johnson, to approve Case No. 2015-48, Design Permit for a stationary food trailer to be located at 225 Main Street North, with conditions recommended by staff, based on concept sketches submitted in the meeting. All in favor, 5-0. Case No. 2015-49 Design Review for signage for front of building to be located at 126 Main Street North. Tim Michael, owner and Meg DiMercurio, applicant. City Planner Wittman summarized the request. The applicant is requesting a Design Permit to install a new wall sign. The 15 square foot, matte block, lightweight aluminum sign is proposed to run the length of the unit and read "ModernRoots" with "Natural Soaps & Body Care" underneath. The sign is proposed to be located in the sign band area, consistent with other commercial space in the building. Staff recommends approval with four conditions. Renee Nelson, assistant store manager representing the applicant, offered to answer any questions. Commissioners Welty and Johnson suggested the secondary information would be easier to read if placed on the window instead of the sign, allowing the letters "ModernRoots" to be larger. Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Krakowski to approve Case No. 2015-49, Design Permit for signage for front of building to be located at 126 Main Street North, with conditions recommended by staff, allowing for the option for applicant to remove secondary information from sign. All in favor, 5-0. Case No. 2015-50 Modification to Case No. 2014-42 for the exterior facade renovation and a multi -tenant sign plan for the structure located at 275 Third Street South. Grady Erickson, owner and Matt Frisbie, applicant. City Planner Wittman stated that in December 2014, the HPC approved a Design Permit for exterior facade renovations including shiplap cedar siding, hardi-panel vertical siding and anodized aluminum awnings on all four sides. The applicant is proposing changes to the approved Design Permit, consisting of using fiber cement siding with a wood grain appearance instead of the originally permitted cedar shiplap, as well as smaller than originally approved fiber cement panels. There are other proposed changes deemed by staff to be less substantial. In addition, the property owner is proposing to install new, 32 square foot tenant signage in the front of the building that will have a similar look and feel as the newly designed structure. Staff finds the application to be sufficiently consistent with the guidelines and recommends approval with conditions. Matt Frisbie, designer with Ayres Associates, offered to answer any questions. Commissioner Johnson noted the pedestrian level as proposed has more detail with the wood grain. Chairman Larson said the panels may look better with a little more pattern. Commissioner Welty expressed preference for the smaller division of palette and suggested exploring the addition of landscaping below the sign area. Chairman Larson complimented the applicant on the proposed improvements. Page 2 of 4 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting October 5, 2015 Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Commissioner Welty, to approve Case No. 2015-50, Modification to Case No. 2014-42 for the exterior facade renovation and a multi -tenant sign plan for the structure located at 275 Third Street South, with conditions recommended by staff, with Condition #2 modified to read "sign shall not exceed 6' in height from ground grade" and adding the condition that landscaping or other features shall be placed underneath the sign base. All in favor, 5-0. Case No. 2015-51 Comments to St. Croix River Crossing MOA modifications for the Stillwater Lift Bridge conversion - MnDOT. City Planner Wittman shared that as part of the St. Croix River Crossing project, the Stillwater Lift Bridge Advisory Council developed a Lift Bridge Management Plan for the future use of the historic bridge as a pedestrian and bicycle pathway in 2019 and beyond. MnDOT is seeking comments on changes to the plan. One change is in the type of bulb in the lighting units on the bridge and concourses. She noted that she understands that the fixture will not be visible, it will be set up in the span, and that there are no changes proposed to the fixtures themselves, just to the bulbs. Existing fixtures will be replicated. Commissioner Johnson said there will still be three fixtures in each span mounted on the structure in the center of the roadway area. Chairman Larson stated he would want to maintain a similar intensity to the current lighting to reduce glare. City Planner Wittman reminded the Commission that reducing the amount of light could compromise safety. The 4,000 Kelvin is the industry standard, accounting for the proposed lighting. Commissioner Johnson said he had asked about the acorn lights for the approach area and learned they also are available in 3,500 or 3,000 which would be a warmer light. The acorn lights will go in each pier along the sidewalk. There are not lights there now. He would want to have the same temperature in both lights so the color would be consistent. Chairman Larson said the warmer the better, 3,500 is better than 4,000. Council Representative Menikheim recalled a previous discussion about some type of illumination of the bridge structure itself. The question about illuminating the bridge in some way remains. Chairman Larson acknowledged that lighting of the bridge would have to be carefully