00-568Council File # G� �o �, URIGINAL Presented By Refened To RESOLUTION CITY (3� PAUL M // `�i/, Green Sheet # � p�� y ,S !3 Committee: Date 1 WHEREAS, the SigiArt Co., Inc. on behalf of Dauid Wildmo, made appfication to the 2 Heritage Preservation Commission [hereinafter, Commission] pursuant to the provisions of 3 Saint Paul Legisiative Code Chapter 73 for a sign permit for the installation of two signs 4 composed of five inch deep white aluminum channel letters with white acrylic faces mounted to 5 10"- deep aluminum raceways. The white acrylic letters would be internally illuminated by 6 white neon light. The signs would advertise the new Glockenspiel bar and restaurant located in 7 the C.S.P.S. Hall building at 605 West Seventh Street and legally described as set forth in the 8 application on file in Commission File No. 3912. The C.S.P.S. Hall is listed on the National 9 Register ofHistoric Places; and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 WHEREAS, the Commission duly conducted a public hearing on January 24, 200Q after having provided notice to the affected parties. However, Mr. Wildomo was not present and the Commission elected to lay the matter over so Mr. Wildmo could appear and answer questions before the Commissior, rendered a decision; and F�'HEREAS, on February 24, 2000, a public heariti,g which Mr.Wildmo was able to attend was convened and, at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission moved to approve the applicanYs rzquest to install the aluminium signage but denied the applicanYs request to internally illuminaze the signage as reflected in the Commission's Resolution No. 3912, approved March 9. 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference and which contained the following findings of fact se*!ing forth the Com�nission's reasons far denying the application to intemally illuminate the sign letters: The proposed signs are incompatible with the building's historic character for the following reasons: A. The signs would be internally illuminated. B. The proposed location of the two signs-between the first story cornice and the second story sill course-is cramped and not the historically appropriate location for storefront signage. C. The signs would project 15-inches from the building surface to which they would be attached. Secondary reasons are 1) the lettering style contributes to the excessively modern appearance of the signs and 2) the location of four signs near one spot at the corner of this building would cause a jumbled appearance of signage (the four signs would be the two proposed signs, the recentiy installed metal Glockenspiel sign, and the neon CSPS Hall sign). �� • - 2 2. The proposed signs are contrary to the federal Secretary of the Interior's standazds and 3 guidelines for rehabilitation: they are incompatible with azchitectural features to protect 4 historic integrity; they aze not as sunple as possible; they do not fit flush with the existing 5 features of the facade, and they are intemally ilhuiiinated. 7 3. The owner of the establishment has recently installed, with HPC approval, a wrought iron 8 sign projecting from the corner pier and may, in the fixture, install signage on an awning 9 valence. This signage is compatible with the building's historic character. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 4. Some other signage options that would be compatible with the building's historic character include: Q � Externally illuminated signs on, or attached to, the first story comice; such signs could be painted or composed of individual, non-plastic, lettering. Signs painted on the storefront windows. Extemally illuminated signage attached to the eastern wall of the building. In addition, neon signs located on the inside of storefront windows do not require a sign permit or HPC approval and would have a less adverse impact on the building's historic chazacter than the proposed internally illuminated signs. 22 23 5. The building's preservation program states that the neon "C. S. P. S. Hall" sign located at 24 the comer of the building should be preserved. The existence of this neon sign, which 25 probably dates from the 1940s, does not justify adding contemporary intemally 26 illuminated signs to the building. 27 28 �'HEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code § 73.06, David 29 Wil�no, on March 14, 2000, duly filed an appeal of the Commissions determination and 30 requested that a hearing be held before the Saint Paul City Council for the purposes of 31 considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and 32 33 WHEREAS, acting pursuant to § 73.06 and upon notice to affected parties a public 34 hearing was duly conducted by the Saint Paul City Council on April 5, 200Q where all interested 35 parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and 36 37 'WHEREAS, the Council, having heard the statements made and having considered the 38 application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Commission DOFS 39 HEREBY; 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 RESOLVE, to reverse the decision ofthe Heritage Preservation Commission in this matter based on the following findings of the Council: Intemally illuminated signage, as opposed to externally illuxninated signage, will not fundamentally alter the historic character of the C.S.P.S. building. 1 cx�-�� 2 AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of David Wildmo be and is 3 hereby granted; and 4 5 AND, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Council Secretary shall mail a copy of 6 this resolution to David Wildmo, the Zoning Administrator and the Heritage Preservation 7 Commission.

