231888 01.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a vinyl fence at 4369 N. 26th Street, in the Garden Homes Historic District, for Cinnaire Solutions & Garden Homes, LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said vinyl is cost-effective relative to the low property values in Garden Homes and easy graffiti removal. It would also be better visually for graffiti removal. The only other practical option is chain link; the current chain link fence is severely damaged. In this case, a vinyl fence may have some merit. The design is reasonably historically appropriate and he reluctantly recommends approval with different heights and styles on both sides. Cheryl Blue - Executive Director of the 30th Street Industrial Corridor - they are the developer on this property. There is a lot of illegal activity occurring on the corner and the house itself was a problem under the prior owner. Ms. Keating Kahn would like to see the cost difference between vinyl and cedar; she feels the vinyl fence will soon be destroyed. Mr. Jarosz moved to hold for one month to get estimates on cost difference.

231845 02.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a vinyl plank fence in the rear yard and a metal picket fence in the front yard at 2018 N. 2nd Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District, for Joshua & Lindsey Birch.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the applicant currently has a four-foot wood fence and they are proposing to add a black, picket fence on the front and side yards and a 6-foot mocha-colored fence on the rear yard, which would be vinyl. Staff recommends denial. Lindsey and Josh Birch - the front fence will be tan and the vinyl material will match the house trim. They want the privacy fence due to safety concerns and there are two vacant houses that are leading to crime issues. There is also a close chain link fence that is run-down. Cedar fences are cheaper and vinyl is more expensive and has less upkeep. They have had issues with graffiti. Their house was built in 2007. They would have aesthetic trim caps that match the Queen Anne style of the house and the privacy, vinyl fence would not face the public area at all.

231877 03.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for partial demolition of a parapet wall at 2479 N. Sherman Boulevard, in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District, for Greater Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the church requests to shorten a decorative parapet on an addition. The main church was built in 1917 and the addition at the rear was built by CG Schmidt in 1954 and is fairly minimal and inconsequential. The addition is a secondary piece to the overall church; this congregation cannot afford the full restoration at this time. Staff recommends re-build four courses above what they are proposing, but the triangle detail can be removed. Pastor Kenneth Cutler - the cost difference to flatten it out versus build it back with a peak is about $7,000. They are willing to build it up four courses, but would like the flat roof. He will check with CG Schmidt to see about their doing the work. Approve with conditions detailed in the staff report.

231931 04.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for concrete paths and a replacement alley staircase at 1830 N. 2nd Street, in the Brewers Hill Historic District, for Daniel & Margaret Olson.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the stairs down to the alley need immediate replacement. They are also seeking to add a storage area for general storage and garbage/recycling carts, add new stairs and do repairs on the foundation while it it exposed. Staff recommends approval with conditions detailed in the staff report. Dan Olson - 1830 N. 2nd St. - the foundation of the barn, which was built in 1887, shows there were problems in the past. Currently water runs down the stairs onto the foundation and having the storage space permits restoring and maintaining the foundation. The railings shown were just a placeholder and he will work with HPC and DNS staff on appropriate railings. Approve with conditions.

231994 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for renovations to an existing garage at 2569 N. Wahl Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Alexander and Lauren Lasry.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said a garage was built in the 1920s and was removed; the current garage was built in 1961 and is pretty diminutive compared to the house. The footprint will remain the same, with the driveway being expanded slightly. The garage isn't super visible from the right of way. The garage will be covered with a thin brick to match the brick of the house and build up the parapet to match the house and add carriage doors. Windows will be added, as well as a personal door. Staff recommends approval with conditions. Tyler Blake - architect

231999 06.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for storefront alterations and signage at 1027 E. Brady Street, in the Brady Street Historic District, for Anzala Group LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the building is from about 1885 and the remodel is relatively minor as is the signage, but to re-skin and re-purpose the side wing. Not a lot of permit history; the side wing went up between 1910 and 1951 and was originally a garage. They would like to convert it to a service window for a new coffee shop. They would like to replace non-historic doors; can tell there hasn't been much investment in the property since the 1980s and they aren't replacing anything that's original to the building. Staff recommends approval as submitted, pending DNS review of the signage. Keith Barnes - architect - he has nothing to add. Approve with conditions.
