HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| RECOMMENDED FOR PLACING ON FILE
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the building was destroyed last year during the civil unrest. The owner is proposing a new station with a convenience store and tenant space. Two empty city-owned lots will be acquired. The canopy design will need staff review. The new building will be clad in brick for all facades and will face south. The rear has no openings, but will have piers to give it some definition. The color scheme will be solid red. Staff finds the design acceptable. The landscape plan was submitted today that dresses up the corners on the major thoroughfares and that is acceptable as well. This matter will go before BOZA. It is staff's understanding that Ald. Rainey supports this.
Tom Stachowiak- architect - large site and the owner has to work with a budget. In the back, the recessed panels will be for murals, at the request of the Dept. of City Development
The chair thinks the building needs to be more friendly and open.
Vaun Mays - 2649 N. 49th St. - lives and works in Sherman Park - his organization had some issues with the building owner and feels it isn't very neighbor-friendly.
Per Ms. Hatala, the changes submitted today by the owner and architect were a result of the staff report.
Ed Richardson - Dept. of City Development - there are a lot of moving parts on this which a delay would affect.
Gabriel Taylor - 2921 N. 47th St. - the gas station is a major contributor as to what happened to it.
