Acting Planning Manager Perez presented the staff report and reiterated the purpose of the
meeting was to allow the ARC to finish their comments about the proposed desig n, receive
public comment, and provide design direction to the applicant.
The Committee came to the conclusion that the design should move towards a Western theme,
using a combination of stone and siding for the cladding material. The Committee advised the
applicant to consider incorporating details from the I.O.O.F. Hall into the project, including the
storefront, recessed windows, articulation of the roofline, and materials with texture.
Chair Hoag opened public comment.
Eric Von Berg donated his three minutes to Jennifer Martin.
Jennifer Martin, representing the applicant, summarized the most recent revisions to the project
including the use of stone and horizontal siding.
Shirley Gibson, spoke in opposition to the project design, stating that it was inconsistent with the
Village Design Guidelines.
Acting Planning Manager Perez read an email in support of the project from John and Camilla
Karamanlis.
The Committee appreciated the stone material presented by Ms. Martin during public comment,
but found the application of the stone and bamboo siding resulted in a modern aesthetic. The
Committee requested that the proposed materials shall be made available for viewing at City
Hall prior to the next meeting this project is considered.
