He talked about the Kastamas never ending work on the trails, and stated his approval of the request.

Mr. Larson inquired as to whether Ms. Kastama would be able to have the first use of the swing, Ms. Harris stated that yes, that it could be arranged and coordinated at the opening ceremony. Mr. Perkinson moved to recommend approval of this request to be forwarded on to City Council, with a second by Mr. Gerstmann. The Board voted, and the motion passed 4-0. AGENDA ITEMS Downtown Design Review Pre-application Newell Hunt Furniture (113 W. Stewart) Ms. Wals gave a brief introduction of the application for a two-phase project for the existing building and the adjacent property to the east. Ms. Wals explained that the first phase will involve the replacement of the awnings, and phase two will include window replacement and a residential loft expansion. Board feedback and question: Mr. Larson read comments from Chairman Kris Stamon into the record: o o o The application package is well put together and is a good example for future submittals. The awning replacement as submitted is acceptable, but wouldn t typically recommend approving a fabric awning as opposed to glass or steel canopy. The attributes of the proposed awning that are important are the open bottom and ends which will give the awning a lighter feel and the apparent high quality fabric and construction. Would like to see more detail of the height revision to the existing parapet cornice. This is an important building component and if not done well, could negatively change the character of the building. It is not clear what material is being proposed for the additional height. Mr. Larson asked how it is being presented, as a historic structure or as a structure in the Central Business District (CBD) Core that would fall under the Downtown Design Guidelines, Ms. Wals explained that it is not listed on the register so it would be presented as a building of significant age, and existing in the CBD-Core. Mr. Larson also inquired as to the solar panel being installed on the roof, Ms. Wals explained that staff doesn t have any concerns as far as design review, but certainly welcomes feedback from the Board regarding that. Suggestion by the Board to set back the newly built parapet, directly behind the existing parapet. 4 Page 2 of 3

5 Ms. Wals asked the Board if they have any concerns regarding the proposed three separate awnings as opposed to a continuous awning along the full length of the building. Mr. Gerstmann stated that even though the concept does not fully meet the guidelines, it seems true to the historical context of the building. Mr. Perkinson agreed that it meets the historical quality, and does not seem out of place for the area. Mr. Larson inquired as to the construction of the awning, Amy DeDominicus, architect on the project, stated that the canopy of the awning will sit underneath the existing sill. Mr. Larson asked if the Board could see a rendering of what the 3 separate awnings will look like when completed at a future meeting. Mr. Utterback explained to the Board that if they would like to see the building, that staff could coordinate with the applicant to schedule a walk through before the next meeting. The consensus of the Board was that they would like to go on a walk-through of the building. Ms. Wals explained that staff will follow up and schedule a walk-through of the structure for the Board. Mr. Larson stated that before moving on to Board business he would like to revisit the earlier public hearing topic the swing naming, and wanted to make things official by making a motion to request that Diane Kastama will be the first to use the swing. Mr. Gerstmann seconded the motion. The Board voted, and the motion passed 4-0. OTHER BOARD BUSINESS Ms. Baker stated that the City had received a certificate for being a part of the Certified Local Government (CLG) preservation program since August of 2011, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act of Ms. Baker stated that staff will have it framed and will put it in the Historic Preservation display on the second floor of City Hall.
