Appearing: Chris Houden, applicant This minor modification will allow an existing parking lot adjacent to the historic Goll Mansion to temporarily be used as a principal use parking lot for 3 years from the date of Common Council approval of this file. Additionally, the owner will make repairs to the Goll Mansion, which include improvements to the roof and front and west façades (among others as outlined in Exhibit A), to ensure that the structure remains in satisfactory condition, and the existing abandoned monument sign along Prospect Avenue will be removed. There was discussion on the prior and proposed interim parking lot use; plans for the residential tower development in the future; the currently vacant Goll Mansion not having connection to heat, water, and electricity; and community engagement. Mr. Houden said that the parking will be used for neighboring residents in the interim; power, heat and water are disconnected to the mansion; construction of the tower may commence in 3 years; they have taken proper steps to ensure that the vacant historic structure remains in good condition inside and outside; Historic Preservation Commission staff is aware of the electric, heat and water disconnection; the mansion was never heated during his ownership of the site; he had only disconnected the water to avoid damage from events such as burst pipes; and community engagement had occurred through the prior approvals for the site.
