Spill the Beans — 638 W Center — convert car lot to a coffee shop. Color change, but no
other exterior work. Possibly some additional landscaping. Sign change will come later.
Bill moved to approve; Russ seconded. Approved 5-0.
Western States Insurance — 33 Village Loop — new office building. Signs will come
later. Lights will be in the soffit. Gary showed landscaping plan and color elevation
(color match not a great rendering). Will have a stone base and planters (including
evergreens) around the base of the building. Earth tones, "driftwood" shingles,
Anderson's cultured stone, hardiplank, and pre -finished metal trim. Two plumbing vents.
Some venting through the soffit. Ridge vent is not shown. Roof concerns — went with
hip rather than gable. 18" eaves due to setbacks. Dormers would help (could be
advantageous for venting. Other suggestions: fir out stone on corners; more overhang
with braces at the entry; eliminate inside corner stone; and add stone between windows at
dormers. They will incorporate the changes and bring it back at the next meeting. Janet
moved to table; Mark seconded. Motion to table passed 5-0.
Other Discussion:
Potential Awards Program — Should have 3 categories: new; remodel; and signs. Some
question about how far back to go — probably 2 years. Nomination form? Staff will put
one together along with criteria. Bill will work on a certificate.
