5/3/2021	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	HELD IN COMMITTEE; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this was held last month as Ms. Booker, the owner, had technical difficulties. She replaced two front windows over the winter; Home Depot did the work, but didn't contact the HPC office. The former windows were zinc windows and were in rough shape. The owner is willing to repair the side windows back to their original state. Ms. Bunny Booker - the windows that were removed were vinyl and she replaced them as they were in bad shape. She is willing to get wooden casement windows; she is willing to purchase wooden windows that somewhat match the original windows. She can't afford $25,000 to restore the four front windows. She spent $4,400 on the front windows with Home Depot. Staff recommends a second bid and referring it to staff. Staff supports zinc tape and would like to see a second bid.	Pass	6:0
4/12/2021	0	HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION	HELD IN COMMITTEE; Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said four windows were replaced due to damage. They were replaced with vinyl windows. The work was done by Home Depot, which usually does contact the city. The owner does still have the windows, which can probably be repaired, per Mr. Askin. She would like time to save up money to repair the windows. Staff recommends 6-month mothball. Ms. Booker the owner present, but couldn't be heard due to technical difficulties.	Pass	6:0
