HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said they want to tear the garage down, which is no particular architectural importance. The building was built in two parts and there were 2 separate owners. This is one of remaining commercial buildings in the city of 1859 (the north half) and the south half is of similar age. The north store front was preserved for many years, but there are no photos of the south storefront, but the columns mirror each other. The stair tower will be a light color to match the details around the windows in block style. Staff would like to see the materials in person prior to approval. Wood windows have been required for other buildings on this block. For the original windows, staff recommends they stay as wood, but the new windows can be metal. Staff is okay with the tower materials, but would like to see them. Okay demolition of garage, construction of the stair tower (holding the materials for next cycle) and deny replacement of aluminum windows.
Dan Beyer - architect - wants to do aluminum windows as they are cheaper than wood and look good. The windows are simple and rectangular. The National Park Service doesn't object to the aluminum windows. He will do the work with wood windows.
Grant removal of garage and fire escape; require wood windows and staff approval of tower materials; balcony railings to be solid metal, not wire.
