6 home, the proposed design and materials meet the spirit of this requirement and are compatible with the existing home and other homes in the neighborhood and recommends approval as submitted. Mr. Doerner presented proposed a color rendering and elevations of the 17 X 30, 2-story addition, explaining that it is constructed of stone and flatboard, which will align with the existing siding. Samples of the white Hardie Plank siding and red brick were presented. Mr. Doerner stated that all of the brick will be painted a light tan color. A sample of the asphalt shingle roof was also presented. Joanne Boulton asked if the house currently has an asphalt shingle roof. Mr. Doerner replied “yes”. Joanne Boulton commented that more siding is appropriate given the existing house design. Hearing no further questions or comments from the Board members and hearing none from the audience, Scott Wilson made a motion to approve as submitted. The motion was seconded by William Lieberman and unanimously approved by the Board. ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW – OUTDOOR DINING PLATFORM – 16 SOUTH BEMISTON AVENUE – LOUIE’S WINE DIVE
Ben VinZant, restaurant owner, was in attendance at the meeting. Louis Clayton explained that the applicant proposes to install an 11-foot X 25-foot outdoor dining platform constructed of cedar. Bench seating will be installed along the inside perimeter of the platform. Butcher block tables and black metal chairs are proposed. The structure is 3.5-feet tall and the outside face is clad with cedar siding. A 4-foot clear pedestrian access route is proposed on the public sidewalk.
The roof of the addition will be clad in grey fiberglass shingles to match existing and standing seam metal. White double-hung windows are proposed to match existing. The existing home has stone on the first floor front elevation, brick on the first floor side elevations, and white siding on the second floor. The primary building materials for the home addition are brick painted “sandstone” and white Hardie Plank lap siding. The addition will incorporate similar design and materials found on the existing home. The amount of Hardie Plank lap siding will cover 56 percent of the rear elevation, 42 percent of the west elevation, and 44 percent of the east elevation. The Architectural Review Guidelines limit the use of accent materials to 25 percent of each elevation and gives the Architectural Review Board authority to grant a modification to exceed 25 percent siding, up to a maximum of 30 percent. The existing driveway will remain in place. No new retaining walls or permanent fences are proposed. HVAC units will be located on the west side of the addition and screened by an existing wood privacy fence. A +/- 40-square-foot trash enclosure is located on the west side of the home and will be screened by a wood fence and gate. Louis stated that the project as proposed is in conformance with the requirements of the R-2 Single Family Dwelling District.

The structure is 3.5-feet tall and the outside face is clad with cedar siding. A 4-foot clear pedestrian access route is proposed on the public sidewalk. The City’s Outdoor Dining Regulations do not specifically address the use of outdoor dining platforms in the City right-of-way; however, pedestrian barriers are permitted as long as they are least 30 inches tall, constructed of metal or wood, and not anchored to the sidewalk. Staff has determined that the proposal may be permitted if it receives approval by the Department of Public Works and the Architectural Review Board. Staff is of the opinion that the outdoor dining platform, tables and chairs are in conformance with the Outdoor Dining Regulations. Restaurants with freestanding patio chairs often overflow into the pedestrian access route. With the proposed design, this would not occur because all seating is confined to the footprint of the platform. All of the structure’s components can be removed and reassembled. The Public Works Department has reviewed the proposal and will allow the installation on a trial basis through February 28, 2017, at which time it will be reevaluated; therefore, staff’s recommendation is to approve with the following conditions:
