Accompanying the application are illustrations of the signs and a photograph of the building.

Any retail, restaurant or beverage business may display one (1) neon sign of not more than six (6) square feet in a first-floor window, provided the sign advertises food, beverage, products or services provided on premises.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE FRENCHTOWN PRESERVATION DISTRICT Chapter VII: Guidelines for Signs Sign Context 7.1 Consider the building front as part of an overall sign program. a. Coordinate the overall façade composition, including ornamental details and signs. b. Signs also should be in proportion to the building such that they do not dominate the appearance. 7.2 A sign must be subordinate to the overall building composition. a. A sign shall appear to be in scale with the façade. b. Locate a sign on a building such that it will emphasize design elements of the façade itself. In no case should a sign obscure architecture details or features. c. Mount signs to fit within existing architectural features. Use signs to help reinforce the horizontal lines of moldings and transoms seen along the street. 7.3 A sign shall be in character with the material, color and detail of the building. a. Simple letter styles and graphic designs are more appropriate on many of the restrained, vernacular structures found on North Second Street. Sign Materials 7.14 Sign materials shall be compatible with that of the building façade. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff finds the size, designs, materials, placement and colors of both signs to be acceptable. Both signs are simple in their designs and will not detract from the building or the streetscape. One neon sign is permitted for retail purposes within in the district and can be Permit No. 2024-2079 Page 3 913 North Second Street no larger than 6 sq. ft. The proposed neon sign is below this requirement and is directly related to the business, making it compliant with City Code. The hanging sign will be attached to the existing pole by black chains and have a head height clearance of over 8’. Staff recommends approval of the signs as submitted. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve two signs for the business, Dirty River Records at 913 North Second Street, as submitted.

Since our last meeting, the applicant has collaborated with Staff to identify an appropriate lighting fixture for the building. Additionally, Staff consulted the Missouri State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for their feedback. Due to the project’s historic tax credits, SHPO informed us that the light fixtures must be submitted to the National Park Service for approval, as they were not in the original submittal. While this process may take some time, SHPO advised us to proceed with the light fixture Landmarks review to ensure local compliance. The proposed gooseneck sconce meets the necessary lighting requirements for egress and ingress entryways. Both Staff and SHPO agreed that this fixture would be most suitable to provide the needed lighting, and in the case it does not meet National Park Service standards, the applicant will have to return with an alternative fixture. While this proposed fixture would not have been seen on a structure built in 1880, the historic photo showcases no outdoor lighting, as this was not common at the time. With this being the case, along with SHPO’s advice, Staff is comfortable recommending approval of the gooseneck sconces for the purpose and use of this structure. The original staff report is attached to this memo for reference. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve exterior light fixtures at 1425 North Second Street, as submitted 200 North Second Street Saint Charles, MO 63301 Ph: 636.949.3222 Fax: 636.949.3557 www.stcharlescitymo.gov  AGENDA ITEM #6A STAFF REPORT LIGHT FIXTURE 1425 NORTH SECOND STREET CASE NO. C/A EC-2024-024 APPLICANT: Megan Wilson 50 Mitch Lane Silex, MO 63377 OWNER: All Aboard Accommodations LLC 52508 Norwoods Pl. Hannibal, MO 63401 ADDRESS/LOCATION: 1425 North Second Street ZONING: FD – Frenchtown District FPD – Frenchtown Preservation District PROPOSED USE: Commercial – Inn MEETING DATE: May 13, 2024 BACKGROUND Built in 1880, the subject property is located at 1425 North Second Street in the Frenchtown Preservation District. In August 2022, the applicant received approval to rehabilitate the vacant property. The project has been through the State Historic Preservation Office and is currently being reviewed by the National Park Service in order to receive historic tax credits to help fund the project. The applicant is now requesting approval to install new light fixtures on the structure. Attached to this report are photographs of the property and images of the proposed light fixtures. APPLICABLE DESIGN GUIDELINES § 156.069 FPD FRENCHTOWN PRESERVATION DISTRICT. (C) Architectural review for contributing properties. (1) No person shall alter the exterior appearance of any building without first obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmarks Board. In reviewing applications for a Certificate of Appropriateness, design guidelines adopted for the district by City Council shall be used. (2) Every application for a building permit for construction of, additions to, and exterior alterations of, any contributing building or structure and for every new structure shall be submitted to the Landmarks Board for issuance of a Certificate of Appropriateness. (F) A Certificate of Appropriateness is required for any paint color change on any building or sign that fronts on Second Street, within the Frenchtown Preservation District. The HLPARB will consider the selection of colors and how color is applied in color schemes. In general, the HLPARB seeks the use of colors that replicate those used C/A 2022-040 2 1425 North Second Street historically. Colors shall be equivalent to or like the colors from one of the following: Sherwin Williams Arts & Crafts, Sherwin Williams Victorian, Benjamin Moore Historical Color Collection, and Benjamin Moore Exterior Palettes. For this purpose, the HLPARB maintains a chart of approved colors. ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR THE FRENCHTOWN PRESERVATION DISTRICT Chapter VI: Guidelines for All Projects: Mechanical Equipment & Service Utilities 6.15 Use lighting as it was used historically in the district. a. All light sources shall be shielded. d. Exposed light bulbs are not permitted. Textured glass is encouraged where the bulb would show. 6.16 Lights shall appear to be consistent with the time period. a. This includes lights on buildings and in yards. b. Lighting shall not detract from architectural features of the house. c. Architectural lighting may be considered with a model example. STAFF RECOMMENDATION The proposed lighting is for safety and accessibility for each door on the hotel. The proposed light fixtures are black metal sconces. The sconces will be directed downwards towards the respected entryways. The gooseneck sconce (see figure 2, page 4) that is being proposed however was not common until the 1920’s, while this structure was constructed late 19th century. Staff has suggested the applicant implement a more time period appropriate sconce for the exterior lighting. At the time of the writing of this report, the applicant has not provided a different example to Staff. Due to the proposed lighting fixture not being what would have been used historically on a structure this age, Staff does not recommend approval of the submitted light fixture. Recommended Motion: Motion to approve exterior light fixtures at 1425 North Second Street, as submitted (Note: Staff does not recommend the exterior lighting be approved). C/A 2022-040 3 1425 North Second Street Figure 1: 1425 North 2nd Street from street. C/A 2022-040 4 1425 North Second Street Figure 2: Proposed light fixture for the building. C/A 2022-040 5 1425 North Second Street Figure 3: time period appropriate light fixtures.  AGENDA ITEM #6B STAFF REPORT REAR DECK AND STAIRS DOORS & WINDOWS 429 MCDONOUGH STREET CASE NO.
