6/12/2017	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the church is seeking to replace its windows as part of an ongoing rehabilitation program. The church was completed prior to 1875. The windows may already be a third generation of windows, although no close-up photos have been found of the windows. The first major changes happened in the 1890s and by 1916 the front steps had been completely re-done. In 1962 all of the current windows were installed. The applicants would like to reproduce the more religous-themed windows that had been in place prior to the current windows. Staff thinks the applicant is working on recreating the windows as much as possible. There are some salvaged pieces that were found in a parishioner's basement, which will be incorporated into the new windows. The applicant did submit proposed designs. Staff recommends documentation of the current windows be done prior to removal and has other recommendations contained in the staff report. Abbey George Baird - they recovered 10% of the glass and less than 5% of that is usable due to its condition. They will retain some of the 1960s windows and will put the original fragments in shadow boxes to display inside the church. Heide - stained glass contractor - the original glass was in poor condition as probably fired at too low of a temperature. It is hoped they'll have the art work for the remaining windows by the end of the year. Money was donated for specific projects. Mr. Jarosz will look through his family photos as his grandfather's photography studio was across the street. As a condition of approval, staff will review the stained glass window designs.	Pass	5:0
