ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – PUBLIC ART – 212 SOUTH MERAMEC AVENUE
Kyle Wilson, architect, and Mitch Horstmann, artist, were in attendance at the meeting.
Susan Istenes explained that a Planned Unit Development was approved in 2014 for this mixed-use project which is currently under construction. A public art feature was approved as part of the public benefits package for the Planned Unit Development. The applicant has commissioned sculptor Mitch Horstmann to create bicycle rack sculptures to be located along both South Meramec and Bonhomme Avenues. Four bicycle racks are proposed at the residential building entrance and ten bicycle racks are proposed along the streets in the right-of-way. The proposed bicycle racks are constructed of powder coated steel and trak pipe with marine grade nylon cover. The color scheme proposed is autumn leaves and the racks will vary in color including yellows, oranges and reds. The sculptures will measure 3.5-feet in height by 1-foot in width and will be mounted to the pavement at grade. The exact locations of the bicycle racks proposed in the public right-of-way have not yet been determined. The plans show the bicycle racks located in the furniture zone of the right-of-way. This general location has been approved by the Public Works Department; however, exact positions will need to be verified prior to installation. Protocol for the approval of public art is for the Public Art Advisory Committee (PAAC) to review and make recommendations to the Architectural Review Board regarding specific art pieces; the Architectural Review Board has the final decision. The PAAC has reviewed the proposal and recommends approval. Director Istenes noted that staff is of the opinion that the locations and design of the proposed bicycle racks will complement the building’s elevations and that the proposal meets the requirements of the public benefits package and recommends approval with the following conditions:

2 Susan Istenes explained that the existing two-story home measures 3,781-square-feet and the proposed project consists of the construction of a 500-square-foot two-story addition to the rear of the existing home. The existing home has a primary building material of red brick with an accent material of white lap siding found under the gable roof ends. The home features white, double- hung casement windows and asphalt roof shingles. The proposed addition will incorporate the same design and materials to match the existing home. The primary building material for the proposed two story rear addition is red brick with white lap siding under the gable roof end. The use of lap siding will not exceed 13.5 percent of the rear elevation. The Architectural Review Guidelines state that secondary materials should be limited to no more than 25 percent of any elevation. Siding is found as a secondary building material on additions throughout the Davis Place neighborhood. Because the use of the secondary material will not exceed the maximum 25 percent and will match the existing house, staff is of the opinion that the proposed lap siding is compatible with the neighborhood character. Director Istenes added that a small covered porch with a shed roof is proposed along the northeast elevation of the addition which does not encroach into any setbacks, and that a new concrete patio is proposed at the northwest corner of the house to replace an existing brick paver patio (which will include a rough-in for a future barbeque).The proposed addition is located within the footprint of the existing patio and will not increase imperious coverage on site. In the R-2 zoning district, maximum total lot impervious coverage is 55 percent. The proposed project is below the maximum allowed impervious coverage. An existing tree is located just north of the proposed addition. The applicant has stated a desire to save the tree and will perform root pruning as a preservation measure. The mechanical equipment is currently located along the west elevation of the existing house and will remain as is with evergreen vegetation providing screening. The existing trash enclosure is located north of the driveway and will remain with screening provided by a wood fence. Director Istenes noted that the project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District and the Architectural Review Guidelines. The proposed project has received Davis Place Trustee approval. Staff is of the opinion that the design and materials of the addition are compatible with the home and with the neighborhood character and recommends approval as requested.
Mr. Davenport indicated that he had nothing more to add.
Chairman Lichtenfeld commented that the addition fits in well with the existing structure and that he hopes the tree can be saved.
Mr. Davenport stated that he hoped so as well. He noted that it is a slab on grade addition and that the tree roots will be pruned before excavation. He noted that this is one of two large Oak trees they want to preserve.