Seventh St. HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION ACTION: Denial. SUPPORT None. OPPOSITION None. Dear Ms. Anderson: Mr. David Wildmo, the owner of the Glockenspiel baz and restaurant at 605 W. Seventh St., has appealed the decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission to deny approval of a sign permit for rivo internally illuminated signs. The Glockenspiel recently opened in the C.S.P.S. Hall building which is an individually designated heritage preservation site. The HPC conducted two public hearings concerning the proposed signs. Mr. Wildmo forgot to attend the first hearing on January 24, 2000 and the matter was laid over due to unanswered questions. The second public heazing was heid on February 24, 2000. There was no public testimony at the heazings aside from Mr. Wildmo and a sign company representative. At the close of the February heazing, the commission voted 7- 0 to approve an iron sign and 6- i to deny approval of the two proposed intemally illuminated signs. A resolution formalizing the denial was approved on a 7- 0 vote at the Mazch 9, 2000 HPC Committee of the Whole meeting. The commission's finding for denial are stated in the resolution, which is attached. Mr. Wildmo states his grounds for appeal in his Mazch 14, 20001etter which is also attached. This appeal is scheduled to be heazd by the City Council on April 5, 2000. I have attached all pertinent information. Slides of the site will be available at the Council meeting if Councilmembers wish to view them.

Younkin and Errigo moved and seconded approval of the iron sign; passed 7- 0. Buetow: The placement and the projection of the proposed intemally illuminated signs is a problem. I don't have a problem with neon, given the existing CSPS sign. Benton: Previous establishments in the building had signs painted on the storefront windows.

Hali buiiding at 605 W. 7'" St (aka 381 Michigan St.). The building is an individually designated heritage preservation site (local) and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The C.S.P.S. Hall was built in 1887. In 1917 tfie building was remodeled ea�tensively and a third story was added to the front part of ttte building. Tfie building's significance is tustoric rather than azchitectural (see attached history and significance statement). The applicant, and restaurant owner David Wildmo, propose installing two signs near the corner of the building, facing south and east. The signs would have individual, internally illuminated letters. Some details: i � The signs are 1' lugh by 9.5' long by 10" to 13" deep. They would be located beriveen the first story comice and the second siory window sills. L,ettering would be supported by an aluminum raceway, or continuous bo�c, painted the color of the painted brick. The signs would be mounted to the building using anchors in the mortar joints between bricks. Letters would have aluminum cabinets and acrylic or polycarbonate faces. The letters would be entirely wlute and the neon lighting within the letters would be white. The restaurant owner also plans to install a wrought iron sign and decorative light fixture mounted to the first story comer post at the restaurant entrance. He may also, in the future, replace the existing awning with a new one with the Glockenspiel name on the valence (the small band that hangs down at the bottom of an awning). The preservation program for the C.S.P.S. Hall dces not specificaliy mention new signage. It dces say that "The appearance of the exterior, particulazly the upper two stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance." The HPC uses the federal Secretary of the Interior's rehabilitation standards and guidelines for individually designated sites since the preservation programs for the individual sites do not contain detailed guidelines. Relevant portions of the federal standazds and guidelines are attached. The federal guidelines recommend not using new illuminated signs. � 16 I � 4 � � , Z '\ .DEC-2� 1?'?6 0:=:�3 �=1Ti CF =T FHII LIEF t;-� E Y ur 5 i t'HUL HU0.0tNG INSFcG7104 AKC GE:IG1 OFFtf.

HALL Preservation ProQram � � Although G.S.P.S. Hall is architecturally "undistinguished," the character of its 1887/1917 appearance is a visual symool of its historic i.mportance. The appearance of the exterior, particularly the upper two stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance. The emblem below the garaget on the Michigan Street facade and the corner sign should both be preserved. The Commission offers preliminary consultation with its Advisory Design Conmmittee £or any exterior remodeling or new signage on the first story. Redevelopment of the first floor should, if possible, support the buildings image as a symbol of Czech community history. The Commission strongly encourages continued use of the building by the . Czech community, so that a vital "living" link with local cultural history can be maintained. L�� ' C.S.P.S. HALL , 381-383 Michigan Street HIS70RY AND SIGNIFICANCE The C.S.P.S. Hall, an unpretentious three story brick building on the corner of Michigan and Western, was built in 1887 for the Czech Lodge of the C.S.P.S. (Czecho Slovak Protective Society). The building was extensively remodeled in 1917. (The third StOry ddditi0n was built on the front third of the building, the hall entrance was moved from the west side to the center of the hiichigan Street side, and the emblem "1887-C.S.P.S. - 1917" was placed below the parapet on the Michigan Street facade.) Yet its character remains virtually unchanged from the time it was built. It has been owned continuously by the Czech Lodge since 1887, and the uses of the building remain the same as they were origin.ally. The upstairs halT serves as a cuiturai center, used for meetings, social and cultural events, and gymnastics. The first floor is devoted to cortrtnercial use and has housed a variety of small businesses over the years. The C.S.P.S. Hall is an undistinguished exampie of a 19th century commercial building and does not have any particular architectural merit. Placed on the Nationa] Register of Historic Places in 7977, it is, however, a recognized . historic site. Its significance is due to its association with late 19th Century Czech irtenigration and the Czech ethnic and cultural contribution to the development of thecommunity. Some additional historic significance is derived from Antonin Dvorak's visit to the hall in 1893, o-rhen an informal reception was held there in his honor. A few years ago the future of the C.S.P.S. Hati seemed to be in doubt. Now, however, the efforts of inembers of the Czech Lodge, the St. Paul Sokol Gymnastic Society, and others to preserve this symbol of the community's cultural heri- tage are beginning to show positive results. In the near future, the first floor will be remodeled to accomodate a new Czech restaurant. A plan for repairing and preserving the building has been worked out and funding is now being sought.

