HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said the planters will be incorporated into the new patio and the barrels will be replaced with concrete square planters. A raised deck will be built, due to damaged, uneven, sloping concrete in the proposed deck area. The new deck will be the height of the entry step and the landing at the handicapped ramp will be cut into to allow access to the deck, which will be 7" high. The new deck will cover up the bulkhead below the windows. No detail was provided on the handrail. The proposed deck material is a combination of wood and plastic. Staff recommends approval of the design, but require decay-resistant natural material.
Colleen Thompson - designer - the material was chosen as it is partially organic; it is plastic so it will not change color over time and will blend with the existing building color. She feels the material is very durable and easily cleaned. This material costs double what wood would cost.
Nongluk Buranabunyut - owner of the restaurant. The handicap ramp isn't real wood and she sees this product as being better.
Trex may or may not have been approved for the ramp; one COA said Trex and a later COA didn't even mention the material to be used, said Ms. Hatala.
Approve the design, but not the material, with staff conditions listed in the report.