done; there will be a range of opinion on how to approach lighting the bridge and the HPC would like to be part of the process. He noted concern about not increasing the glare in both the acorn fixtures and the new fixtures. He understands they will have to meet minimum standards but would want to keep the lighting as low as possible. Also, there may be a more aesthetically appropriate fixture available than proposed. Commissioner Johnson noted the 4,000 Kelvin is still a fairly bluish light and if there is an option to reduce it to 3,000-3,500 that would be an improvement. Also the acorn lights should have the same temperature as the overhead lights to be consistent. He suggested mounting a demonstration fixture on the bridge to see what it would look like before a decision is made. It would be desirable to dim the lights off-peak hours. City Planner Wittman was directed to draft a letter for Chairman Larson to sign and send, based on suggestions voiced in the discussion about glare, source of light, intensity, type of fixture, and consistency among lighting temperatures, as well as a request for a field test of the overhead lights if possible. OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION Page 3 of 4 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting November 2, 2015 Discussion of Postcard Recognition Program The Commission discussed possible text for postcards acknowledging property owners who are visibly supporting the goals of the HPC, such as those who are maintaining their homes in an historically accurate way. Commissioner Welty will work on some generic statements and possible images for the postcards. Council Representative Menikheim suggested also recognizing property owners on the City website or in a "thumbs up" in the newspaper. There were concerns about the possible privacy and permission issues. The postcard could request permission for further recognition in the media. STAFF UPDATES HPC Training Program Grant City Planner Wittman noted that the statewide training program for HPC commissioners is in draft form and an RFP will be sent in the next month or so. Comprehensive Plan 2016-2018 Updates City Planner Wittman reported that an RFP was just released for the updating of the downtown chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. A committee including an HPC commissioner will be formed. The historic resources chapter of the Plan will be reviewed with the HPC at a half -day workshop to be scheduled. Chairman Larson brought up the idea of an HPC commissioner reporting to the Council annually about the work of the Commission. He also stated it would be nice if the Council Representative position rotated to educate more Councilmembers on the work of the Commission. ADJOURNMENT Motion by Commissioner Johnson, seconded by Chairman Larson, to adjourn. All in favor, 5-0. The meeting was adjourned at 8:35 p.m. Respectfully Submitted, Julie Kink Recording Secretary Page 4 of 4 tiliWatet % e a' H.o. n.i.% OF MIN ESO ra HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: December 7, 2015 CASE NO.: 2015-452 APPLICANT: REQUEST: Mark Balay, representing Judd Sather Consideration of a Design Permit for exterior improvements to the structure located at 123 Second Street North ZONING: Central Business District COMP PLAN DISTRICT: DMU - Downtown Mixed Use PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner REQUEST The applicant is requesting approval of certain exterior improvements to the structure located at 123 Main Street North: 1. Removal of a non -historic, 1970s constructed loading dock and overhead doorway from the structure. This was a condition of approval for JX Events Venue, the third story use of this building. The masonry opening will be filled with brick closely matching the existing brick, with the same mortar and detailing of the existing north facade. 2. A total of three (3), dark anodized bronze double -doors with clear glazed transom window unit above. One will replace the aforementioned loading dock, one will replace the existing entrance off of 2nd Street North, and one will replace the single service door along the northern facade, creating a new entrance. 3. A comprehensive rooftop mechanical plan is proposed for the structure as this historically industrial building is in the process of being converted to a multi -tenant, multi -use facility. As such, significant rooftop improvements will need to be made as currently there are minimal rooftop mechanicals onsite. ANALYSIS As the property has been designated as a Heritage Preservation Site due to its significance within the Commercial Historic District, the commission's decisions must use the following (applicable) guidelines (as found in City Code Section 22-7: Heritage Preservation Commission) to evaluate applications for site alterations: Site Alteration Guideline Staff Analysis in conjunction with Downtown Design Review District Guidelines Every reasonable effort shall be made to provide a compatible use for a property which requires minimal alteration of the building, structure or site and its environment or to use a property for its originally intended purposes. As indicated, the primary use of this structure has been for industrial purposes since it was constructed. The owner is proposing a complete rehabilitation of the building for multiple uses including retail, services, restaurant and events venue. These uses are compatible with