AGENDA ITEM NO.4: Presentation, discussion, and possible action on a fa~ade
change for Paddock Lane Bar located at 109 Boyett in Northgate (CH 05-193).
Staff Planner Crissy Hartl presented the staff report stating that the applicant is proposing
fa9ade changes, building and outdoor patio, and a new sign.
The fa9ade changes include covering the existing cedar planks with standard earth tone
stone materials. The applicant is proposing to recess the right side ofthe building to add a
covered patio for outdoor seating.
Staff Planner Hartl stated that the building is not listed as a structure of priority according
to the Northgate Historic Resources Comprehensive Survey.
The masonry materials the applicant is proposing to use is a neutral Austin Stone, which
meets the recommendations of the Northgate Design Guidelines. The patio will be
approximately 240 square feet and fenced in by a 3 foot aluminum rail. The patio will be
able to hold 3 tables and a 3' 6" bar table, seating a total of 16 people. The sign will be
made of wood with a dark brown stain, which also meets the recommendations of the
Northgate Design Guidelines. The sign will be placed on the wall at pedestrian height and
it meets the size requirements for an attached sign.
The Board was concerned about the bottom fa9ade not matching the fa9ade of the second
story apartments.
Mr. Wells motioned to approve the applicants request with the clarification that the
material used for the outside facade be ACME brick Stonehenge series in the color
Pueblo Ledge, also that the sign is to be manufactured metal approximating the script
in the proposal; Ms. Sawtelle seconded the motion which passed unopposed (6-0).
