Awning (Brew Kettle)
Submitted by Mike Sheets, Bright Covers
a) Staff notes the applicant is proposing a 1,346 square foot awning that
would replace the existing window canopy.
b) The proposal was presented to AHBR on August 9th and tabled. The
applicant requested to bring a sample of the proposed roof material to
present to the board.
c) The Architectural Design Standards state awnings shall be retractable and
made of canvas or other fabric on a metal frame. Awnings shall not be
backlit. Awning colors shall be compatible with the sign and building
colors. Staff acknowledges a traditional canvas awning may not
complement the architecture of the building; suggest a design with a metal
roof with thicker framing and posts that could be more compatible with the
existing structure. Compatibility is important as the proposed location is
highly visible from the street.
d) Question the framing as depicted intersecting the metal architectural
features above the glass entryways. Staff notes the proposed canopy would
also obscure these entryways.
