OLD BUSINESS Colorado View, Frank Zolfo, minor amendment (ARC 19-52, -53, -54, -55) The applicant presented an update to the Committee to create stagger along the fronts of the buildings by 1-foot off-set. Shane – it's an improvement and something suggested before Diane – definite improvement Motion: Diane – move to approve as submitted Shane – 2nd Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously Wich Haus, 105 Wisconsin Avenue, tabled item (ARC 20-17) The applicant presented an update to the Arch Review Committee. The applicant noted the project is at the back of the building and is in keeping with the building design. Stacy – better understands the projects; no objections Diane – helps to have more clarity Shane – there is more context this time; looks like the building was added on before; elevation doesn't show how the new siding fits together – might want to consider residing to match so there are not three different sidings along the south elevation; consider using the lap siding up into the gable instead of the shakes – makes it a simpler project instead 1 of adding an additional material; it is a little unnecessary; the cornice should be carried around the addition Paul – it would be nice to see all the sidings match the applicant described how that would occur The south elevation – make sure it doesn't look like a 3rd addition the applicant will make sure that occurs Match one of the two existing sidings Kathy – thank you for the additional information; question about a railing if required they will add Any additional changes need to come back to the Committee Shane – assume a building permit will be a requirement Leslie – Still confusing submittal, but there is more detail. Accessible ramp and entry must meet accessibility standards in building code. Motion: Shane – move to approve as submitted Stacy – 2nd Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously Starbucks, 6405 Highway 93 S, MT Creative, minor amendment (ARC 20-06) The applicant presented an update to the Arch Review Committee. The original plan showed a three-sided CMU structure for the garbage with a chain-link gate. Would like to change to chain-link on all sides. Leslie – concerned with the use of chain-link. Not sure it's use warrants an exception, per 3.1.5 Diane – will there be landscaping around it? Yes, it will Kathy – chain-link with vinyl is at the discretion of the Committee Paul – prefers the chain-link with the vinyl versus the massive CMU walls; landscaping would also be helpful Tracy – with landscaping around the three sides would be better Motion: Paul – move to approve as submitted with additional landscaping on the north and south sides of the enclosure Tracy – 2nd Discussion: none Vote: motion passes unanimously NEW BUSINESS Stampede Square, 1005 Baker Avenue, façade change (ARC 20-18) Described the project – significant façade change and interior remodel – 1/3 of the building will be for 2 other tenants.