The white acrylic letters would be internally illuminated by 6 white neon light. The signs would advertise the new Glockenspiel bar and restaurant located in 7 the C.S.P.S. Hall building at 605 West Seventh Street and legally described as set forth in the 8 application on file in Commission File No. 3912. The C.S.P.S.

However, Mr. Wildomo was not present and the Commission elected to lay the matter over so Mr. Wildmo could appear and answer questions before the Commissior, rendered a decision; and F�'HEREAS, on February 24, 2000, a public heariti,g which Mr.Wildmo was able to attend was convened and, at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission moved to approve the applicanYs rzquest to install the aluminium signage but denied the applicanYs request to internally illuminaze the signage as reflected in the Commission's Resolution No. 3912, approved March 9. 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference and which contained the following findings of fact se*!ing forth the Com�nission's reasons far denying the application to intemally illuminate the sign letters: The proposed signs are incompatible with the building's historic character for the following reasons: A. The signs would be internally illuminated. B. The proposed location of the two signs-between the first story cornice and the second story sill course-is cramped and not the historically appropriate location for storefront signage. C. The signs would project 15-inches from the building surface to which they would be attached. Secondary reasons are 1) the lettering style contributes to the excessively modern appearance of the signs and 2) the location of four signs near one spot at the corner of this building would cause a jumbled appearance of signage (the four signs would be the two proposed signs, the recentiy installed metal Glockenspiel sign, and the neon CSPS Hall sign). �� • - 2 2. The proposed signs are contrary to the federal Secretary of the Interior's standazds and 3 guidelines for rehabilitation: they are incompatible with azchitectural features to protect 4 historic integrity; they aze not as sunple as possible; they do not fit flush with the existing 5 features of the facade, and they are intemally ilhuiiinated. 7 3. The owner of the establishment has recently installed, with HPC approval, a wrought iron 8 sign projecting from the corner pier and may, in the fixture, install signage on an awning 9 valence. This signage is compatible with the building's historic character. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 4. Some other signage options that would be compatible with the building's historic character include: Q � Externally illuminated signs on, or attached to, the first story comice; such signs could be painted or composed of individual, non-plastic, lettering. Signs painted on the storefront windows. Extemally illuminated signage attached to the eastern wall of the building. In addition, neon signs located on the inside of storefront windows do not require a sign permit or HPC approval and would have a less adverse impact on the building's historic chazacter than the proposed internally illuminated signs. 22 23 5. The building's preservation program states that the neon "C. S. P. S. Hall" sign located at 24 the comer of the building should be preserved. The existence of this neon sign, which 25 probably dates from the 1940s, does not justify adding contemporary intemally 26 illuminated signs to the building. 27 28 �'HEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code § 73.06, David 29 Wil�no, on March 14, 2000, duly filed an appeal of the Commissions determination and 30 requested that a hearing be held before the Saint Paul City Council for the purposes of 31 considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and 32 33 WHEREAS, acting pursuant to § 73.06 and upon notice to affected parties a public 34 hearing was duly conducted by the Saint Paul City Council on April 5, 200Q where all interested 35 parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and 36 37 'WHEREAS, the Council, having heard the statements made and having considered the 38 application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Commission DOFS 39 HEREBY; 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 RESOLVE, to reverse the decision ofthe Heritage Preservation Commission in this matter based on the following findings of the Council: Intemally illuminated signage, as opposed to externally illuxninated signage, will not fundamentally alter the historic character of the C.S.P.S. building. 1 cx�-�� 2 AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of David Wildmo be and is 3 hereby granted; and 4 5 AND, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Council Secretary shall mail a copy of 6 this resolution to David Wildmo, the Zoning Administrator and the Heritage Preservation 7 Commission.

