HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: RECESS: 3:45 P.M.
RECONVENE: 4:01 P.M.
Mr. Tim Askin said two proposed additions are being added to an existing garage, which is living space that serves as an air bnb. The lath house wil be used as garden space and has wood slats, but there is no meaningful enclosure. The slats defuse the light and wind and the property is used for gardening and for weddings. The main house is Italianate, very elaborate and has a large lot. It has become a destination for garden groups. The applicant is also proposing a connector space between the lath house and the carriage barn. Mr. Bialk said he bought the 3 city lots in 1985 and has been working on the property ever since. Lath houses function as shade houses and he'll use it as a focal point in the garden. The architect is Ryan Shortbridge, who also offered testimony. Staff got two new variations this morning, so the staff report is out of date. The buildings function as backdrops for the gardens and will be natural wood or stained. Mr. Askin thinks the lathe house is too flat and would like to see a recessed panel in the connector. There will also be a deck so someone can overlook the garden.
Ms. Peltz moved subject to staff approval of the details based on the latest set of drawings submitted at today's hearing, seconded by Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown.
