12/8/20250 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION  

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that this is one of the oldest commercial district, from the 1850s. The store fronts are from 2000 or the 1970s. The concept is okay, but the details are not there. The proportions of the store front are off while the proposed transoms also have issues and the fact that the door is aligned with the front is also a concern. There are no great photos of the front of this building; you can just tell that the storefronts are recessed. The proposed transom and center rail on the door are both too thick and there is no visual connection with the store front and the columns. He does not believe that modern aluminum can be used to match 1850s style; this would be a decrease in material quality. The bulkhead detailing is also too simple. A neighbor did file an objection to this design; she owns every-other building on this block face and requests that their main entrance be on the south store front. Staff recommends either a hold or a denial. Misti Rodberg - architect Mike Neumann - architect Ms. Rodberg said the existing wood store front is starting to show dry rot. They would like to get more recommendations if they go away from a metal storefront what materials could be used. The building has been unoccupied for a number of years. They agree with staff, but don't understand what they can do.
