OLD BUSINESS
968 Colorado Avenue, townhouse, Chelmo (ARC 21-28) The applicant described the
building changes to create the 8 corners – stepped in the rear 2-feet and left the front the
same width, added a bump-out to the sides, swapped out the light gray and dark gray.
Described the landscaping plan changes. Materials remain the same.
Tracy – the landscaping looks nice
Diane (comments via email) – appreciate the changes made on the duplex and feel that
they have stepped up to the plate in landscaping and changing the building plan to allow
for eight corners
Stacy (comments via email) – Landscaping Plan - Looks like they now have one. Not a
ton of detail but appreciate they have prepared a plan for what could be. I know there are
others who can speak to the specifics; Building Itself - Moving from one big block; Looks
like they took the recommendation to do a setback for the back section of the
units. Definitely an improvement. It's still a big block of a building, but I think they've met
the requirements and suggestions we laid out; and I recognize that the lot is creating
some constraints
Paul – opportunity to landscaping at the driveway lawn to complement the neighbor’s
landscaping Meets the requirements.
Tracy – like the colors and contrast with the bump-out
Paul – likes it no other comments
Christine – appreciates the updates
Motion:
Tracy – move to approve
Christine – 2nd
Discussion: none

Vote: motion passes unanimously
Mixed Use Bldg, 34 Lupfer Avenue, material change, MT Creative (ARC 20-05) The
applicant described the materials – hunter green metal panel. Described the materials
and purpose for the change. It should look pretty similar with hints of green. Hand applied
on-site with a horizontal relief and few verticals.
Christine – recalled committee liked the hunter green appreciates it will stay in the green
family
Tracy – is the material just as durable as metal yes
Christine – more like a traditional stucco? Yes, harder than stucco
Paul – looks good
