Case No. 2018-07: Consideration of a Design Review Permit for new business signage for the property located at 214 Main Street South in the CBD District. Mike Lynskey, property owner and Kathy Lipps, applicant. Chairman Larson asked for clarification on the brackets to be used. City Planner Wittman said she assumed the design detail provided is a rendering of existing brackets. Chairman Larson said he has no issues if new brackets are used, since there is no existing sign package for the entire building. He suggested adding a condition of approval stating, if the bracket is replaced, that it be black metal similar to existing brackets. Motion by Chairman Larsen, seconded by Commissioner Mino, to approve Case No. 2018-07, Design Review Permit for new business signage for the property located at 214 Main Street South with the five conditions recommended by staff, adding Condition F stating that if the brackets are replaced, they shall be black metal in a similar style as the existing brackets. All in favor, 5-0. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting April 18, 2018 Page 2 of 3 Case No. 2018-09: Consideration of a Design Review Permit for window replacement for the property located at 101 Third Street South in the CBD District. Edward Schmidt, applicant. City Planner Wittman stated that the applicant is requesting a Design Permit to replace all windows on the structure with vinyl wrapped, wood Anderson 200 series windows in a sand finish to match the existing, upper story horizontal vinyl siding. The proposal includes a slight modification of the existing, lower level windows, as the 5’ wide by 6’ tall window opening is too large for a double hung window to operate efficiently. Therefore, the applicant is proposing the replacement of the single, double hung window with two, double hung windows separated by a grille. With the exception of the smallest openings, all first story openings on the north and east façades will be approximately 6’ tall. The openings, when finished, will have solider coursing and exterior mulleins in a five over five pattern, as exists today. The upper story windows, where possible, will be replaced 1:1 with the same level of detail and trim as the lower level windows. Exterior mulleins will be reduced to between four over four, down to two over two, depending on the overall window size. Staff recommends approval with five conditions. Edward Schmidt and Tim Brown, applicants, stated that they plan to replace the original windows, adding grilles on the top half. The bottom will be open so it looks more original. The openings won’t change. Chairman Larson questioned whether the muntins or grilles will fit the historic character of the building. He would prefer grilles to be located on the exterior of the panes if possible, as opposed to them being between the panes of glass. Mr. Brown said they could have the muntins on the exterior if requested. Motion by Commissioner Steinwall, seconded by Commissioner Mino, to approve Case No. 2018-09, Design Review Permit for window replacement for the property located at 101 Third Street South, with the five conditions recommended by staff, amending Condition D to state that the windows shall have exterior grilles in a similar pattern as, or as close as possible to, the existing divided pattern. Motion passed 5-0. PUBLIC HEARING Case No. 2018-08: Consideration of a Design Review Permit to build a new single family home with an attached two car garage located at 107 Everett Street South in the RB District. Mark and Karen Petersen. City Planner Wittman stated that the applicant is requesting a permit to construct a two and a half story, single-family residence at 107 Everett Street South, a vacant lot in the Neighborhood Conservation District. The house will have a single, front facing, asymmetrical 12/12 pitch, gable roof on both the house and its attached recessed garage. The house will be sided with a combination of dark gray, cement fiber, board and batten and lap siding in cedar or IPE natural wood. This will be carried on all four sides of the home. The roof areas will have composite shingles with metal accents over porches, walkways and protruding additions. Windows will be a gunmetal gray. The house will have an open, covered front stoop and porch with a rear yard screened porch. It appears that there will be little exposed foundation but what is exposed to proposed to remain as poured concrete walls. Staff finds that while this modern design would not fit within most traditional neighborhoods in Stillwater, it does not detract from the character of this dead-end street. With certain conditions, the project substantially conforms to the adopted guidelines and, therefore, staff recommends approval with seven conditions. Applicant Mark Petersen said he plans to raise the driveway about four feet but there won’t be much grade change on the south side of the house. Chairman Larson opened the public hearing. There were no comments. The public hearing was closed. Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting April 18, 2018 Page 3 of 3 Commissioner Hadrits questioned whether the garage door design fits the home design. Mr. Petersen said he tried to make the garage look detached even though it is attached, to reduce the appearance of the massing. Chairman Larson said he appreciates how the scale and massing of the house fits the neighborhood and conforms to the Conservation District Guidelines. Motion by Commissioner Mino, seconded by Commissioner Krakowski, to approve Case No. 2018-08, Design Review Permit to build a new single family home with an attached two car garage located at 107 Everett Street South, with the seven conditions recommended by staff. All in favor, 5-0. OTHER ITEMS OF DISCUSSION National Preservation Month and Preservation Awards (May) Ms. Wittman led discussion of potential candidates for the annual preservation awards.
