Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 18, 2011 <br />Page 2 of 6 <br /> <br />stated Lehman has agreed to make all access improvements on the inside of the <br />building so as not to modify the front façade. <br />Koertje asked if there was a timeline established for the interior modifications. <br />Poppitz stated not yet. <br />Update – Demo Request – Rod and Gun Club, 1101 South Street <br />Speier stated he and Stewart had met with Rick Brew regarding this project. He stated <br />it is a tough design assistance because there isn’t any planned unit development (PUD) <br />concept yet to determine a decent reuse. <br />Speier added Brew has stated he would prefer to relocate the structure but Speier and <br />Stewart did not think believe that was a preferred option. <br />Speier stated he and Stewart will continue to work with Brew to research costs for <br />relocation versus rehabilitation. <br />Stewart added he and Speier also discussed with Brew the added incentives from the <br />state for preserving the structure. <br />Brew spoke regarding a conversation he had with a professional building mover. The <br />cost would be between $20,000 and $40,000. <br />Poppitz asked Brew if they had chosen a design firm yet. <br />Brew stated they only had engineers at this point. They didn’t have a deadline for a <br />submittal either. <br />Brew recommended the Commission should consider a historic park for the relocation <br />of buildings such as this. <br />Poppitz stated he was currently working on researching where an historic park could be <br />located in the City of Louisville. <br />Koertje stated an historic park is a last resort – not a preferred alternative to preserving <br />the structure. <br />Speier stated he didn’t see a problem with modifying the structure. He would prefer <br />seeing a modification rather than a relocation. <br />Stewart stated he appreciated Brew’s openness on the project and hopes it continues <br />throughout the project. <br />Koertje added he could help educate Brew on potential tax credits as well. <br />Brew appreciated the assistance. <br />Update/Discussion/Action – Demolition Ordinance <br /> <br />
