Communications: Kitty Cupp, Main Street, regarding overhead street banner, discussion postponed to Commission Discussion portion of Agenda. Public Comments: Scott Wilson, representing the City Parks Commission, brought a drawing of the plans for work being proposed for Pope Marine Park. Most of the work will be to replace playground equipment that was unsafe and additional landscape screening on the Water Street side. No major structure was being considered; there- fore, the project (and carved log) did not come before the HPC. Raab expressed concern over "art work" that would change the tone of the park as he felt the carved log did and Yawman wondered about the safety factor of the carved log. Scott offered to furnish Sepler any upcoming changes including bike racks aound town which is in the planning stages. Plans will go to Sepler who will copy for HPC members.

Building was considered incongruous by Trust and addition has been designed by the Guidelines. It does not increase non··conformj t.y; proportion and scale of addition is more compatible as is massing; colors are consistent with brick details;and serves as a transition element. Sepler recommended approval. Public Testimony: Applicant Mark Saugen showed changes from based on suggestions from earlier meetings with HPC committee. Committee Report - Landis. None; agreed with staff report. Marseille com- plimented the brackets, scale, design and response to suggestions. Discussion on plans for later work on entire building.

Staff Report, Sepler thanked the HPC for the special meeting and putting this item on the Agenda in order to meet funding deadlines facing the project. Plans for the demo- lition of the current piershed, relocating the Pope Marine Building approximately ... HPC Meeting, ~~rch 31, 1992 - Page 2 50 feet landward of the present location \.¡ith a ne\.¡ boardwalk proposed for the northeasterly side of the building were presented by Sepler asking for approval of the Commission. He further explained that because time was critical that all finer details such as color, railings,etc.,would pass before the Commission at the . time of Design Permit Application. The approval of the basic plan would allow the rest of the process to continue. Smith shared the historical fact that the building was not original to the site. Discussion included concern over width of portion of dock'reduced from 40 feet to 32 feet though the length is remaining the same. Public Comments: Dave Peterson explained that it is less expensive to move the building permanently onto new foundation/pilings than to move it, build new foundation, and return to site; .pilings will bewoodew~instead of concrete for budget reasons. Meeting was recessed to view site. Sepler stated that there will be a transition area where parking is and because of the upcoming Site Plan Review for the Jackson Bequest as well as plans for Pope Marine Park, this is an opportunity to coordinate these' three adjacent sites. Smith asked that there be two bids - one for 32 foot width pier and one for 40 foot, since the present width has been historically used and important to the use of the pier and Pope Marine Building. Other public testimony was given by Bernie Arthur who stated that in his opinion the Park is underutilized and needs more screening, possibly a brick wall at eye level with portals,so that users CQuld "leave the City" during use of the Park. Commission discussion resulted in motion by Landis to accept Findings of HPC as prepared by Staff, seconded by Raab. Vote unanimous in favor. The Archway request in the Communications from ~1ain Street was discussed. The location is on Taylor Street about 15 feet toward Washington Street from Water Street, (Raab noted that the original metal fasteners used for the original project in 1892 were found on the buildings), and will be up approximately three weeks for the Marine Bicentennial through Rhody Festival. The project is being built through volunteer efforts from painted boxed plywood and covered with greenery. The original one was to . celebrate the 1792-1892 Centennial. Staff will inform Main Street that the project will be referred to Consent Agenda because it is a temporary structure. Marseille asked that the history and explanation of the Archway be available near the site (such as the bulletin board on the McCurdy Building) for the information and additional appreciation of the public. Commission Discussion: Barbara Marseille and Chris Carson are the Color Committee and Ann Landis will help with printing for the boards of color swatches. Meeting adjournment motion by Landis, second by Smith, unanimous. * Wood pilings refers to dock. Respectfully submitted, &v~ ðo~f Barbara Bogart, Secretary .
