2/8/2021	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the school has been neglected for a long time; was previously sold off then foreclosed upon by the city. The building is cream city brick, but was painted red by MPS, which probably damaged the brick. Any future painting should take consideration to not damage the brick and use of the softest mortar possible. The paint will be a cream-city color. The building proposal is acceptable as proposed for painting and roof materials, but would prefer steel gutters for durability. The one set of original doors will be restored and replicas used in other locations. For windows, most of the windows are proposed to be replaced with aluminum replicas. Replacement windows throughout are substantially warranted. Landscaping is dictated by the zoning code and looks adequate. They propose a chain-link fence on the south side and staff would prefer a decorative metal fence to match the other fence on the site. Staff recommends approval on all items except the windows and the chain link fence. Allyson Nemec - architect - the chain link fence is temporary and her client is not opposed to a decorative fence. Ms. Hatala said the school was designated in October 2014. Mr. Askin said the windows were substantially removed due to lead and asbestos abatement. Mr. Jarosz is fine with the aluminum windows in this situation. Mr. Jarosz moved to approve as proposed, seconded by Ms. Peltz, with the proposal being amended with a decorative fence.	Pass	5:0
