Approval of Minutes: March 16, 2017 Commissioner Ed Klock moved to approve the minutes as presented. Commissioner Steve Johnson seconded. Motion approved unanimously. 2. Additions or Modifications to the Agenda. None. 3. Open Forum None. 4. Design Review A. 613 N. Main Street: In February 2017 Regier Construction, Inc. purchased 613 N. Main Street (formerly Alexander’s Jewelry Store). The building was built ca. 1883 and is most famous for being a long-term variety store called “Hogan’s” prior to becoming the jewelry stores. At the March HPC meeting Regier presented a plan to restore the interior of the building to the original finishes, including wood floors, trim, window glass, sills, ledges, and original tin ceilings. That work is currently under way. At the April 20th meeting Regier presented a new proposal for restoring/rehabilitation the exterior of the building and the historic blade sign for the new tenant, Norm’s Coffee. The exterior renovations include: Removing the non-historic street level façade that was installed in the 1970’s Constructing a new two foot high brick bulk head at the public sidewalk level topped with dark anodized aluminum storefront framing and insulated glazing. The brick bulk head and glazing will recess at the center of the façade, approximately 7’ by 7’ to allow for a low sloped ramp and handicapped accessible glass/aluminum door with sidelights. The existing aluminum canopy will be retained, but the exposed fascia of the canopy will be covered with pre-finished metal to complement the color scheme of the new façade. The transom opening above the canopy will be in-filled with aluminum storefront, matching the new storefront below the canopy. Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Agenda Item #1 July 17, 2017 The new construction will be modern materials, but installed in keeping with the proportions of the remaining original façade elements, as well as the neighboring historic buildings. The blade sign will be renovated to a look similar to the 1930’s façade remodel, when the building was first “Hogan’s”. The large metal diamond shape at the top will be removed, the non-operable neon lighting removed, and new painted non- lighted name panels installed. An “N” will be added to the east side of the sign for “Norms”. Commissioner John Torline moved to approve the proposal as presented. Commissioner David Haury seconded. Motion approved unanimously. 5. New Business None. 6. Old Business None. 7. Staff Report A. Kelly Bergeron updated the Commission on several projects including the status of the Historic Driving Tour interactive website project, paid for by a Heritage Trust Fund grant awarded to the Commission in 2016. Staff will begin providing a quarterly report electronically with the status of projects and administratively approved projects. The quarterly report will include photos. B. Bergeron reported on the outcomes of the benchmarking and research regarding LED/Digital signage in downtown historic districts. The SHPO noted their advice is to consider the projects under the current guidelines for size, location, massing, etc. and maintain the discretion of the HPC to decide what is right for the community and the district. In checking with other CLG’s in Kansas no others currently report specific guidelines for LED/digital signage in downtown historic districts. C. Meeting Start Time: the HPC voted to begin meeting at 6:00 p.m. instead of 7:00 p.m. in response to applicants’ requests about the need for earlier hearing times. 8. Adjourn The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. The next meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission is scheduled for Thursday, May 18, 2017. Minutes Pending Approval: 7/17/17 Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Agenda Item #4.A July 17, 2017 Design Review for Exterior Siding Replacement and Repair at 310 E. 4th Street – Contributor to Newton McKinley Residential Historic District. District Nomination: Architectural Description: The house at 310 E. 4th Street is a two-story Italianate dwelling that faces south. The cubic mass of the house is capped with a pyramidal hipped composite roof. The wide overhanging eaves extend above an unornamented fascia board. The full-width porch with a hipped roof supported by tapered square columns cover the offset entrance and a large multi- paned window on the first story. The second story has three evenly-spaced windows with simple wood frames and four-over-four double-hung wood sashes that appear to be original. A small one-story addition and porch are added to the rear of the house. History: 310 E. 4th Street dates to ca. 1885, although the house was excluded on Sanborn Maps until 1915. It does not appear in an 1882 plat map. W.M. Stevens, a Santa Fe engineer, and his wife Dora moved to this address between 1902 and 1905, according to City Directories. Integrity: This is a Contributing property to the McKinley Residential Historic District. Project Description: The property owner, Mr. Matthew McKitrick, wishes to replace rotted cedar siding on three sides of the house (east, south, and west). The siding on the north (back) of the house appears to be in the best condition and can be repaired. The homeowner requests the use of LP® SmartSide® 7/16" x 6" x 16' Smooth Fiber