SECOND by Commissioner Hall.Approved unanimous vote. III. New Business 1. Case Number DR-18-06:A request by Dillon Wickel and Indian Creek Steakhouse for Design Review approval to add an awning to the exterior of the building located at 717 Main Street,the Craft Corner building. The awning will be identical to the existing awning located at 711 Main Street, for Indian Creek Steakhouse. Testimony: Jarom Wagoner,Senior Planner, 621 Cleveland Blvd., Caldwell, ID 83605,presented the staff report and stated that the applicant is requesting design review approval for exterior renovations to add an awning to the building located at 717 Main Street in Caldwell,ID. The awning will match the existing awning located at 711 Main Street. He would like to continue the frontage to the end of the street. This type of facade is not currently allowed but it would match what is currently there. The current facade was approved prior to the Page 1 existence of the Design Review Committee. This request was reviewed by staff and the Engineering Department because the poles on the awning protrude into the right-of-way. The Engineering Department's main concern was making sure they are still ADA compliant. The existing Craft Corner sign does not currently comply with code. Mr.Wickel had intended to use the sign and resurface it. It would need to comply with current code.Staff has a concern with the location of the sign being located above the sidewalk and in the right-of-way and safety issues with pedestrians. Commissioner Dodge confirmed that the Commission will not decide on the sign today as that will be the decision of the director. Mr.Wagoner stated that was correct. Commissioner Weston asked if the current sign extended 4 feet over the sidewalk. Mr.Wagoner replied he was not sure,it does extend but he's not sure how much. Commissioner Dodge stated that because this business is not right in front of the plaza it would be nice to have an Engineer verify if the sign was stable and have it at that location so you can also see it from Kimball. Mr.Wickel, 22753 Upper Pleasant Ridge Road,Wilder, Idaho stated he would like to extend the awning all the way down to the end of the road so the whole steakhouse ties in. Commissioner Hall asked how he felt about the sign. Mr.Wickel stated he would like to keep it and resurface it so people can see it coming down Kimball. Commissioner Hall asked if he would be keeping more in western theme. Mr.Wickel stated yes. Commissioner Weston asked if the materials would be the same. Mr.Wickel stated yes. Commissioner Dodge asked staff if they needed any pedestrian amenities placed there. Mr.Wagoner stated that depending on the length of the frontage they could require amenities.They could make that a condition and the awning would count as one of the amenities. Page 2 Commissioner Hall asked if we would allow the same colors. Mr.Wagoner stated yes. Commissioner Dodge asked Mr.Wickel if he planned on any additional benches out front. Mr.Wickel stated he would if they wanted him to. MOTION TO CLOSE TESTIMONY: Commissioner Weston.SECOND: Commissioner Dodge. Passed: Unanimous vote.