Seventh St. HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION ACTION: Denial. SUPPORT None. OPPOSITION None. Dear Ms. Anderson: Mr. David Wildmo, the owner of the Glockenspiel baz and restaurant at 605 W. Seventh St., has appealed the decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission to deny approval of a sign permit for rivo internally illuminated signs. The Glockenspiel recently opened in the C.S.P.S. Hall building which is an individually designated heritage preservation site. The HPC conducted two public hearings concerning the proposed signs. Mr. Wildmo forgot to attend the first hearing on January 24, 2000 and the matter was laid over due to unanswered questions. The second public heazing was heid on February 24, 2000. There was no public testimony at the heazings aside from Mr. Wildmo and a sign company representative. At the close of the February heazing, the commission voted 7- 0 to approve an iron sign and 6- i to deny approval of the two proposed intemally illuminated signs. A resolution formalizing the denial was approved on a 7- 0 vote at the Mazch 9, 2000 HPC Committee of the Whole meeting. The commission's finding for denial are stated in the resolution, which is attached. Mr. Wildmo states his grounds for appeal in his Mazch 14, 20001etter which is also attached. This appeal is scheduled to be heazd by the City Council on April 5, 2000. I have attached all pertinent information. Slides of the site will be available at the Council meeting if Councilmembers wish to view them.

David Wildmo, the Glockenspiel owner, described the signage he wants and showed a photograph and a drawing of the iron sign that has been fabricated. Younkin: Intemally lit signage is contrary to the guidelines. What is the rationale for using it here? Wildmo: IYs a traditional, classic German sign, as authentic as possible, with no damage to the building. Buetow: Have you considered putting signs on the cornice? T'hat is the traditional location for signage. W ildmo: The proposed signs will result in less damage to the building. The public hearing was closed. Bellus: Let's divide the issues and start with the iron sign. Buetow: IYs a great sign—traditional, in keeping with the chazacter ofthe building. Younkin and Errigo moved and seconded approval of the iron sign; passed 7- 0. Buetow: The placement and the projection of the proposed intemally illuminated signs is a problem. I don't have a problem with neon, given the existing CSPS sign. Benton: Previous establishments in the building had signs painted on the storefront windows. Younkin and Benton moved and seconded denial of a permit for the proposed internally illuminated signs. Younkin: The rationale or fmdings for denial aze inappropriate location, intemal illumination is contrary � to federal guidelines, and lettering appears modem. Benton: Agree with Lazson's comments that the lit signage as proposed would appear overwhelming. Errigo: Will support the motion; a very appropriate sign was just approved.

Hali buiiding at 605 W. 7'" St (aka 381 Michigan St.). The building is an individually designated heritage preservation site (local) and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The C.S.P.S. Hall was built in 1887. In 1917 tfie building was remodeled ea�tensively and a third story was added to the front part of ttte building. Tfie building's significance is tustoric rather than azchitectural (see attached history and significance statement). The applicant, and restaurant owner David Wildmo, propose installing two signs near the corner of the building, facing south and east. The signs would have individual, internally illuminated letters. Some details: i � The signs are 1' lugh by 9.5' long by 10" to 13" deep. They would be located beriveen the first story comice and the second siory window sills. L,ettering would be supported by an aluminum raceway, or continuous bo�c, painted the color of the painted brick. The signs would be mounted to the building using anchors in the mortar joints between bricks. Letters would have aluminum cabinets and acrylic or polycarbonate faces. The letters would be entirely wlute and the neon lighting within the letters would be white. The restaurant owner also plans to install a wrought iron sign and decorative light fixture mounted to the first story comer post at the restaurant entrance. He may also, in the future, replace the existing awning with a new one with the Glockenspiel name on the valence (the small band that hangs down at the bottom of an awning). The preservation program for the C.S.P.S. Hall dces not specificaliy mention new signage. It dces say that "The appearance of the exterior, particulazly the upper two stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance." The HPC uses the federal Secretary of the Interior's rehabilitation standards and guidelines for individually designated sites since the preservation programs for the individual sites do not contain detailed guidelines. Relevant portions of the federal standazds and guidelines are attached. The federal guidelines recommend not using new illuminated signs. � 16 I � 4 � � , Z '\ .DEC-2� 1?'?6 0:=:�3 �=1Ti CF =T FHII LIEF t;-� E Y ur 5 i t'HUL HU0.0tNG INSFcG7104 AKC GE:IG1 OFFtf.

