201685 01.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for mothball status at 322 W. State Street, in the Old World Third Street Historic District, for Jake Dehne.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the building next door was torn down and the windows on the west elevation had been changed. We are here to extend this for a minimum of one month. Jake Dehne - 322 W. State St. - owner - just put these windows in. All the windows were aluminum when he purchased the building. He is working with the tenant on the awning. Eric Coulson - Director of Sales at Weather Tight - thought nothing was being changed besides a more efficient glass being put in. It was for a clean look all done with a matching, earth-tone color and bar put in every window so it would look like a double-hung from the exterior. Grant a 30-day extension.

210779 02.ResolutionSubstitute resolution granting the appeal of the Certificate of Appropriateness for chimney reconstruction and dormer re-cladding at 2640 N. Lake Drive, in North Point North Historic District, for Russell and Dorothy Case.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said no COA was ever applied for for work being completed or in progress. The chimney work is unacceptable due to the thick joints and the flashing Russell Case - owner - the state never mentioned about the need to get a COA. Chris Weaver - the chimney will be re-done; he has gotten COAs in the past. The shingling job is acceptable and the flashing will be re-done. The applicant should do no work on the house until the next hearing in case the chimney needs to be replaced. Mr. Jarosz moved to hold for one month. Seconded by Ms. Peltz.

210849 04.ResolutionResolution relating to a Certificate of Appropriateness for storefront and entry stair alterations at 1216 E. Brady Street, in the Brady Street Historic District, for Nashville North, LLC.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the building recently sold and has a new owner. In the 1970s there were two separate entrances - one for the storefront and one for the upper level. In the 1980s there was only one entrance. The applicant is proposing adding a landing and turn the stairs 90 degrees and a hydraulic window in the center. The stair case is fine with staff, but Mr. Askin has concerns about the window. Staff approves the stairs with conditions, but would like the applicant to consider a different option from the hydraulics. Scott Schmidt - architect - the window would project over the sidewalk, but higher than anyone walking. The hydraulics would be visible. The hope with the window is to have as much fresh air for the space as possible. Others on Brady Street have expressed an interest in hydraulic windows; Mr. Askin has been able to talk some of them out of it and one was granted by the Board. Ms. Peltz would like to see french doors rather than hydraulic windows. The applicant will work with staff. Grant the COA with the conditions listed and the window will be worked out with staff.

Mr. Askin has some minor concerns with the window brand - it will be painted wood, non-clad, section drawings are reasonable and custom fitted to the arch. The only concern is that they come with a half-screen in fiberglass mesh Mr. Askin would like either a lighter color screen or a full screen.

Minutes note: Mr. Tim Askin said the current sun room is causing massive leakage into the house below. They are using the same contractor used by another Grant Blvd. homeowner.

Hubbard Riley - owner - storms damaged the existing sun room and it has to be removed. He is amenable to copying the existing basis. He would like time to come up with a final design. Approve with final approval by staff.
