Blackwood II Z-9523 Jet o-ffi&-at m�nu�fe_, O,dackvwf 1-0 iAA s cIaie Planner Morris restated the proposed location site of Blackwood II. Mara-Gai Katz inquired to the building keeping it historical preservation once it is moved to a new location. Planner Morris believes it is the actual building that marks the register and perhaps the building would need to be re-registered at a new location. Cliff Chisholm stated the developer was given 90 days at the last meeting to either move the building or demolish it. He feels the time frame is only holding things up because the developer will just wait 90 days and then demolish it. Cliff Chisholm remarked that the DRB has the right to uphold the buildings historical register, and the letter from Mr. Zion was unclear regarding cost and time of moving the building and Cliff Chisholm questioned if a joint agreement between the developer and the State was feasible to share with the funds for the removal of the building. Planner Morris stated the waiting period was imposed to give the Historical Preservation Board time to find a relocation and not put the burden on the developer. Tom Stone, Attorney for the applicant, stated the applicant is willing to have someone come to take the building and asks on the applicants behalf that a short time frame for such recommendation be made. Planner Morris indicated the preservation of the metal panels might be kept as the preservation and used on another building if the moving of the Silent Knight building was not feasible. Cliff Chisholm moved to give the historical preservation Office to June 13th to prepare estimates for moving the building and advise how feasible it is and at that time we can re-evaluate the conditions that were imposed at the last meeting. Kim Walker seconded the motion, and Cliff Chisholm asked for discussion. Marie O'Neal questioned why this isn' t shared by the historical preservation and the applicant in putting forth the proposal . Joe Sabol read section 18 .51 and 18 . 51. 020E from the DRC and DRB books and stated the time is up. Cliff Chisholm repeated the motion and the motion was moved. Planner Morris stated the DRC continued the planning for an additional week to adequately the water and sewer problem which was resolved and a decision by the DRC should be made next week. Cliff Chisholm requested staffs conditions regarding the building. Planner Morris suggested the building was too similar to the Blackwood I building. The South and East elevation is too boxy in appearance and staff recommended the facade be animated with visual recesses and protrusions and to incorporate tresels on the East elevation on the bare portion. Jerry Lacoti, designer of the Blackwood I & II buildings clarified the differences in the buildings using a colored sketch. Cliff Chisholm commented the plainess of the building and feels it is too simple to carry off the appearance of a historical nature. Jerry Lacoti responded it was designed that way due to the cost. Mara-Gai Katz commented on the severity of the 45 degree corner. Jerry Lacoti responded if they squared the corner it would cut down on the parking space. Kim Walker moved to approve the building proposal with condition one as proposed by Planning Staff to include more animations along the lines of the suggestions made by the DRB with final approval subject to the Planning Staff . Ellen Kreighbaum second the motion subject to Planning Staffs approval . Cliff Chisholm stated he would prefer the elevations be evaluated by the board and not staff . Marie O'Neal and Mara-Gai Katz recommended the elevations be returned to the DRB for approval . Cliff Chisholm moved to amend the motion and to require that the elevations be reviewed by the DRB. The amendment carried by unanimous vote. Marie o"Neal questions if the building design can be approved before there is evidence that the Silent Knight building can be moved. Kim Walker stated the two motions are liken. Ellen Kreighbaum made a motion to amend the motion on the floor to condition approval of the building design on resolution of the removal of the building. Kim Walker seconded and the amendment passed. A vote was then taken to approve the building proposal with condition one as proposed by the Planning Staff to include more animations along the lines of the suggestion of the Planning Staff on the condition of approval of the resolution of the removal of the Silent Knight building. The amended motion carried by unanimous vote. 3 . Hoadley COA Z-9559 Planner Akrell announced the project was an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition of an existing 201811 x 221611 shed and replaced with a 22' x 24 ' wood frame storage shed and garage. Planner Akrell noted the new shed will require a deviation from Section 18 . 20 . 050 to allow the new garage to encroach six feet into the required ten foot rear yard set back. Planner Akrell announced the Planning Staff recommended approval of the C.O.A. with the following conditions : A walk door be added near the northwest corner of the new garage; the applicant shall consider adding a window on the north side of the new garage and a building permit must be obtained within one year of issuance of the Certificate of Appropriateness . Applicant Ed Hoadley stated the door was inadvertently left out of the plans, and they would prefer not to put a window on the north side for security reasons as the garage will house his classic mustang. Ellen Kreighbaum moved to recommended approval of the proposal to include the three staff recommendations as stated. Marie O'Neal agreed with the applicant that the window need not be required due to security reasons . Ellen Kreighbaum stated the Planning Staff recommendation reads "shall consider adding a window" which means it is only a suggestion not a recommendation therefore, the motion to approve can stand as is . Kim Walker seconded and the motion was approved. 4. Jackpot East CUP Z-9540 Planner Windemaker reported the recommendations as noted on the Design Review Board Staff Report . Marie O'Neal and Mara-Gai Katz questioned the 6 : 12 pitch roof and strongly suggested a deeper pitch on the addition and similar pitch on the exsiting building. Kim Walker voiced concerns regarding the different colors of the building. Ellen Kreighbaum voiced concerns regarding the entry way being too busy . Jim Boss, Architect, remarked on the above concerns : the colors would be exactly like the Jack Pot on the East end, environmentally the applicant did not want to demolish the existing building , therefore a 6 : 12 pitch would be too high and the exhaust fans would be too difficult to instal and work properly with that height a pitch. Cliff Chisholm moved for a motion to approve the Conditional Use Permit as per Planning Staff' s recommendations excluding condition 1 and to include conditions 2- 8 . Kim Walker seconeded and the motion was approved. 5. Empire Building Materials Z-9550 Planner Skelton reviewed the proposal and indicated that the formal recommendation to the City Commission was denial from the DRC. He remarked that he has met with the applicant since the recommendation of denial and they have agreed to comply recommendations of that Committee. Planner Skelton noted the proposed deviations and recommended changes to the proposal . He further clarified that staff is recommending denial as the Planning Office feels there should be some level of compromise concerning the impacts on surrounding area. Kim Walker remarked that the recommended changes would seem to address the concerns regarding impacts on the neighborhood. She further commented that installation of landscaping in the area of the off-street parking along East Main Street, as recommended by staff, would aid in the visual impact at the intersection. Ron Hines said that although the mailbox might limit the possibilities in the subject area, they will look into the potential for additional landscaping. He added that additional low profile landscaping would benefit the northwest corner of the property. Planner Skelton noted that the existing billboard would be removed as part of the proposal . Maire O'Neill voiced concern regarding parking vehicles next to semi- trucks and asked if there would be any buffering between the two. Ron Hines responded that the subject parking would be for employees . Maire O'Neill suggested that the employee parking area be either buffered from the large trucks or clear delineated. Cliff Chisholm commented that he views the idea of an existing business making improvements to their property as a positive step forward. Dave Skelton commented that the proposal is to install curb sidewalks in lieu of boulevard sidewalks as recommended by staff . Kim walker moved, seconded by Maire O'Neill, to recommend approval of the proposal with the conditions set forth by staff with the amendment to condition #1 to allow for a curb sidewalk in lieu of the boulevard sidewalk, and to include the additional low profile landscaping at the northwest corner of the property.
