9/4/2018	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the Solatubes were installed without a COA. Ms. LaBudde provided additional information for the file at the table Three Solatubes are visible from the public right of way; the one on the rear slope of the roof is not. A clear skylight on the rear would not be practical as the other buildings are higher. The other three front Solatubes alter the roofline, which is prohibited by the design guidelines for the district. Susan LaBudde - 2581 N. Terrace Ave. - owner of the 1971 condo and didn't realize it was in an historic district. Only the apartment building to the west looks down on her property. She doesn't think they're a material change to the roofline and thinks they're comparable to roof vents and pipes. She has letters in support from all the surrounding neighbors. They are not visible from her sidewalk, but are from across the street. The house has big windows to let in light and nature and this is not a large house and was constructed in 1971. This is a mid-century, modern building, which there are no other ones in the district. Staff recommends approval of the one in the rear and denial of the other three. Keith Johnson - corner of Belleview, owner of Brighter Concepts and installs Solatubes. Approve consistent with staff recommendations.	Pass	5:0
