HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich gave an overview on the proposal to build a new one story, flat roofed, limestone addition on the Mitchell Street side of St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church. It will be approximately 18 feet by 7 feet 4 inches. It will be placed at the second bay in the front between two pilasters, clad in the same type of stone with same type of finish to match the church, and trimmed with stone moldings. The addition is being constructed to house an elevator for accessibility to the main level of the church with exit stairs. It will feature two, symmetrically placed, Gothic style windows, each trimmed at the top with a traditional label stop molding.
Mr. Jakubovich, on behalf of staff, recommended approval based upon the staff report.
Appearing in support and representing the applicant:

Ms. Nemec questioned why the preferred option, without the additional door and steps coming around, was chosen instead of another option?
Mr. Thompson said that cost and concern for families were the reasons. He added that there is the desire to put a larger lift to accommodate and provide the opportunity for other family members to enter the church when one family member was mobility impaired. A small lift mechanism was not accommodating to all and presence of stairs and landing would compete with accessibility.
Ms. Balon, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown, moved approval of a Certificate of Appropriateness for an addition at St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church at 1711 S. 9th Street for the parish, represented by Bernard Fenelon, based upon staff recommendation. There were no objections. | Pass | 5:0 |
