Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 21, 2011 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br /> <br />Stewart stated the presumption was a landmark application would come before the <br />HPC. He continued to state according to the 1948 Assessors photo the windows, doors <br />and building outline are the most significant element of the building. If altered it would <br />significantly alter the architectural integrity of the structure. <br />Lewis asked if a building could be considered a landmark on social significance only. <br />McCartney answered in the affirmative, stating the Alley Cat Conservation Easement <br />was based purely on the social significance of the building, since the architectural <br />integrity had been impacted. <br />Koertje stated the following: <br /> <br /> The PUD development will alter the historical character of the neighborhood. <br /> <br /> The only positive historical aspect of the 2007 approval was the condition that <br />Joe’s Market, the building in question, was to be landmarked. <br /> <br /> The proposed modifications to the façade would change the character of the <br />structure. <br /> <br /> The building, as it currently stands, would be eligible for landmarking. <br /> <br /> I am in favor of placing the maximum stay on this structure so that alternatives <br />could be recommended through design assistance. <br /> <br /> If landmarked, this structure would be eligible for HPF funding. <br />Tofte asked when the windows were replaced. <br />Lehman stated in 2004. <br />Poppitz stated he agreed with Koertje’s comments. <br />Speier stated he agreed with his fellow commissioners. He added enlarging the <br />windows in 2004 made sense for business, but this change would be too aggressive for <br />this building a impact the historical integrity of the building. The building is too narrow <br />for two doors. <br />Lewis agreed, and added there is a stronger case for landmarking if left alone. <br />Stewart agreed with Speier. <br />Stewart asked for a motion. <br />Lewis made a motion to place the maximum stay – 6 months from application – based <br />on all comments provided by the HPC. <br />Poppitz seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously. <br /> <br />Poppitz volunteered to provide design assistance. <br />Discussion – Barker House letter of support <br /> <br />
