HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Per Mr. Doerrfeld, the staff report should read W. State Street, not North. The garage will be at the rear of the property and staff is concerned about the assymmetry of the door separation. There will be 3 garage doors in front and one in the rear. Staff was concerned that the one garage door would face the primary structure and the siding (Smart Side) may be an issue in terms of durability. In the alley on W. State Street, steel clad garage doors are pretty prevalant. Staff would prefer wood siding, reconfigure the two elevations as well as other recommendations. l
David Grosse - he built the house addition and can duplicate it on the garage. Ms. Hatala checked the COAs and they all say "wood doors" on the garages, but they used metal doors. The applicant owns three houses on this block. Since 1987, all the new doors have been metal and prior to that they were wood. The metal doors are for security reasons. The same siding as the applicant is considering using has been used on another garage for 15 years with no issues. Staff has a question of the Dept. of City Development as to whether indoor garage parking is included in the count for parking on a one- and two-family lot which is limited to four spaces. The public will not be able to see the garage from the public right of way because there are only a few feet between the houses. There is a room for storage above the garage so that he has a pulldown and doesn't have to move a car out to get into the storage area. He agrees to make them symmetrical. He will also need to work with staff to work out some of the little details, as this is a stock design, per staff.
Mr. Jarosz moved for approval with the recommendations provided by staff with some modifications as related to metal doors and symmetry and the applicant work with staff on details, seconded by Ms. Keating Kahn. He hasn't actually decided yet siding material will be used and he will work with staff as he wants to research two other products. He doesn't want to have to re-paint in seven years. It will come back before the commission if an agreement cannot be reached.