HALL Preservation ProQram � � Although G.S.P.S. Hall is architecturally "undistinguished," the character of its 1887/1917 appearance is a visual symool of its historic i.mportance. The appearance of the exterior, particularly the upper two stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance. The emblem below the garaget on the Michigan Street facade and the corner sign should both be preserved. The Commission offers preliminary consultation with its Advisory Design Conmmittee £or any exterior remodeling or new signage on the first story. Redevelopment of the first floor should, if possible, support the buildings image as a symbol of Czech community history. The Commission strongly encourages continued use of the building by the . Czech community, so that a vital "living" link with local cultural history can be maintained. L�� ' C.S.P.S. HALL , 381-383 Michigan Street HIS70RY AND SIGNIFICANCE The C.S.P.S. Hall, an unpretentious three story brick building on the corner of Michigan and Western, was built in 1887 for the Czech Lodge of the C.S.P.S. (Czecho Slovak Protective Society). The building was extensively remodeled in 1917. (The third StOry ddditi0n was built on the front third of the building, the hall entrance was moved from the west side to the center of the hiichigan Street side, and the emblem "1887-C.S.P.S. - 1917" was placed below the parapet on the Michigan Street facade.) Yet its character remains virtually unchanged from the time it was built. It has been owned continuously by the Czech Lodge since 1887, and the uses of the building remain the same as they were origin.ally. The upstairs halT serves as a cuiturai center, used for meetings, social and cultural events, and gymnastics. The first floor is devoted to cortrtnercial use and has housed a variety of small businesses over the years. The C.S.P.S. Hall is an undistinguished exampie of a 19th century commercial building and does not have any particular architectural merit. Placed on the Nationa] Register of Historic Places in 7977, it is, however, a recognized . historic site. Its significance is due to its association with late 19th Century Czech irtenigration and the Czech ethnic and cultural contribution to the development of thecommunity. Some additional historic significance is derived from Antonin Dvorak's visit to the hall in 1893, o-rhen an informal reception was held there in his honor. A few years ago the future of the C.S.P.S. Hati seemed to be in doubt. Now, however, the efforts of inembers of the Czech Lodge, the St. Paul Sokol Gymnastic Society, and others to preserve this symbol of the community's cultural heri- tage are beginning to show positive results. In the near future, the first floor will be remodeled to accomodate a new Czech restaurant. A plan for repairing and preserving the building has been worked out and funding is now being sought.