the building. The distinguishing original qualities or character of a building, structure or site and its environment shall not be destroyed. The removal or alteration of any historic material or distinctive architectural features must be avoided when possible. Distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship which characterize a building, structure or site shall be treated with sensitivity. Minimal exterior modifications for reuse shall occur and these alterations shall not destroy the integrity of the structure. While the removal of historic material (limestone base) will be required for the openings, the minimal amount of material proposed to be removed will enable egress to the structure. Changes which may have taken place in the course of time are evidence of the history and development of a building, structure or site and its environment. These changes may have acquired significance in their own right and this significance shall be recognized and respected. While the applicant is proposing the removal of glass block, an overhead service door and the loading dock, these architectural features do not contribute to the historic character and significance of the building nor have they gained significance in their own right. The removal of the loading dock will enhance the disconnected public walkway in this location. It 123 2nd Street North HPC 2015-52 (12/7/2015) Page 2 of 4 is the intent of the City to have this repaired to provide for a continuous walkway In this location. Deteriorated architectural features shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. If replacement is necessary, the new material should match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features must be based on accurate duplication of features, substantiated by historic, physical or pictorial evidence rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. The applicant is proposing to repair the overhead door opening with matching brick and mortar. Contemporary design for alterations and additions shall not be discouraged when such alterations and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material and character of the property, neighborhood or environment. The applicant is proposing the installation of anodized aluminum doorways which are consistent with the downtown guidelines. Additionally proposed are 15 mechanical units and necessary appurtenances for the uses proposed. The mechanical equipment is proposed to be set back so that it is not visible from the street, given the 3'. At eye level of the top of the parapet, certain mechanical equipment shall extend no greater than 3' above the parapet line. Whenever possible new additions or alterations to structures shall be done in a manner that if the additions or alterations were to be removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the structure would be unimpaired. If all improvements were removed, the structure would remain in its original form and appearance, preserving the integrity of the structure. FINDINGS Staff finds: 1. The removal of the loading dock and overhead door is consistent with the guidelines for the Site Alterations to a Heritage Preservation Site and the Downtown Design Review District. 2. The installation of brick and mortar, similar to the existing, in the opening of the overhead service door is consistent with the guidelines for the Site Alterations to a Heritage Preservation Site and the Downtown Design Review District. 3. The installation of dark anodized bronze double -doors with clear glazed transom window unit above in the place of the loading dock, the front entry door and the North elevation steel service door is consistent with the guidelines for the Site Alterations to a Heritage Preservation Site and the Downtown Design Review District. 123 2nd Street North HPC 2015-52 (12/7/2015) Page 3 of 4 4. The installation of 15 HVAC units and necessary appurtenances is consistent with the guidelines for the Site Alterations to a Heritage Preservation Site and the Downtown Design Review District so long as all necessary mechanical equipment is powder coated in a non -reflective subdued color and meets all requirements set forth in City Code Section 38-3, Noise Control and Regulation. ALTERNATIVES AND RECOMMENDATION The Commission has several alternatives regarding this request. The Commission may approve, approve with conditions, request additional information and table the consideration or deny the request based on the fact findings cannot be made that any of the proposed improvements conform to the guidelines for Site Alterations to a Heritage Preservation Site and the Downtown Design Review District. Staff recommends the Commission discuss the proposed alterations. If the Commission finds the exterior alterations conform to the guidelines, staff would recommend approval with the following conditions: 1. The facade renovations are limited to what has been submitted as part of Design Permit 2015-52. 2. All major revisions to the approved plan shall be reviewed by the Heritage Preservation Commission.

