HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the building went through a number of conversions and changes over time. There is evidence that a lot of things have deteriorated and been re-built on the facade. The owner has hired an engineer to see what can be done with the building, which has a partial faux stone facade done in 1979. The cast stone has been deteriorating over the years. The stone facade is currently shearing away from the brick walls and there are numerous cracks in the faux stone facade. The back facade appears to be stable. The bricks are also popping away from the facade. The plan is to add brick to match the current brick and a cast-stone product will be used. Staff recommends approval with conditions detailed in the staff report, relating to windows, the entry door and approval of the brick and cast-stone product, design of the cornice detail and working with staff if additional features or details emerge as part of the demolition. If major alterations are needed, it will be returned to the commission for its review.
Maria Novoa Sanchez - owner - owned the building since 1989.
Matt Sangers - architect
The owner would like to use any salvagable materials and put some bricks vertically to make it more aesthetically pleasing. Her main concern was the facade coming down and she wasn't aware of all other other work that will need to be done. As a retiree, she is cognizant of costs. She is willing to work with Ms. Hatala about the renovations.
Mr. Jarosz also thinks the four windows will look better than the three windows. The owner will also let Ms. Hatala know what is under the current facade. Mr. Jarosz noted that just removing the faux stone front and putting in glass will make it much better.
Mr. Jarosz moved for approval, with staff conditions. | Pass | 4:0 |
