PLANNING DIVIS iON

and Pop s is a premium purveyor of candies and confections. The intent of our project is to occupy and
remodel the current Powell's Sweet Shoppe at the subject mentioned address. We hope you f ind, as we
do, that the continuation of a candy and confection retail store and proposed improvements will be of
great benefit to the local community.
Zoning:
Subject mentioned property falls within the C-2 Di strict (C -2A Subdistrict).
History of property address:
The building was originally built in 1920. City records did not reveal any work prior to a 1954 storefront
permit. This permit did not list scope of work. The following is a list of exterior modifications noted
when researching past improvements to the building starting with the storefront permit in 1954:
08/16/54 -Storefront Permit
05/15/73-Exterior repainting (Beige)
10/21/96-Sign permit (Petroglyph)
11/13/96-Storefront altered to add door and window to Petroglyph space.

Proposed Project Description:
Lolli & Pops proposes a remodel to the existing Powell's Sweet Shoppe. Remodel to include remodel of
exterior fa~ade and interior store layout and finishes. Intent of planned updates of facility to meet local
code requirements. Proposed exterior improvements to be of classic contemporary style and include
recessed double door entry similar to existing flanked by two storefront sales windows. Architectural
elements include wood paneled storefront and piers, divided light transom windows w/ frosted glass,
multiple layers of wood cornice molding and striped awnings over storefront openings.
Lolli & Pops proposes to alter storefront design to create separate identity from sister storefront and
neighboring tenant "Petroglyph". Based on historical photographs, curre nt Powell's Sweet Shoppe
fa~ade design is not original to the building.
How proposed design elements help meet "Commercial Design Guidelines":
• Fa~ade to include wood cornice at top of building helping to shape parapet and banding to
frame signage.
• Storefront window area and related transparency has been in crea sed to create more interest
and facilitate relationship between store and pedestrian. Windows p roposed to be wood
framed.
• Wood pilasters have been included to create rhythm and scale of storefront.
• Wood cornice banding creates belt courses to help create more pedestrian scale.
• Decorative detailing include classic exterior light fixtures and projected, striped, fabric awnings
create 3-dimensions adding depth and shadow and creating more huma n scale.
• Fa~ade and related banding honors adjacent properties and related storef ront scales.
Conclusion:
It is the intent of proposed design to be fun and vibrant as a candy store and confectionary should be
while relating well with the local design fabric and setting. It is our hope that you find design to fall
within scope and spirit of the "Commercial Design Guidelines". Per Section 29.20.150 ofthe Town Code,
the considerations in review of and architecture and site application were made i n th e development of
the design for this project. We believe the proposed renovations will be a si gnifican t upgrade to the
building , will complement the surrounding buildings and add to the vib rancy of the Downtown. We
appreciate your review and consideration of our project and look forward to worki ng with you.
Respectfully submitted,