Lap Siding. The siding will be installed so as to have the same 4” reveal as the current siding. Following installation all will be painted to match. The homeowner reports the current windows, sills, sashes, doors, frames, etc, are all in good condition and will be repainted as needed as part of the project. None are planned for replacement at this time. Standards & Guidelines: Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation & Guidelines – Building Exteriors; Wood – sections appropriate to this project excreted below: Repair: o Repairing wood features by patching, piecing-in, consolidating, or otherwise reinforcing the wood using recognized preservation methods. o Limited replacement-in-kind of deteriorated wood clapboards. o Repair may also include the limited replacement in kind--or with compatible substitute material--of those extensively deteriorated or missing parts of features where there are surviving prototypes such as brackets, molding, or sections of siding. Replace: o Replacing rotted wood column base with new wood. o Replacing in-kind an entire wood feature that is too deteriorated to repair--if the overall form and detailing are still evident--using the physical evidence as a model to reproduce the feature. Examples of wood features include a cornice, entablature or balustrade. o If using the same kind of material is not technically or economically feasible, then a compatible substitute material may be considered. McKinley Historic Residential District Homeowner Preservation Handbook: Siding/Exterior Trim – Page 39 Recommendations: Overall: If you are fortunate to have your original siding and historic trim, maintain it. See “Painting” for advice on properly removing paint, priming and repainting it. Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Agenda Item #4.A July 17, 2017 Generally, non-original siding was applied over existing clapboard or shingles and original trim was retained. Unfortunately, in some cases, historic siding and/or trim was removed prior to the installation of non-original siding. If you have non-original siding and choose to remove it, proceed with caution to ensure the historic material remains beneath it. See the links below for guidance on removing non-original siding. Deteriorated Features: Historic wood siding and trim was milled from old-growth wood and is often a better-quality material than can be obtained today. Historic siding also provides a shadow line that can be difficult to replicate. Wherever possible, historic siding and trim should be maintained and repaired, versus replaced. Rotted or gouged wood can be filled using an epoxy consolidant and putty filler. Only those pieces that are deteriorated beyond repair should be replaced, with wood to match the original features in visual qualities and material. Composition siding products, such as fiber cement siding, may be appropriate on new buildings, such as new garages, etc., but are not appropriate for historic buildings. Vinyl and aluminum siding are inappropriate for both existing and new buildings in the district. Staff Comments: In the past the Newton/North Newton HPC has approved the use of composite siding products, including fiber/cement combinations. This is the first request, to staff’s knowledge, that has requested the use of fiber siding. In researching the product with other HPC’s around the nation it appears that many of them have approved the use of fiber siding, including the LP brand predominantly, as an acceptable composite material in place of traditional historic siding.

  • 2015-16 Adopted Budget
    Redwoods Community College District 2015-16 Final Budget and Multiyear Summary The 2015-16 Final Budget is being presented to the Board of Trustees for approval at the September 8, 2015 meeting. The Final Budget will be reported to the State Chancellor’s Office by October 10 or the date in accordance with State Chancellor’s Office instructions. This document includes a three year forecast for the District and the State. To address fiscal stability at Redwoods Community College District and adhere to Accreditation Standard III, Resources, Eligibility Requirements 17, Financial Resources, and 18 Fiscal Accountability, the District made necessary adjustments to the 2015-16 Final Budget. To prepare the 2015-16 budget, the Budget Planning Committee (BPC) recommended a balanced budget to the President/Superintendent and recommended setting aside a portion of the one-time State mandate reimbursements for a State capital match and for pension costs. This budget includes $700,000 for the State capital project match and at least $300,000 for the CalPERS/STRS pension set aside from the one-time monies. State Forecast The California Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) prepared State budget scenarios. Under the first scenario, California’s economy will continue to grow which fuels State budget surpluses ranging from $2.5 billion to over $4.5 billion during fiscal years 2015-16 through 2019-20. This scenario also assumes that the current service level is maintained, meaning that all current commitments continue, so the surpluses could presumably be used to build rainy day funds or augment agency expenditure budgets. The LAO also prepared a Slowdown scenario assuming a national stock market decline.
