HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said this site is a former JC Penney store and the current owners want to use the upper floors for office space, so they need separate access and to meet ADA requirements. The tower will be constructed at the east elevation. The proposal was just modfied today. The tower will include windows and will require removal of the fire escape on the east side and also the small, attached shed. The cornice on the elevator will mimic the overhang on the current Foot Locker store. The cladding will go vertically, rather than horizontally, as shown by the photo. Staff recommends approval.

Mr. Kesselman said the freight elevator was being used as a passenger elevator and the first floor was filled with 20 years of junk. They have to do an elevator no matter what use the upper stories become. The attached shed was built a few years ago for a catering business in the basement.
Mr. Williams had some suggestions relating to the brick color used. Mr. Jarosz asked if metal panels or a more-glassy look had been looked at for the bottom portion which is proposed brick right now. Mr. Williams like the juxtaposiiton of new and old. Mr. Vavra said that the windows were added in the brick area since that is the wating area for the elevator and it also softens up that area.
Mr. Jarosz moved for approval, as long as the applicant meets with staff to address the brick issue, and staff can approve. Seconded by Ald. Bauman. | Pass | 6:0 |
