Jennifer <br />Mermilliod, contract planner, presented the staff report. Stan Kantowski, <br />Motion <br />Mission Inn Manager, spoke regarding the need to provide their guests <br />Second <br />with an enclosure to protect them from wind, cold or heat at the Bella <br />All Ayes <br />Trattoria and introduced AC Atherton, architect. Ms. Atherton answered <br />the Board's questions and provided additional details of the enclosure and <br />its shape. Comments from the audience: Stan Morrison, Senior Vice <br />President Pacific Premier Bank, and Cindy Roth, President, Greater <br />Riverside Chambers of Commerce, spoke in support of the proposal. <br />Chair Lech noted that a letter from the Greater Riverside Chambers of <br />Commerce was received and distributed this afternoon. The Board <br />members expressed their concern regarding the appearance of the <br />"conservatory" enclosure. Board comments and concerns: did not agree <br />that the enclosure design was compatible with the Mission Inn <br />architecture; the use of a pointed dome for the enclosure rather than a <br />domed roof; the use of a French window style element as opposed to <br />individual panes that could potentially mimic the look of the other 5 being <br />installed. No one questioned the beauty of the piece, just a matter of other <br />ways to obtain a flow with this area of the building and the building in <br />general. Also of concern, was the possibility of setting a precedent by <br />adding an architectural interpretation to this Landmark. Ms. Mermilliod <br />stated that the applicant has offered to withdraw the "conservatory" <br />enclosure at this time and proceed with just the enclosure of all six west - <br />facing bays with segmented arched glass. The "conservatory" enclosure <br />will be reconsidered incorporating the Board's comments and resubmitted <br />at a future date. The Board agreed to this and following discussion the <br />Approved - Cultural Heritage Board Minutes — August 17, 2016 Page 1 of 2 <br />
