Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 10, 2011 <br />Page 5 of 7 <br /> <br />There was further discussion between the applicant and the Commission regarding the <br />conservation easement. The primary topic discussed was the maintenance <br />requirements. <br />There was discussion about including the architectural and engineering fees in the <br />grant. The HPC determined to include the architectural and engineering fees in the <br />grant request. <br />There was discussion regarding the design of the marquee. Blanchard explained his <br />current design was based on costs. <br />Lewis asked what material the arch would be. <br />Blanchard answered it would be steel with rope lights. <br />Lewis asked if the light bulb detail, shown on the historical photo, would be included in <br />the new design of the marquee. <br />Blanchard stated the current sign code would not permit the light bulbs. <br />The Commission and Blanchard discussed other specific sign design questions. <br />Lewis and Speier asked how the arch would be designed since the windows appeared <br />to be flush to the building face. Would the windows need to be recessed? <br />Blanchard answered how the arch would be applied without affecting the windows. <br />Lewis stated it appeared the applicant was paying close attention to details. <br />Poppitz asked about exterior lighting. Blanchard answered his question. <br />Speier stated this will be a design improvement from what is currently there today. <br />However, he warned against Main Street becoming Disneyland. <br />Lewis stated she agreed Louisville might look too “fabricated” but said this is not the <br />applicant’s fault. A discussion of this topic should be taken to a much larger forum. <br />Tofte asked fit the scope of work amount was up for discussion. <br />Koertje answered affirmatively. <br />Tofte asked if the Commission thought a marquee should be included in the grant. <br />Lewis stated the marquee should be considered a character defining element. <br />Poppitz asked if the tin was only for the façade or was the entire building going to <br />receive tin. <br />Blanchard answered only the façade. <br /> <br />
