DRB Minutes July 9,2004 Page 1 of 4 • AGENDA ITEM NO.4: Discussion, consideration and possible action on faVade changes to Antonio's Pizza by the Slice located at 104 College Main in the Northgate Design District. (04-21) Staff Planner Jennifer Prochazka presented the staff report and stated that on April 15, 2004, requests to change tile and trim colors to maroon, green, and/or red were tabled. Board members recommended that the property owner reconsider trim colors, not change the tile, clean the brick, work with the windows to lighten the space, and window signage. The Board also responded positively to the idea of a single pedestrian sign. At this time, the applicant again is asking to rehabilitate the front of the fagade of the building by changing the tile color and repainting the door and window trim to red, green, or maroon. Also proposed is an approximately 5 sq. ft. neon window sign and two 10 in x 5 ft wooden pedestrian signs. Mr. Benning stated that at a previous meeting staff was going to look to see if there was anything historic about the tiles. Ms. Prochazka stated that as far back as they can find the black tile has been there. The earliest picture is in the 1960's. Mr. Shafer stated that his feelings are still the same with the previous recommendations made by the Board. Mr. Shafer discussed the pictures provided in the Board's packet. He stated that he liked the front lighting for the attached signage. Jessica Jimmerson stated that looking at the pictures, the owners first choice was the maroon on maroon. They want to match what is going on in the interior of the building. Ms. Jimmerson stated that at the previous meeting there were things mentioned, but not approved, since the item was tabled. There was discussion concerning replacing some of the front windows and that now has been done. The flood lights exist now for lighting the sign on the top of the fagade. There was some discussion about the existing benches at the front of the building and possibly painting them green. She went on to explain that the benches in the promenade area are bronze metal. She hoped to get to the Board's blessing on leaving the benches the color they are now. She did see some benches painted green but explained they are so faded that they are basically wood. Ms. Jimmerson ended by saying that she hoped to get the approval to leave the two benches the color they are, approving the flood lights and giving the approval on the new windows that have been installed. Ms. Prochazka replied that the windows do not need approval. Ms. Jimmerson stated that she understands there has been a lot of debate on the trim and tile color. The applicant's first choice is to have maroon trim and maroon tile. Ms. Jimmerson stated that she understands that there has been a lot of discussion among staff about the Secretary of Interior Guidelines and how long the the has been there. Ms. Jimmerson went on to say that several people she had talked to that have been long time business owners in the area seem to recall that the whole fagade was replaced in the 70's. DRB Minutes July 9,2004 Page 2 of 4 Ms. Jimmerson handed out photos showing some damage that exists on the tiles. She explained that the business owner has power washed and hand washed the tiles trying to improve the look. She went on to say that in reviewing all the requirements in the ordinance and looking at the Secretary of Interiors requirements, she thinks it is recommended and highly encouraged in the UDO that you follow the Secretary of Interiors standards, but it does not appear that it is a "you have to" edict. She added that the whole reason it is allowed to come to this Board is that there is some allowance for variation from the Secretary of Interior in certain circumstances and that the owner is wanting to make a small variation. Ms. Jimmerson discussed the pedestrian oriented signs. They are requesting two, one at each end of the awning. Ms. Jimmerson described one small change to the proposed neon window sign. The sign would hang horizontal and the sign would read "Antonio's Pizza". The word "pizza" being under"Antonio's". The Board had continued discussions concerning the tile. Mr. Shafer stated if you want to maintain the character in an area you have to stop things form changing. Mr. Whalen stated that if he has to keep the tile black he wants to paint the trim maroon. There was no objection from the Board. Mr. Benning made the motion to keep the the black If replacement andlor repair are required of the existing black tile with similar black tile, it would be considered maintenance and would be allowed without additional review of the DRB; Approval of the trim color in the choice of maroon or green; The approval of the revised neon "Antonio's Pizza"sign in the window; The approval of the two pedestrian oriented signs, one at each awning;And the approval to leave the two benches in the front of the store as they are. Mr. McLean seconded the motion, which passed unopposed(4-0). AGENDA ITEM NO. 5: Discussion, consideration and possible action on a concept plan for Spring Creek Gardens of SH-6 near Greens Prairie Road. (04-114) Staff Planner Jennifer Reeves presented the staff report. Ms. Reeves told the Board that the applicant has proposed 52 residential lots. There will be 0.719 acres of common areas that will be used for traffic calming, landscaping, drainage, and pedestrian connectively to the adjoining neighborhood. The applicant is requesting some relief on some setbacks. DRB Minutes July 9,2004 Page 3 of 4 A modification to the required block length will also be requested, but as it is a variance to a Subdivision Regulation, it must be decided by the Planning and Zoning Commission. The DRB may make a recommendation on this item. Ms. Reeves stated staff is recommending approval. The Board discussed the development. Mr. Phillips and Mr. Schultz explained the concept plan. Mr. Benning made the motion to approve the concept plan as presented. Mr. Ware seconded the motion, which passed unopposed(4-0).
