240870 04.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a comprehensive renovation at 802 W. Historic Mitchell Street, in the Mitchell Street Historic District, for Hunger Task Force.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the only major work by the architect was the building that is now the Grohmann museum (prior to the building becoming a museum) and this building isn't his best work. Hunger Task Force wishes to remodel the entire building including windows, excess entrances, glazing on the building, paint the building all black and re-do the planting bed. The interior will also be overhauled. They will not be distributing food from this location. Staff recommends approval with the condition that the paint used is certified by the manufacturer for use on exterior concrete. The exterior is raw concrete. Mr. Jarosz moves for approval with the caveat that staff approve the paint prior to use.

240922 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for garage demolition at 2857-2859 N. Sherman Blvd., in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District for Jesse and Henrietta Lee.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the garage is accessed off the alley and isn't readily visible from the right of way. The roof is in very poor shape and it is clad in asphalt siding, with the service door, fascia and soffit also being in poor shape. It is not a high-scale design; it was a pretty common design. It does date to the 1920s, the era of the house itself. There is a proposed garage that will be more or less in the same footprint. It meets 3 of the 6 criteria for demolition and staff recommends approval. Jesse Lee - owner - the new garage will be clapboard and have a hip roof. Hold, by Ms. Keating Kahn, seconded by Mr Morales so it can voted on following discussion of the proposed replacement garage. Prevailed. 7-0. Reconsider, by Mr. Jarosz. Seconded by Mr. Morales. Prevailed. 7-0.

240923 06.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a new garage at 2857-2859 N. Sherman Blvd., in the Sherman Boulevard Historic District for Jesse and Henrietta Lee.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the new garage will be slightly larger, by being two feet longer into the yard (same width). It will have a hip roof and clad in LP SmartSide and LP trim as well. The service door is being moved from one side to the rear of the garage. The owner is requesting BOZA approval for a 3-foot setback, but staff would prefer a 4-foot setback would be a better fit. Staff would not support LP SmartSide, as requested by the owner. Staff is recommending approval with conditions detailed in the report. Jesse Lee - owner - he would like LP siding, rather than Hardy Plank. He would like to go two feet further back into the yard and retain the three-foot approach to match the historical context of the other garages. The service door will also be moved from one of the sides to the rear of the garage. The owner would still prefer a 3-foot setback as it wouldn't match the other garages on the alley. He is okay with the siding staff wants, if the contractor is okay with it. Mr. Jarosz moved for approval with the understanding of Hardy Board or wood (not LP). No motion on the setback.

240926 07.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for alterations to a previously approved design for an addition, at 1311 E. Brady Street, in the Brady Street Historic District, for Jo-Cat’s Inc.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said that the applicant had a design approved in 2017 that had two columns and the applicant would prefer not to build the second column. Staff has no recommendation. Mr. Lorenzo Cataldo - owner - the engineer put the post in the sub-wall and the work apparently wasn't done correctly. The pole is just a target for graffiti and posters. It is no longer needed for weight-bearing. Approve as built.

240935 08.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for modification and expansion of the back deck at 2723 E. Bradford Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Caitlin and Rick Long.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the applicants are doing kitchen work which would affect the rear facade (removal of three French doors, which would be replaced by windows and a Pella door). The area below the windows will be clad with cedar shingles to match the house and the other two sets of French doors will also be replaced with windows. The pergola will be removed, as well as the decking material. The structural elements of the deck will remain as long as they are structurally sound, otherwise they will be replaced in-kind and the deck will expand out three feet (stairs will remain in the same place). The roof will be expanded. Staff recommends approval with conditions detailed in the report (standard wood conditions and spindle spacing).