BALAY ARCHITECTS, 201 2 r\200F FF,',4',\Iv\IN6 FLA & HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING DATE: December 7, 2015 REGARDING: Postcard Appreciation Program PREPARED BY: Abbi Jo Wittman, City Planner BACKGROUND At the Commission's last regularly -scheduled meeting staff informed the Commission that the HPC has been given the 'good to go' on the development of a program that would acknowledge the smaller efforts individual property owners do to maintain their old homes. This was based on previous discussions with the Commission regarding the need to celebrate the minor repairs and upgrades of individual property owners whose property is not located in the historic core. At the meeting staff advised that the development of a program outline would be created and brought back for Commission review. It was also noted Commissioner Welty had offered staff design services for the postcard. PROGRAM OUTLINE Attached are draft specifications for the program. As discussion of what the program was and how it could be expanded was brought up at the last meeting, staff advised the Commission having a clear set of principles for the program will help ensure not only its success but that it will be relatively easy, requiring little staff time, to manage and administer. The essence of the program is that no greater than twice weekly staff may send a pre - developed postcard to a property owner who has conducted work that includes, but is not limited to, painting, siding patching, window glazing, masonry repointing, broken window pane replacement, foundation grading, and reroofing to their 100 year old, non -designated residential structure or commercial structure in a residential district. Upgrades to plumbing, electrical and mechanical components may also be acknowledged. No acknowledgments would be made to work that was inappropriately conducted (i.e. without a permit) or that was done with inappropriate materials. Actions taken to the property must have generally followed the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. The postcard will advise the property owner that, with the owner's permission, the City may publicly acknowledge their work. This would be done one time annually during the National Preservation Week and through the means of the City's website, social media platforms and through press releases. Through not written into the program, it is the hope the City will sponsor an acknowledgement in the local newspaper, which would be done in conjunction with the annual preservation awards. POSTCARD DEVELOPMENT As directed by the Commission at the last meeting, Commissioner Welty has designed the attached postcard draft. Admitting to have little direction from the Commission, Welty sought guidance from staff. As this is a program of the HPC, it is the role of the HPC to determine what is appropriate for the postcard content. The only recommendations staff would like to make is that the postcard is universal (can be utilized for all projects and properties) and that it utilizes the front and back of the card. In addition determination of the postcard design, the postcards will need to be produced. Staff has been able to find a printer who will be able to produce the postcards for (approximately) twenty five cents apiece; this will give an approximate cost per postcard of sixty cents and allow the program to run for approximately two and a half years. A few limitations/opportunities exist for the production of the postcards: • The card will need to be between 3.5"X5" and 4.25"X6". • The card may be printed on both sides. • Coloring on the front of the card will cost the same amount as black and white. • Black and white coloring on the back side of the card will not result in additional charges. COMMISSION ACTION The Commission should review the draft program outline and discuss for determination of alterations and modifications. If the Commission is comfortable with the program specifications, the Commission should move to approve the program specifications. The Commission should review the draft postcard and discuss for determination of alterations and modifications. As the draft design only displays the front of the card, the Commission should discuss what message and/or design could be incorporated on the rear of the card. City of Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission Postcard Appreciation Program: Program Specifications Background: At the 2015 Statewide Historic Preservation Conference, HPC members, their City Council liaison, and staff listened to the presentation of Ms. Susan West Montgomery, Vice President for Preservation Resources at the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Ms. West advised one of the challenges facing modern preservation efforts was a lack of acknowledgment of the smaller efforts private property owners were taking to preserve, rehabilitation and restore their older structures and sites. As the historic character of Stillwater's residential neighborhoods is vital to the preservation community character, staff began to work with the HPC on the development of an appreciation program. Purpose: Complimenting the HPC annual awards program, to develop and implement a program routinely acknowledging the small efforts of private property owners who maintain, repair, and upgrade the exterior facade of their non -designated old homes or older structures in residential districts. Intent: The economic recession created challenges for property owners across the United States. While many properties with old homes went into foreclosure, a more serious threat to the residential housing stock of Stillwater was deferred maintenance. Although it is a responsibility of home owners to maintain their properties, property owners of old homes are