HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| RECOMMENDED FOR PLACING ON FILE
Minutes note: Mr. Doerrfeld said that the building is from 1876 and is constructed of cream city brick. The applicant is proposing an attached two car garage and mudroom and reconstruction of the existing porch. The garage would have two wood doors and a portion of the exterior wall and an existing window would need to be removed and shortening of a gable window. The lot is large for the neighborhood and the garage would go near the property line on the side. Staff recommends disapproval of any attached, two car garage.
Jerry and Amanda Teagardner - buildng owner
Dave Koscielniak - architect
Mr. Koscielniak said there is an attached one-car garage just down the street. The garage is pushed back as far as possible and the intention is to make the house the showpiece. The garage would act as a coachhouse and the public would only see the two doors from the street. The garage would be difficult to see from First and Vine and the garage is completely subservient to the design of the house.
Mr. Jarosz thinks this would have huge consequences in their historic districts.
Jill Capicchioni - 112 W. Vine St. - she objects to its being attached, not to a garage itself.
George Baritt - he objects to the garage next to the house - would prefer it be by the back and it would also lead to less security at his side door which wouldn't be visible from the public right of way.
The Commission would probably approve a two-car detached garage, but that would result in the applicant losing the mudroom. The garage should also not be visible from the public right of way and a possible breezeway connecting the garage and house.
Ms. Keating Kahn moved for disapproval, seconded by Mr. Jarosz. | Pass | 4:0 |
