201523 01.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for replacement of selected windows or mothball status at 2602 N. Grant Boulevard, in the Grant Boulevard Historic District, for Bunny Booker.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said this was held last month as Ms. Booker, the owner, had technical difficulties. She replaced two front windows over the winter; Home Depot did the work, but didn't contact the HPC office. The former windows were zinc windows and were in rough shape. The owner is willing to repair the side windows back to their original state. Ms. Bunny Booker - the windows that were removed were vinyl and she replaced them as they were in bad shape. She is willing to get wooden casement windows; she is willing to purchase wooden windows that somewhat match the original windows. She can't afford $25,000 to restore the four front windows. She spent $4,400 on the front windows with Home Depot. Staff recommends a second bid and referring it to staff. Staff supports zinc tape and would like to see a second bid.

201639 02.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for re-siding the Disch-Rising-Morgan Puddler’s Cottage, an interim individually designated property, in the proposed South Superior Street Puddlers’ Cottages Historic District, at 2530 S. Superior Street, for 2530 S. Superior, LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the area was designated temporary a couple of months ago. In 1990 the house had asbestos siding and vinyl siding was installed over that siding. The LLC is proposing to remove the detoriated vinyl siding and replacing with SmartSide, which is a sawdust and resin product. Staff supports this as the best hoped-for result and it will look better than present. Staff recommends approval as no other viable solution. They have no idea what is under the asbestos siding. Held so Mr. Askin can go out to the site.

201622 015.ResolutionResolution relating to the Certified Local Government review of the National Register of Historic Places nomination for the St. Catherine Residence for Young Women, at 1032 E. Knapp Street.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the St. Catherine Residence was created in 1966 by Sisters of Mercy taking over an apartment building and a large front porch was added. Residents did not need to be Catholic, but attending some type of religious services. This is the only woman-only hotel. This was nominated by Mercy Housing, which operates the building. They have covered 3 sides in corrugated metal siding, all windows are now vinyl, removed all the metal screens on the front windows and the private rooms have no historic integrity. Since 1971, the historic features have all been removed. Staff does not think this building is intact enough to justify the Commission's support. One of the aspects of integrity is "setting" and they demolished two Queen Anne buildings to put up the apartment building. Mr. Jarosz moved to not support this nomination, seconded by Ms. Peltz. No objections.