The white acrylic letters would be internally illuminated by 6 white neon light. The signs would advertise the new Glockenspiel bar and restaurant located in 7 the C.S.P.S. Hall building at 605 West Seventh Street and legally described as set forth in the 8 application on file in Commission File No. 3912. The C.S.P.S. Hall is listed on the National 9 Register ofHistoric Places; and 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 WHEREAS, the Commission duly conducted a public hearing on January 24, 200Q after having provided notice to the affected parties. However, Mr. Wildomo was not present and the Commission elected to lay the matter over so Mr. Wildmo could appear and answer questions before the Commissior, rendered a decision; and F�'HEREAS, on February 24, 2000, a public heariti,g which Mr.Wildmo was able to attend was convened and, at the conclusion of the public hearing, the Commission moved to approve the applicanYs rzquest to install the aluminium signage but denied the applicanYs request to internally illuminaze the signage as reflected in the Commission's Resolution No. 3912, approved March 9. 2000, which is incorporated herein by reference and which contained the following findings of fact se*!ing forth the Com�nission's reasons far denying the application to intemally illuminate the sign letters: The proposed signs are incompatible with the building's historic character for the following reasons: A. The signs would be internally illuminated. B. The proposed location of the two signs-between the first story cornice and the second story sill course-is cramped and not the historically appropriate location for storefront signage. C. The signs would project 15-inches from the building surface to which they would be attached. Secondary reasons are 1) the lettering style contributes to the excessively modern appearance of the signs and 2) the location of four signs near one spot at the corner of this building would cause a jumbled appearance of signage (the four signs would be the two proposed signs, the recentiy installed metal Glockenspiel sign, and the neon CSPS Hall sign). �� • - 2 2. The proposed signs are contrary to the federal Secretary of the Interior's standazds and 3 guidelines for rehabilitation: they are incompatible with azchitectural features to protect 4 historic integrity; they aze not as sunple as possible; they do not fit flush with the existing 5 features of the facade, and they are intemally ilhuiiinated. 7 3. The owner of the establishment has recently installed, with HPC approval, a wrought iron 8 sign projecting from the corner pier and may, in the fixture, install signage on an awning 9 valence. This signage is compatible with the building's historic character. 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 4. Some other signage options that would be compatible with the building's historic character include: Q � Externally illuminated signs on, or attached to, the first story comice; such signs could be painted or composed of individual, non-plastic, lettering. Signs painted on the storefront windows. Extemally illuminated signage attached to the eastern wall of the building. In addition, neon signs located on the inside of storefront windows do not require a sign permit or HPC approval and would have a less adverse impact on the building's historic chazacter than the proposed internally illuminated signs. 22 23 5. The building's preservation program states that the neon "C. S. P. S. Hall" sign located at 24 the comer of the building should be preserved. The existence of this neon sign, which 25 probably dates from the 1940s, does not justify adding contemporary intemally 26 illuminated signs to the building. 27 28 �'HEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of Saint Paul Legislative Code § 73.06, David 29 Wil�no, on March 14, 2000, duly filed an appeal of the Commissions determination and 30 requested that a hearing be held before the Saint Paul City Council for the purposes of 31 considering the actions taken by the said Commission; and 32 33 WHEREAS, acting pursuant to § 73.06 and upon notice to affected parties a public 34 hearing was duly conducted by the Saint Paul City Council on April 5, 200Q where all interested 35 parties were given an opportunity to be heard; and 36 37 'WHEREAS, the Council, having heard the statements made and having considered the 38 application, the report of staff, the record, minutes and resolution of the Commission DOFS 39 HEREBY; 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 RESOLVE, to reverse the decision ofthe Heritage Preservation Commission in this matter based on the following findings of the Council: Intemally illuminated signage, as opposed to externally illuxninated signage, will not fundamentally alter the historic character of the C.S.P.S. building. 1 cx�-�� 2 AND, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appeal of David Wildmo be and is 3 hereby granted; and 4 5 AND, BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Council Secretary shall mail a copy of 6 this resolution to David Wildmo, the Zoning Administrator and the Heritage Preservation 7 Commission.

Seventh St. HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION ACTION: Denial. SUPPORT None. OPPOSITION None. Dear Ms. Anderson: Mr. David Wildmo, the owner of the Glockenspiel baz and restaurant at 605 W. Seventh St., has appealed the decision of the Heritage Preservation Commission to deny approval of a sign permit for rivo internally illuminated signs. The Glockenspiel recently opened in the C.S.P.S. Hall building which is an individually designated heritage preservation site. The HPC conducted two public hearings concerning the proposed signs. Mr. Wildmo forgot to attend the first hearing on January 24, 2000 and the matter was laid over due to unanswered questions. The second public heazing was heid on February 24, 2000. There was no public testimony at the heazings aside from Mr. Wildmo and a sign company representative. At the close of the February heazing, the commission voted 7- 0 to approve an iron sign and 6- i to deny approval of the two proposed intemally illuminated signs. A resolution formalizing the denial was approved on a 7- 0 vote at the Mazch 9, 2000 HPC Committee of the Whole meeting. The commission's finding for denial are stated in the resolution, which is attached. Mr. Wildmo states his grounds for appeal in his Mazch 14, 20001etter which is also attached. This appeal is scheduled to be heazd by the City Council on April 5, 2000. I have attached all pertinent information. Slides of the site will be available at the Council meeting if Councilmembers wish to view them.

