11/6/2017	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the proposal is to build a 2.5/3 story building with a commerical storefront on the first floor. The third floor is deeply recessed and has a shear glass wall. There is a green wall on the Marshall side to screen the mechanicals and waste receptacles. This property is owned by the city and this was the chosen winner for the RFP issued by the city. The building generally fits the site's scale and the materials are appropriate to the district. As a whole, the building fails to connect to other buildings on the street and the windows are vertical rather than horizontal, as the other windows on the street are. Overall, staff believes this design only meets 2 of the 4 Brady Street guidelines and requests that this be held to work further with the applicant. Staff feels that this design can be tweaked to meet Commission standards. Staff presented other alternative designs. Yvest LaPierre - Dept. of City Development - put together the RFP and supports this design, which was the only one submitted that would be presentable to the Commission. Ald. Nik Kovac - a neighbor meeting will be held soon on this project; there is a contingent that wants to keep this as a vacant lot and green space. He was somewhat confused by the staff report and feels it does fit into the neighborhood well. Brian Johnson - architect - changes were made based upon staff concerns. He was surprised by the number of staff suggestions in the report. John Micele - 2862 N. Hackett -- supports Cassandra Zumstein - 827-29 E. Brady St. - supports Whitney Gould - supports Scott Genke - applicant Commissioners liked the building as drafted and did not accept the staff recommendations.	Pass	4:0
