HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the building recently sold and has a new owner. In the 1970s there were two separate entrances - one for the storefront and one for the upper level. In the 1980s there was only one entrance. The applicant is proposing adding a landing and turn the stairs 90 degrees and a hydraulic window in the center. The stair case is fine with staff, but Mr. Askin has concerns about the window. Staff approves the stairs with conditions, but would like the applicant to consider a different option from the hydraulics.
Scott Schmidt - architect - the window would project over the sidewalk, but higher than anyone walking. The hydraulics would be visible. The hope with the window is to have as much fresh air for the space as possible.
Others on Brady Street have expressed an interest in hydraulic windows; Mr. Askin has been able to talk some of them out of it and one was granted by the Board.
Ms. Peltz would like to see french doors rather than hydraulic windows.
The applicant will work with staff.
Grant the COA with the conditions listed and the window will be worked out with staff.
