HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Ms. Carlen Hatala said the commission asked the applicants to get pricing for wood windows, aluminum clad and restoration of the wood windows on the lower level. Cost estimates for various options were provided. In the past couple of days, the applicant has decided to go with aluminum clad for ease of maintenance. Staff recommends denial of the aluminum clad windows.
Jim Weir - MKB Architects - they have concerns with on-going maintenance costs for wood windows.
Father Michael Bertram - there are many ministries affected by this project and there are concerns relating to maintenance, security and energy efficiency.
This is not a precedent-setting decision, per Mr. Jarosz, for wood windows with an aluminum cladding. He asks that they come back to staff with the color that is picked.
Kenneth Howard - Business Manager - the windows are an added factor due to either lack of energy efficiency | Pass | 4:1 |

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| HELD IN COMMITTEE
Minutes note: Ms. Hatala said the church has been serving the community for many years and the windows in question are on the east side. There is a pair of windows that are being replaced on the east side and on the west side they want to replace the windows so they can remove the security grates on that side which had faced a play area. New windows would be more energy efficient and provide better internal visibility. The windows will be single-hung rather than the current double-hung and will be operable, which the current windows are not.
The Commission rarely approves clad windows, but there have been selective cases where they have been. This is an institutional building, similar to the former Concordia campus. They are proposing wood with aluminum on the outside.
Rich Merrifield - architect - looking for more durability and less maintenance. The energy audit recommended replacing the windows. Adding a storm window just adds an extra layer and obscures the windows in the same manner as the existing security grate. These are basement windows. It would be a lengthy process for 17 windows to remove and repair sashes.
Mr. Rafael removed his motion to grant.
Ms. Pieper Eisenbrown would like the applicant to look into restoring the current windows or replace them with wood. Ms. Peltz agreed as well. Held so the applicant could research these options.
