HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
| ADOPTED
Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the building will be repaired and restored and portions of the original cupola will be brought back. The non-original front canopy will be removed. The proposal includes a new 14,000 square foot restaurant and hall and the public spaces will be restored. A patio will be added to the front. A secondary entrance will add accessibility and is designed to mimic the main entrance. Mr. Askin said the review is strictly limited to the existing and proposed buildings, but they have no oversight over the landscaping or surrounding buildings. Staff has some concerns detailed in the staff report, but is fine with the deck patio, although it would be better if it were structurally independent. The rear of the site is in a flood plain, so knowing grading details is important to the Dept. of City Development. Staff grants conceptual approval, but would like the applicant to return once it is further along.
Rakesh Rehan - owner
Tom Stachowiak - architect - he would adopt all of Mr. Askin's recommendations
Mr. Jarosz believes that the state historic preservation office will need a clear differentiation between the existing building and the new addition. Staff is willing to defer to the tax credit people on the addition.
