HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said this is a continuation of a project that was reviewed in July. The brick facade is failing and a cream city brick was approved. Two buildings were combined and now they wish to rehabilitate the corner building and add a three-story rear addition. The exterior will be restored and the brick is very similar to that on the historic building. The addition will be half as big as the building and a rear patio will be added as well. There will also be landscaping along the street edge and there will be new wood windows as well as trash enclosures and a rooftop terrace. This will be quite an improvement from what has been there for a number of years. Staff recommends approval with conditions outlined in the staff report and maintaining the historic six-course common bond on the historic section. The foundation will be brick rather than stone for the historic portion.
Patrick Wesley - architect
Isla Jarvis - one of the designers
Property representative also present, but no name given.
Mr. Jarosz would like the new addition to be set back a bit further so it isn't almost flush with the historic portion. The client wanted to have both the old and new to have a cohesive look which is why the brick is similar for both portions. Mr. Jarosz asked if the addition should be differentiated more from the historic building. Mr. Robinson also agreed with possibly differing more between the old and the new, possibly by making the brick coursing a different color. Mr. Jarosz is concerned about how the building is viewed from the expressway, particularly. Mr. Wesley said the setback is about 4". Mr. Wesley said he can look at making some change to differentiate between the two portions although the setback would be harder to change. Mr. Robinson thinks it can be handled by a change in materials.
To provide more renderings with materials differentiation between the historic building and the addition on the east facade to be approved by staff. | Pass | 7:0 |
