HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said there originally was a wood frame building at this site, which was later demolished after 1990. Since that time, it has been a vacant lot. The proposal is to build a two-story structure of masonry with the front facade matching up with the facades of the other buildings on Brady Street. The proposed building will take up the majority of its lot line and there is no need for off-street parking as other parking is available. The new building will be a restaurant with a mezannine and roof top, which will have the mechanicals on it.
There will be a recessed entry as well and openable windows. There will be solid brick at the side rear as that is where the kitchen area is. There is some talk of a possible art installation on that area. The building is compatible with existing buildings in the area. The side facing Jimmy John's is a blank wall as it is right up against that structure. Staff recommends approval.
Matt Hensel - architect
Jim Vils - Redmond Company
Ron Stokes - president of the Roaring Fork restaurant group
Ald. Nik Kovac - he supports this project and thinks the architect has been very sensitive to the neighborhood.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown strongly recommended having art on the blank rear area where the kitchen is. Another possibility, per the architect, is to have windows on the second story and opaque windows on the first floor. About half the building utilizes the entire two story volume.
Grant, with the requirement that a COA be obtained from the Commission, for the back area, whether it be art work or windows, prior to getting an occupancy permit. | Pass | 4:0 |
