HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: The Commission, from the previous meeting, wanted to be provided with more detail on the retaining wall materials. The architects are here for the project and brought product samples. The Commission was concerned about the thinness of the proposed product. Mr. Williams thinks that as the materials change, that it's appropriate to review materials on a case-by-case basis, although material similar to this was rejected for a property on Terrace Ave.

Ald. Bauman suggested getting limestone from foundations of destroyed homes in the city. The architects liked the warranty provided by a new product and feard that the limestone may not be able to handle the surge experienced by a retaining wall. The architects had considered poured concrete, but didn't think it would look good with a historic home. The architects preferred the engineered block, which the Commission doesn't support.
Held to revisit the retaining wall material. | Pass | 5:0 |

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said that there currently is no garage and the cars park in the driveway. The proposal is to build a driveway to service this house and the new house proposed for 2115. The driveway is built into the hill, which will allow for an exterior deck. There will be landscaping that will adjoin the two houses. There will be cast stone used on the retaining walll. Staff recommends approval conditioned upon the use of decay-resistant wood and more details provided on the railings and door, to be approved by staff, and retention or re-use of the wrought iron fence on the property.
Mr. WIllilams is a near neighbor and thinks this is a nice solution for the parking problem that has plagued this property for years.

Samples of various proposed products were passed around for Commission review.
The siding is fly ash, which Ms. Keating Kahn had some health concerns with as some schools had used it and were closed due to toxicity. The architects did some of their own testing relating to have it in water for over a year and seeing no changes in the product. The garage door would be custom made with this product.
Both Mr. Williams and Mr. Jarosz are comfortable with the siding used and it might be even more soil-resistant than wood would be. Mr. Jarosz would like to get more information on the retaining wall in terms of materials and a more accurate rendering. The company that makes the product for the wall will engineer it for the builder.
Mr. Williams moved to approve the siding material and to hold on the material for the retaining wall, seconded by Mr. Jarosz. There were no objections. The retaining wall will need to come before the full board, not handled at the staff level.
