5/4/20200 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION ADOPTED

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the both the developer and the building are known. Staff presented this at last month's meeting. Staff supports using the original skybridge cut-outs in the building and the third floor will be built out as a full floor with a skylight. Old World Third Street will have 21 new openings, including three doors. Overall, the changes are acceptable to staff with the caveat that the original window details are retained when converted to doors. The synthetic stucco, referred to by its trade name of EIFS, must have a perfect drainage system under it or the water will not be able to escape. Staff recommends metal windows. Staff recommends approval with conditions Mike Oates - there will be access to the light wells for cleaning. The light wells are being put in the center of the building and are not able to be seen from the street. The fiberglass windows and EIFS in the window wells have been approved by the National Parks Service. He will provide a letter to that effect to staff. Grant with staff conditions, except not condition #3 relating to the fiberglass windows, and contingent upon proof of Park Service approval.

4/6/20200 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION HELD IN COMMITTEE

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the application is to demolish utility connectors and install new windows in blank areas and where sky bridges were located. The locations and proportions are generally acceptable. There will also be possible new entrances on Vel Phillips and a third floor area built out. Rooftop mechanicals and screening will be removed. There will be 3 new entrances on the ground floor, which shouldn't have too much impact on the character. Staff recommends approval with conditions, including prohibiting fiberglass windows and adding metal clad windows to match the existing windows. Staff does not support the stucco as proposed as it was not originally stucco. He does not feel this product is a quality product. Staff also recommends returning to the commission for further work and to deny synthetic stucco and fiberglass stucco. Applicants present, but not able to be heard via the videomeeting.