particularly challenged as historic materials require greater and more frequent maintenance and care than modern materials do. Often, maintenance has not occurred and this deferred maintenance has negative implications to the structure, neighborhood and community in relationship to economics and aesthetics. It is the intent of the Stillwater Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) to endorse the efforts of individual property owner who maintain and repair their non -designated older homes to help fulfill the HPC's purpose and meet certain Comprehensive Plan goals and implementation measurements. When property owners maintain, repair, and upgrade their old homes, they are assisting in HPC's purpose to "safeguard the city's heritage by preserving...structures..." and "protect and enhance the city's appeal and attraction...," in turn helping to achieve a 2008 Comprehensive Plan (2008 CP) goal to "promote tourism consistent with retaining Stillwater's unique ... historic and architectural character." These private efforts should not go unnoticed by the City of Stillwater. The efforts of individual property owners are what keeps the community historically appropriate and inviting to visitors. By showing the HPC's support for the individual efforts of private property owners, owners are more likely to feel a sense of accomplishment and pride in their activities. This might not only be to their own property, but to their individual neighborhood and to the Stillwater community. This program may help fulfill the HPC purpose to "enhance the visual and aesthetic character" and "foster civic pride..." Furthermore, structures with a desirable condition and which contain high historical integrity are more eligible to be listed on the local historic register list. As a 2008 CP implementation item is to "... consider locally designating those properties worthy of historic preservation," this program will help the HPC identify those properties that may be eligible for local listing. A 2008 CP goal is to "consider establishing incentive programs for rehabilitation of older buildings." By monitoring and recognizing the maintenance. Repair, and upgrade efforts of property owners, the HPC will be better able to assess the types of projects conducted and the valuation of the work. While routine maintenance, such as painting, cannot be measured, larger rehabilitation and restoration projects can be. This program will help the HPC and the City track projects and valuation to help work towards a 2008 CP implementation item to "seek funds, public or through private lenders, to be used to repair/restore architecturally significant homes or sites." Eligibility: To be eligible for the program, the structure must be at least 100 years old and may not be designated on the local, state or national register. The structure must be a residence, or a commercial building in a residential district. The property owner, or property owner's designee, must have taken some action to maintain and/or repair the historic materials and/or character of the structure which may or may not have required a building permit. Actions taken to the property must have generally followed the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Maintenance and repair to a property includes, but is not limited to, painting, siding patching, window glazing, masonry repointing, broken window pane replacement, foundation grading, and reroofing. Plumbing, electrical and heating and air conditioning upgrades on the interior of the home are also eligible. Work conducted in conjunction with a building permit will be acknowledged upon final inspection of the building permit. Application of inappropriate materials (e.g. installation of vinyl siding) or inappropriate application procedures (i.e. removal of a front porch) will not be endorsed by the HPC. Additionally, work requiring a building permit where no building permit was obtained will not be endorsed by the HPC. Procedure: Administered by HPC staff, and in conjunction with the City's Building Department, the HPC will routinely send a pre -developed appreciation postcard to a property owner who have recently maintained, repaired, and/or upgraded their property. The HPC may advise staff of work being conducted and should be considered for acknowledgement. Staff will track the property address, the owner's name, the (general) work conducted, the valuation of the project (if known) as well as the date of the acknowledgement for record keeping purposes. Staff will monitor the location of properties and aim to distribute postcards to a diversity of properties throughout the community. To ensure the program is not taxing to administer, no greater than two properties will be acknowledged in a given week. In the event the property owner indicates the HPC may do so, the HPC may publicly acknowledge the exterior improvement efforts of the property owner through the City's website, social media, press releases, etc. during National Preservation Week and in conjunction with the annual preservation awards. In this circumstance, the City will only release the property owner's first name, the property address and acknowledge the work conducted. 45t In 0 0 > '3f11VA SiI 011VN0I1LIOdOLId SI 133r80 NV 01 3OVINVQ < Gilded Toolbox Award Jl xee 7ml/f>?/ 9/ W(, xl.3 IN PRESERVING OR RENEWING THE CHARACTE OF THIS PROPERTY AT IN THE HISTORIC TOWN OF (174'aiee, Fir/pi/Oki/CI.
