NATURE OF PROJECT/APPROVAL SOUGHT: Approval of awning as installed. LOCATION: 73-405 EI Paseo ZONE: C-1 S.P. Mr. Smith explained that this item had been continued from the last meeting. He understood that the approved awning was to be placed on a frame and not attached to the beam. Commissioner McCrea indicated that he had viewed the awning on -site and had no concerns with it as installed. Commissioner Holden asked why the awning was not installed as approved by the architectural commission. Mr. Ernie Brooks explained that the proposed awning/valance was presented by Count von Huellessem and built and installed by him as Instructed by the Count. The Count understood that the approval was for a valance. Chairman Gregory had no objection to the proposal as installed but felt that some type of penalty should be imposed when a building permit is not obtained prior to construction or installation. Commissioner Martin indicated that he would not approve the proposal If it were to be presented as a new request. He felt that this valance would set a precedent for the entire building. Commissioner Holden was concerned that additional canvas signs would be requested throughout the city. Mr. Drell noted that the commission might want to set up a condition for maintenance of canvas signs and awnings. Commissioner Martin recommended that the valance be removed by January I, 1987 and that the applicant resubmit a new proposal. It was moved by Commissioner Cook, seconded by Commissioner Martin to require that the awning/valance be removed by January I, 1987 since the awning was not installed as approved and without a permit. A new proposal may be submitted for approval. Carried 3-2 (Chairman Gregory and Commissioner McCrea opposed). 3 MINUTES ARCHITECTURAL COMMISSION DECEMBER 23, 1986 Mr. Smith noted that this decision may be appealed to city council within 15 days. 2.

LOCATION: 73-155 Highway III ZONE• C-1 S.P. Mr. Smith indicated that in study session the commission suggested that the north facing sign be lowered by approximately two feet and the east sign facing the alley be one line and moved back 18". Commissioner Cook indicated that there may be a notch in the area where the north sign would be moved to. He suggested that the notch be filled and painted the same color as the can. The applicant was concerned that If the east facing sign was moved back the building next door would block the visibility of the sign from Highway 111. Commissioner Cook noted that the scale of the sign was too small to be read from Highway Ill. He asked if the backs of the letters were to be closed. The applicant Indicated that they would be closed back with neon lighting inside. It was moved by Commissioner Holden, seconded by Commissioner McCrea to approve the signs subject to the following conditions. 1. The east facing sign to be moved south 18". 2. The east facing sign to be single line copy. 3.

LOCATION: Plaza De Monterey ZONE: PC (2) Mr. Smith presented plans and pictures of the awning with signage that had been installed without a permit. He explained that the awning is over an east facing window. Staff's concern is with the consistency of wording to be allowed on awnings. AT Signs was present and a representative indicated that they made the awning and advised their client on how to install it. Chairman Gregory felt that a small description of the type of business is fine but he was opposed to listing the services and products provided. Mr. Diaz felt that advertising telling what services they provide should be done elsewhere. He felt the wording "Italian Cuisine" would provide adequate description of the business. Chairman Gregory suggested that the bottom green panel be removed and the wording be changed to describe the business. It was moved by Commissioner Drury, seconded by Commissioner McCrea to approve the awning as installed, subject to removal of the green panel. Applicant may return to commission with a more appropriate submittal for copy on the green panel.

Mr. Smith explained that the proposed awning has been installed without a Permit. Although the applicant did have approval from the architectural commission the awning seems to have not been installed as approved. Commissioner Martin could not recall how they intended the proposed awning to be attached to the building at the time of approval. Commission had questioned whether this was an awning or a cloth sign. Commissioner Drury had no problem with the awning. She felt the approval and plans did not indicate exactly how the awning was to be attached to the building therefore it was not attached incorrectly. It was suggested that the commissioners review the awning as installed on -site. It was moved by Commissioner Drury, seconded by Commissioner McCrea to continue this case. Carried 4-0 3.

Chairman Gregory indicated that the awning would cover the beam of the building and questioned if that would be covering an asset of the architecture. Commissioner Martin noted that he would like the lettering on the awning to match the style of the existing sign. Commissioner Holden indicated that if the awning was lowered to expose the beam then it might be acceptable. 2 AGENDA ITEM NO.