Seventh St. (signs consist of 5"-deep white aluminum channel letters with white acrylic faces and white neon inside mounted to 10"-deep aluminum raceways painted the color of the brick); and WHEREAS, the Glockenspiel is located in the C. S. P. S. Hall, a three-story, brick structure constructed in 1887 with extensive remodeling in 1917; the building is historically significant for its use as a Czech cultural center since its construction; it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is an individually designated heritage preservation site by the City of Saint Paul; and WHEREAS, the Preservation Program for the C. S. P. S. Hall states, in part, that "the appeazance of the exterior, particulazly the upper rivo stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance";and WI�REAS, the Heritage Preservation Commission is obligated by the City's Certified Local Government contract with the Minnesota Historical Society to "conduct its design review of designated properties according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation"; and WHEREAS, the Secretary of the Interior's Standazds for Rehabilitation state that "the historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved" and that "new additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction ... shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environmenP'; and WI�REAS, the federal Secretary of the Interior's Guidelines for Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, which elaborate on the federal Secretary's standazds, recommend that "the treatment of secondary [storefront] design elements, such as awnings or signs, [bej kept as simple as possible. For example, new signs should fit flush with the existing features of the facade, such as the fascia boazd or comice" and recommend against "using new illuminated signs; inappropriately scaled signs and logos; signs that project over the sidewalk mmless they were a characteristic feamre of the historic building; or other types of signs that obscure, damage, or destroy remaining chazacter-defining features of the historic building"; and WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, based upon the evidence presented at its February 24, 2000 public heazing on said permit application, made the following findings of fact: 3 Her�tage Preservation Commission Resolution Re: File #3912 / 605 W. 7'" St. Signs 9 Mazch 2000 Page Two The proposed signs aze incompatible with the building's historic character for the following reasons: A. The signs would be internally illutninated. B. The proposed location of the two signs-beriveen the first story comice and the second story sill course-is cramped and not the historically appropriate location for storefront signage. C. The signs would project 15-inches from the building surface to which they would be attached. Secondary reasons aze 1) the lettering style contributes to the excessively modem appearance of the signs and 2) the location of four signs near one spot at the corner of this building would cause a jumbled appearance of signage (the four signs would be the two proposed signs, the recently installed metal Glockenspiel sign, and the neon CSPS Aall sign). � 2. The proposed signs aze contrary to the federal Secretary of the Interior's standazds and guidelines for rehabilitation: they aze incompatible with azchitectural feamres to protect historic integrity; they aze not as simple as possible; they do not fit flush with the existing features of the facade, and they aze [intemally] illuminated. � 3. The owner of the establishment has recently installed, with HPC approval, a wrought iron sign projecting from the corner pier and may, in the future, install signage on an awning valence. This signage is compatible with the building's historic character. 4. Some other signage options that wouId be compatible with the building's historic character include: A. Externally illuminated signs on, or attached to, the first story cornice; such signs could be painted or composed of individual, non-plastic, lettering. B. Signs painted on the storefront windows. C. Eatemally illuminated signage attached to the eastem wall of the building. In addition, neon signs located on the inside of storefront windows do not require a sign permit or HPC approval and would have a less adverse impact on the building's historic character than the proposed intemally illuminated signs. 5. The building's preservation program states that the neon "C. S. P. S. Hall" sign located at the comer of the building should be preserved. The existence of this neon sign, which probably dates from the 1940s, does not justify adding contemporary intemally illuminated signs to the building. �� J � `J Heritage Preservation Commission Resolution Re: File #3912 / 605 W. 7t St. Signs 9 Mazch 2000 Page Three 6a -� � NOW, T'HEREFORE, BE TT RESOLVED, that based on the above findings, the Heritage Preservation Commission denies approval of a permit for rivo intemally illuminated signs proposed for the Glockenspiel baz and restaurant at 605 West Seventh Street.

We also alwsys use local contractors and suppfiers in order to hetp St. Paul's business environmeat healthy. In fact, the sign contractor is a St. Paul fum This business wHl be a destination place for St. Paul and West Sevemh Street. The only complaint we have had &om customers is fiad'mg the place.

Mr. Lazson: The building's significance is historic and not architectural. Three Glockenspiel signs would oveiwhelm the CSPS identity; it wouid seem like the Glockenspiel building. Intemal illumination of the proposed signs may be okay given that the building's significance is his[oric. Mr. Murphy: Given that we don't know the design of the third sign, we lack adequate information with which to make a decision and I withdraw the motion to approve.

David Wildmo, the Glockenspiel owner, described the signage he wants and showed a photograph and a drawing of the iron sign that has been fabricated. Younkin: Intemally lit signage is contrary to the guidelines. What is the rationale for using it here? Wildmo: IYs a traditional, classic German sign, as authentic as possible, with no damage to the building. Buetow: Have you considered putting signs on the cornice? T'hat is the traditional location for signage. W ildmo: The proposed signs will result in less damage to the building. The public hearing was closed. Bellus: Let's divide the issues and start with the iron sign. Buetow: IYs a great sign—traditional, in keeping with the chazacter ofthe building. Younkin and Errigo moved and seconded approval of the iron sign; passed 7- 0. Buetow: The placement and the projection of the proposed intemally illuminated signs is a problem. I don't have a problem with neon, given the existing CSPS sign. Benton: Previous establishments in the building had signs painted on the storefront windows. Younkin and Benton moved and seconded denial of a permit for the proposed internally illuminated signs. Younkin: The rationale or fmdings for denial aze inappropriate location, intemal illumination is contrary � to federal guidelines, and lettering appears modem. Benton: Agree with Lazson's comments that the lit signage as proposed would appear overwhelming. Errigo: Will support the motion; a very appropriate sign was just approved. Wildmo: The signs aze already made and paid for. Can I put up the signs for a one-week probationary period? The motion to deny approval of the intemally illuminated signs passed 6-1 {Scott).

