Minutes of August 22 meeting accepted as presented
Hilton Garden Inn did not submit any new information.
Office Solutions (700 Sunset Blvd) has revised their earlier submittal, and Architects
Northwest presented the project. They have removed the loading dock and are not
expanding into the dance studio area. They will use hardiplank and CMU on the exterior
(grey) and will add windows. Landscaping will be included along the back of the building,
and the sidewalk will be installed along the west side. There will be 2 new exit lights on
the west side. Ken recused himself. Mark moved to approve, John seconded. Approved
6-0.
New Business:
Valley Bank is proposing several new sign faces, which include wall signs,
incidental/directional signs, and 2 freestanding signs. The freestanding signs are subject to
review. They may choose to revise the plans and bring them back, depending upon some
other factors. Ken moved to approve; Corey seconded. Approved 7-0.
Montana Furniture (2240 Hwy 93 S) was presented by Steve Buenz. They are
proposing a new furniture store. The exterior is split face CMU and EIFS. Colors,
materials, and landscaping all look good, and it was noted that the cedar over the windows
looked good as well. Discussion centered on the entrance/canopy/truss features, with a
preference for bringing more emphasis to the building entrance. Carol moved to provide a
limited approval for the project, with revisions to those features to be submitted prior to
construction beyond the foundation. Mark seconded. Motion passed 7-0.
Fontecilla (201 3rd Ave W) is planning to substantially remodel an existing building, and
move their EIFS business to that location. Hank presented the project. They will use
limestone crown moldings, etc, along with EIFS exterior. There will not be any exterior
lights. Ken recused himself. John moved to approve, Bill seconded. Approved 6-0.
Other Discussion:
Huhot will have a neon accent on the chopsticks by their entrance. The neon was
included on the plans they submitted, but was not specifically discussed at the ARC
meeting.
Hilton Garden Inn is still hoping to have the "Silver Creek" casino sign, and the issue is
being addressed at the City Manager/City Attorney level.
