HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Jakubovich said that is the central part of Brady Street and the plan is to build a two-story addition that would include an accessible entrance and an exit. The addition would allow the use of the upstairs and second floor. The addition would have two doors on the first floor, one of which is accessible and the other for an emergency exit. There would be a cornice separating the first story from the second and there would be a railing of poles and cables, so it would be very transparent. The second floor is set back from the first floor. There would be wood siding and the doors and windows are very minimal and it would correspond to the wood siding construction you see on the outside of the original building. The second story would have french doors. The project needs more work in terms of the detailed drawing, but it gives the Commission a good idea of what is proposed. Staff hopes to get those last details, which can be handled by a staff review. The recommendation is to approve with the requirement that final detail drawings, such as cornices, windows and door samples be brought in.
Kevin Rodgers, the architect, present to answer any questions. The door on the right is a service entrance that will go into the basement. The first floor is 14 feet back and the second floor is 26 feet back. The new wall will be 11" from the building on the east; it will be right on the property line.
Gino Caltodo - one of the owners of JoeyC's - they have spent thousands and thousands of of dollars and lots of time trying to put a bathroom upstairs for their capacity. The driving force to this is ADA compliance and bathrooms upstairs for their capacity. Mimmas built 6" from the back of their buildng. It's not ideal being that close, but the best they could come up with. The zoning does allow construction up to the lot line.
Amanda Williams - Ald. Kovac aide - he supports the project as long as the architecture is tasteful and appropriate to the Commission. Mr. Jarosz moved for approval contingent upon review by the staff relating to the lighting and the understanding that the DNS Commissioner and the local alderman support this.
