Recommendation item.
Chuck Phillips, Graphic Arts, Cobblestone Center. He stated the plans have been submitted to the
Planning Department.
Commissioner Henninger indl;,ated that staff feels the plans are not in full conformance and the detail is
inadequate, therefore, a continuance is recommended so staff could work with the applicant on the
submittal package. He asked if a 30~Jay continuance would be acceptable.
Chuck Phillips explained that the project was due to begin on December 18. He stated relative to the
signs there is a portion where they want the two monument signs established so it can be viewed by
people who are approaching the property, as an advertisement to the mall. Those would be the only
two monument signs they are presently concerned with.
Commissioner Henninger asked ft the monument signs are acceptable?
Jonathan Borrego, Senior Planner. He stated the concern staff had was relative to the number of wall
signs being proposed. He stated within the scenic corridor the code allows one wall sign per business
to be mounted on the main entry. Thore was some confusion with the case planer who noted that the
elevation plans appeared to show more signs, and he stated for that reason they would Ilke the plans
revised and he asked that Mr. Phfllips contact the case planner for darificatlon to staff that it would get

the two historical homes He stated it is of particular iM rest to be able to see thekhistiorical hiomes ftom
some of the streets In the area.
Commissioner Messe asked ff the wall would block the house because the house Is a tall structure.
Mr. Hobson agreed the house is a tail structure, but the area (Uncdn Avenue) is depressed so they will be
adding a 6-7 foot block wall on top of an existing significant bank.
Commissioner Bostwick asked ff he feels the reskferrts who will be purchasing the structure would want
some type of ence. Mr. Hobson stated they are proposing wrought iron with landscaping in the back yards

and he explained that the tis~efoper/buyer for the kxritage prefers wrought iron, that they do not want a
block wall on their property.
Commissioner Bostwick asked for Mr. Hobson's opinion relative to the train tracks. Mr. Hobson stated the
train tracks already have a sound wall, along Village lane.
Further discussion fdlowed between Commissioner Bostwick and Mr. Hobson relative to the Uncdn ftorttage
being an eye-sore. Mr. Hobson stated hopefully the houses will be something good to look at and he
reiterated the owner does not want a block wall; they want people to be able to see their home ftom Uncoln
Avenue.
Ca~mmissioner Messe asked what is the obJection to some of the sound proofing? Mr. Hobson responded
they::~snt to stick as closely as possible to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservation,
which is the overriding criteria.
Commissioner Messe asked about the type of glass and windows to be used on the historic homes?
Mr. Hobson responded they are intending to use, wherever it is still usable, the existing double hung frame
windows, with glass in the windows. He stated the cottage's Interior walls are being replaced because
plaster is bad and they will be installing i.~aulation and drywall.
Commissioner Messe. He stated he feels for the people who will be living Inskle the homes because of the
noise levels indicated in the staff report.
Mr. Hobson. He stated their intent is to replace the windows that need to be replaced with standard glass,
and the ones that do not need to be replaced they will retain the window and glass.
Chairwoman Mayer asked ff the houses are on blocks? Mr. Hobson responded 'yes'.
Chairwoman Mayer noted that as we see the houses now, they are consklersbly taller.
Commissioner Brlstd asked ff presently th~,fe are any interested buyers? Mr. Hobson stated that the
Cottage house, the buyers are the developers and they have their construction financing in place; but that
the Grimshaw house does not have a buyer in escrow. They are working to get construction aril permanent
fins~icing for restoration of the Grimshaw house.
Further discussion took place between the Commission and Mr. Hobson relative to the type of replacement
for the existing broken windows aril relative to the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Preservations
for historical homes.
Commissioner Henninger indicated that the noise consultant's recommendation on the structural
improvements probably assumed that there would be a wall in place, therefore, with no wall being in place
he would 11ke to know the affects of the consultant's recommendation.
Commissioner Bostwick suggested that the owner/developer of the Cottage home be asked to put a block
wall along a portion of the property (ftom the closest end of the railroad tracks, comer of the house),
thereby allowing the house to be seen, but at the same lima lessening the noise made by the railroad and
automobiles.
