HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that at the far north end, the proposal is to create four new houses with garages as well as an alley. Staff has no concerns about landscaping or the house designs. The houses fit well into the neighborhood and don't distract as new construction. The land is indeed excess and from 1910 to 1960 there were 18 buildings on this land. DCD staff preferred larger lots with these houses to be more market-able; the lots are 70-foot lots. The garages are detached and there is also a parking slab. Ms. Nemec said across the street is basically a suburban subdivision.
Ms. Nemec said the state approved vinyl siding and vinyl windows as they worked well with the neighborhood fabric. Her concern with wood is the maintenance burden for new homeowners - she likes the Hardy products as they've very durable.
Mr. Tim Askin said the Commission has always insisted on wood, but that was in where the building was in a historic district.
The State Historic Preservation Office did accept this as drafted.
Mr. Jarosz moved to approve as submitted with Hardy Plank and windows; this does not set precedent; does not apply to properties within or adjacent to historic districts; and the affected land has been vacant for 50 years, seconded by Ms. Peltz. | Pass | 5:0 |
