221372 01.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for windows installed by a prior owner at 2652 N. Grant Boulevard, in the Grant Boulevard Historic District for Veronica and Antonio Nolden.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is one of the two cases used as a model of the Certificate of Repose. It is well-established in the record that Ms. Nolden is not responsible for the vinyl windows nor is the prior owner and they have been in place well over 10 years. Mr. Askin said the windows meet all the criteria for a Certificate of Repose.

230459 03.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement siding at 2536 N. Grant Boulevard, in the Grant Boulevard Historic District for Stephan Thomas.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the house on Grant Blvd. had received a COA for a roof replacement and in the course of the roof replacement, the subcontractor removed the asbestos siding on the 2nd story and the 2nd story siding in the rear. There were shingles in the second story as of 1935. The applicant is proposing either a fiber cement shingle or a plastic vinyl shingle. Staff recommends denial. The original owner, per Mr. Stern, had shingles installed. Stephan Thomas - owner - he had contacted HPC staff, but never received a response until they finally managed to connect a week or two prior to work beginning. Josh - JM Remodeling -- general contractor - it will be a high-tiered product that will be put on, if approved. The shingles that HPC staff is requiring have high-maintenance costs. Ald. Bauman agrees with the staff's position. Deny and require a cedar shake siding.

   19. Discussion and possible vote on a bylaws change relating to rear yards.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said they are seeing a lot of applications going into this area and they are proposing to de-regulate most mid-block back yards for landscaping features, including patios (not including fences, pools, gazebos or any other new structures). This is an attempt to reduce work on both staff and the Commission. Ms. Peltz moved to amend the bylaws to permit this change, seconded by Mr. Hans Robinson. There were no objections.

   20. Discussion relating to sample COA application and walk-through guide.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin used a simple fence as the sample. He started a flow chart for the process, but he got de-railed by a request to provide a sheet explaining what a "financial hardship" appeal entails. That form will probably be before the Commission next month. Commissioners are also free to suggest any changes; this will be loaded up onto the web site in a few days.