Hali buiiding at 605 W. 7'" St (aka 381 Michigan St.). The building is an individually designated heritage preservation site (local) and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The C.S.P.S. Hall was built in 1887. In 1917 tfie building was remodeled ea�tensively and a third story was added to the front part of ttte building. Tfie building's significance is tustoric rather than azchitectural (see attached history and significance statement). The applicant, and restaurant owner David Wildmo, propose installing two signs near the corner of the building, facing south and east. The signs would have individual, internally illuminated letters. Some details: i � The signs are 1' lugh by 9.5' long by 10" to 13" deep. They would be located beriveen the first story comice and the second siory window sills. L,ettering would be supported by an aluminum raceway, or continuous bo�c, painted the color of the painted brick. The signs would be mounted to the building using anchors in the mortar joints between bricks. Letters would have aluminum cabinets and acrylic or polycarbonate faces. The letters would be entirely wlute and the neon lighting within the letters would be white. The restaurant owner also plans to install a wrought iron sign and decorative light fixture mounted to the first story comer post at the restaurant entrance. He may also, in the future, replace the existing awning with a new one with the Glockenspiel name on the valence (the small band that hangs down at the bottom of an awning). The preservation program for the C.S.P.S. Hall dces not specificaliy mention new signage. It dces say that "The appearance of the exterior, particulazly the upper two stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance." The HPC uses the federal Secretary of the Interior's rehabilitation standards and guidelines for individually designated sites since the preservation programs for the individual sites do not contain detailed guidelines. Relevant portions of the federal standazds and guidelines are attached. The federal guidelines recommend not using new illuminated signs. � 16 I � 4 � � , Z '\ .DEC-2� 1?'?6 0:=:�3 �=1Ti CF =T FHII LIEF t;-� E Y ur 5 i t'HUL HU0.0tNG INSFcG7104 AKC GE:IG1 OFFtf.

HALL Preservation ProQram � � Although G.S.P.S. Hall is architecturally "undistinguished," the character of its 1887/1917 appearance is a visual symool of its historic i.mportance. The appearance of the exterior, particularly the upper two stories, should be maintained in a manner compatible with the 1917 appearance. The emblem below the garaget on the Michigan Street facade and the corner sign should both be preserved. The Commission offers preliminary consultation with its Advisory Design Conmmittee £or any exterior remodeling or new signage on the first story. Redevelopment of the first floor should, if possible, support the buildings image as a symbol of Czech community history. The Commission strongly encourages continued use of the building by the . Czech community, so that a vital "living" link with local cultural history can be maintained. L�� ' C.S.P.S. HALL , 381-383 Michigan Street HIS70RY AND SIGNIFICANCE The C.S.P.S. Hall, an unpretentious three story brick building on the corner of Michigan and Western, was built in 1887 for the Czech Lodge of the C.S.P.S. (Czecho Slovak Protective Society). The building was extensively remodeled in 1917. (The third StOry ddditi0n was built on the front third of the building, the hall entrance was moved from the west side to the center of the hiichigan Street side, and the emblem "1887-C.S.P.S. - 1917" was placed below the parapet on the Michigan Street facade.) Yet its character remains virtually unchanged from the time it was built. It has been owned continuously by the Czech Lodge since 1887, and the uses of the building remain the same as they were origin.ally. The upstairs halT serves as a cuiturai center, used for meetings, social and cultural events, and gymnastics. The first floor is devoted to cortrtnercial use and has housed a variety of small businesses over the years. The C.S.P.S. Hall is an undistinguished exampie of a 19th century commercial building and does not have any particular architectural merit. Placed on the Nationa] Register of Historic Places in 7977, it is, however, a recognized . historic site. Its significance is due to its association with late 19th Century Czech irtenigration and the Czech ethnic and cultural contribution to the development of thecommunity. Some additional historic significance is derived from Antonin Dvorak's visit to the hall in 1893, o-rhen an informal reception was held there in his honor. A few years ago the future of the C.S.P.S. Hati seemed to be in doubt. Now, however, the efforts of inembers of the Czech Lodge, the St. Paul Sokol Gymnastic Society, and others to preserve this symbol of the community's cultural heri- tage are beginning to show positive results. In the near future, the first floor will be remodeled to accomodate a new Czech restaurant. A plan for repairing and preserving the building has been worked out and funding is now being sought.
