240057 04.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for a change in roof material from slate to another product at 2525 N. Grant Boulevard, in the Grant Boulevard Historic District, for Laura Dauenhauer.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the original slate roof has reached its lifespan and the owner would like to replace with asphalt on the house and garage. No roofing companies have suggested repair, only a complete replacement. The roof is about 100 years old on the house and the garage has a substantially similar roof. Mr. Askin doesn't believe the gutters are fixable on the garage. Slate is about $640,0000 while slate is $51,000 for a new roof. The staff report does contain some conditions. The applicant is proposing cedar shingle siding for the sides of the dormers. Staff would like to require slate on the dormer sides, as has been required at another site. Mr. Askin thinks the slate could be used from the roofs. Mr. Morales would approve the staff report with the exception of the dormer siding (striking condition 3).

240282 05.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement of front and side entry steps and stoops at 2705 E. Bradford Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Chelsea Cross.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said that the property is located on the corner and the applicant is proposing to re-do the front and side steps and railings. Both stairways have pretty significant deterioration, but with nice curved sidewalk and railings. The applicant is proposing straight steps and straight rails. Staff recommends denial and would recommend retaining the historic appearance of the stairs and salvaging the railings if possible, or a new design that matches the existing design. Chelsea Cross - it's a $15,000 difference to get a straight rail rather than a curved rail. It's also difficult to move things in and out due to the curved rails; they had to move furniture and large items through the windows. The stairs were done in 2011 and she calculates she would have to spend about $2,000 a year on concrete. Staff is fine with widening the steps as long as the general, triangle pyramid shape is retained. Both staff and owner approved wider steps as long as the triangle shape is retained. Staff still wants a curved design to the railings. Commissioners would also like the curved railing retained. Staff recommends denial of a straight railing. The owner would like a bottom rung and top rung and not a single spoke in each step. Staff is fine with that as long as it meets the building code. Stairs can be wider, as long as the shape is retained and staff can approve if the railing remains curved.

240284 06.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for back porch modifications at 2669 N. Terrace Ave., in the North Point North Historic District for Andrew and Kate Biebel.

Minutes note: Mr. Andrew Stern said the applicant wants to replace windows, door and siding of a previously enclosed back porch and a larger stoop/stair area. The back porch isn't visible from the right-of-way. They also want to close and in-fill a garage service door next to the porch. The windows would be wood and match the windows on the upper porch and in-fill will be of matching brick. Staff recommends approval with two conditions listed in the staff report. Kate Biebel - owner - is fine with wood siding (she won't use SmartSide). They want to enclose the service door to give them space to widen the stoop area. There is a second service door to the garage on the other side of the house. If they can't close this up, they'll have to adjust all their plans. The door really isn't visible to anyone. Approval but striking the recommendation to keep the service door. Can fill-in, but must retain the jack arch. Owner is fine retaining the jack arch and the wood cladding.

240290 07.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement windows and a storefront remodel at 532 - 534 N. Water Street, in the East Side Commercial Historic District, for Motiya and Hezron Lopez.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this is one of the oldest buildings in the city; it is from the 1840s. The storefront is not restorable to its original condition, but can make it more appropriate to the period. Nothing about the storefront is original - it's from 1950s or 1960s. The main change is to change the center door to allow access to the upper floors rather than the retail space and create a new entry for the retail space. For the upper levels, they wanted to do aluminum-clad windows, but now aren't going to do, but will do a 3-pane system in wood. Staff recommends approval with conditions listed in the staff report. Mr. Lopez - works maintenance for the building. The owner is satisfied with the staff recommendations. Approve and grant staff authority to approve work on the upper floors.
