Item Background: This item was first presented to the Design Review Board on March 24th and again on April 25th of this year. At that time, the Design Review Board approved the proposed plan to utilize the roof of the Sparks Building, located at the intersection of College Main and University Drive, for a rooftop bar. The approval included a `brick veneer structure" on the roof. The DRB stated during the discussion that the brick used for the roof addition should match the brick previously used for the stairwell structure addition on College Main. The approved elevations reflect that discussion. Upon completion, it is apparent to staff that the brick used on the rooftop structure does not match the stairwell structure, as required by the Design Review Board. The applicant indicated that an alternative color was chosen to allow for the use of a brick veneer due to structural issues with matching brick's weight and that a matching brick veneer was not available. Issues/Items for Review: At this time, the Design Review Board is being asked to consider an alternate brick color than was previously approved. If an alternative to the proposed material is approved by the DRB, the existing brick veneer would need to be removed and replaced with the approved material. Supporting Materials: 1. Application 2. DRB minutes from March 24, 2008 and April 25, 2008 (included in packet) 3. Brick samples (available at the meeting) 4.

Signature of Owner, Agent or Applicant Date Page 2 of 2 March 24, 2008 AGENDA ITEM NO. 2: Presentation, possible action, and discussion for a waiver to Building Design Considerations for Historic Properties in the Northgate Districts for the Corner Bar located at 401 University Drive. Case #08-00500043 (CH) Crissy Hartl, Staff Planner, presented the item stating that the applicant is requesting waivers from the building design standards for historic properties to create a rooftop bar to the Sparks Building located in Northgate. The applicant has proposed to use the roof as a bar and seating area for their customers which will be guarded from the edge of the building by a 50" tall metal rail. Andrew Hawkins, the applicant's architect, answered questions in general about the building's current and proposed structure. Hunter Goodwin, Alan King, and Ward Wells expressed concern about the proposed use of stucco on a historic building and suggested that the applicant propose an alternate material that would create a better transition in material from the original building to the new roof area. Board Members entertained a possibility of creating a parapet to discourage people from climbing over the metal railing near the edge of the building. However, Molly Hitchcock, Planning Administrator, explained that staff had originally discouraged the applicant from pursuing a parapet because in the future a rail could be removed to get back to the original structure of the building, whereas creating a parapet would permanently alter the building. Hunter Goodwin motioned to postpone action on the item requesting that the applicant come back to the Design Review Board with design changes that particularly address the material being proposed, demonstrating as much character and style that can be provided, bordering the beams that would be facing the street. Alan King seconded; motion passed (4-0). April 25, 2008 AGENDA ITEM NO. 4: Presentation, possible action and discussion for a waiver to Building Design Considerations for Historic Properties in the Northgate Districts for the Corner Bar located at 401 University Drive. Item # 08-00500043 (CH) Crissy Hartl, Staff Planner, presented the item stating that the applicant had revised the previously submitted elevations to include a new exposed steel structure at the base of the addition which borders the roof line of the building. 8 Ward Wells and Hunter Goodwin expressed their approval of the newly revised elevations showing the clear separation between old and new. Alan King motioned to approve the waivers to the Building Design Considerations for Historic Properties in the Northgate District to include the construction of a brick veneer structure on the roof for the customers which will be guarded by a 50-inch metal rail located two feet from the building edge, the use of a paint color that resembles the color black as submitted, and the building elevations that include an exposed steel structure at the base of the addition. Hunter Goodwin seconded the motion; motion passed (5-0).
