9/11/20170 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that is being proposed for residential use. It was abandoned as a firehouse in 1914 and has no plumbing. It was used as long-term storage for over 90 years. There is no sewer access provided for at the property. The project is not eligible for tax credits so it will face no other political review. Staff does not support deep masonry cleaning or the addition of a penthouse. The owner is proposing to add/retain historic elements. The owner is proposing adding 900 square feet on top of the building. They are removing the elevator and putting in a staircase in that space. Staff also objects to proposed cladding - would prefer "Pre patina" from the same manufacturer, rather than "Natural". Staff also recommends clipping or rounding one corner to reduce visibility. Staff can accept the proposed door submitted on Friday. There are 2 balconies projected, with one being a French balcony. Staff does not support the proposed changes to the hayloft doors on the second floor. Staff recommends no cleaning of the south elevation go past the chimney line as it can't be seen by the general public anyway. Staff recommends approval with 13 conditions detailed in its staff report. Jalem Getz - propery owner - his mother will live on the lower level and his family on the second floor and above. This is his pet project for him. He worked very closely with staff as did his architect. Ald. Bauman likes the square of the roof as it provides symmetry with the square-cornered building. The owner will accept all the staff recommendations except #1 and #2. Approval with all staff recommendations, except #1 and #2.
