Approval of Minutes: John moved to approve the September 9 minutes; Russ seconded.
Approved 5-0.
Old Business:
Canvas Church — 255 Summit Ridge; expansion of existing church (follow-up on
preliminary approval). Presented updates on the plan, mostly with landscaping. Beige,
red canopy, glass. Board recommended defining the plaza a bit from the parking lot.
Russ moved to approve; John seconded. Approved 5-0.
New Business:
Batteries and Bulbs — 215 W Idaho. Freestanding and wall signs. Discussed electronic
reader board. Could use a landscaping base. Prefer the amber color. Janet moved to
approve subject to using the amber color and restoring the landscape area under the sign;
John seconded. Approved 5-0.
Montana West Economic Development — 44 2nd Ave W; exterior remodel to existing
office. Existing brown — keeping similar. Getting rid of green. Everything will be
painted. They presented possible future plans for the exterior, but only had photos and
color samples for this project. Not quite enough there to make a decision. John moved to
approve subject to a final email review; Russ seconded. Approved 5-0.
Dress Barn/Shell Buildings — 165/175 Treeline; new retail stores. John moved to
approve; Julie seconded. Approved 5-0.
Other Discussion:
Verizon — 25 Treeline; request for modification of previously reviewed plans. Board had
accepted the parking/landscape change to the southwest of the building and the new door
on the east side. Had issues with the request to eliminate the screening wall and the
change in the awnings. Discussed the screening — perhaps could accomplish the same
purpose with a fence matching the wood -coloring on the towers in combination with tall
evergreen landscaping. On the awnings, east/south were OK. North could be OK if the
west elevation is maintained. Discussed it with Karen by conference call; will follow up
on discussions with the Planning Dept.
