7/14/20150 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Ms. Hatala provided historical information on the building, which currently has a second floor on the annex, which wasn't original to the building. There is currently a large amount of grime on the building facade. The owner does have plans to clean the building, which have been specified in the submitted application. There will also be re-pointing done as needed. The clock tower will also have some work done on it which will include restoration of the clock so it will work again and the slate roof will be repaired and replaced with new slate as needed. The Commission has before them the construction of a rear stair tower which will also include an elevator. It will be a simple, concrete block that will be painted. There will also be a slight enlargement of the Bartolotta catering door at the rear of the building. Most of the windows are intact on the building, but the might be changes made to some of them, which the architect will address. The skylights will be re-glazed as needed. Conditions for approval are included as part of the staff report in this file. Falamak Nourzad - 228 S. 1st St., Suite 301 - architect - all of the windows will remain intact and will not be replaced. The windows that are currently boarded-up will be opened - they are currently being caulked. Two windows on the interior will be cut down to be entry/exit ways as a result of the new tower. The exhaust fan will be removed from the alley side and will be vented through the annex of the roof. The motion for approval is made with the understanding that staff will review as needed.
