RE: 106 College Main
Dear Mr. Sweiden:
We have completed out review of your proposed changes to 106 College Main and are
denying the request based on the following:
• The subject property is a medium priority in e Northgate Historic Resources
Survey and must meet the following standar which are outlines in the Unified
Development Ordinance Section 5.6.B.3, wilding Design Considerations for
Historic Properties:
"The historic character of aVtoper be retained and preserved. Distinctive
materials or features and spships that characterize a property shall
not be removed or altered."
The removal of the recessed entry and the display windows would remove the spatial
relationship that makes this storefront a unique property that the City wishes to
preserve.
• Additionally, any new signs must be in compliance with Section 5.6 of the Unified
Development Ordinance which does not allow signs to block any architectural detail
of the building. This includes the canopy. The new sign is also permitted by a
separate permit and have not been approved
I would be happy to review any revised proposal that you feel meets the standards of the
Unified Development Ordinance, however, the alterations of the symmetry of the building
will not be approved by the staff. A waiver process is available through the Design Review
Board if the proposal generally conforms to the standards, and preserves the historical
appearance and architectural character of the building. If you have any questions, please give
me a call at (979) 764-3570.
