City Council <br /> Meeting Minutes <br /> September 6, 2011 <br /> • Page 8 of 12 <br /> Principal Planner McCartney explained the request is to landmark an historical <br /> residential structure located at 1021 Jefferson Avenue, built in 1906 and part of the 1904 <br /> Capitol Hill Addition subdivision. Prior to 1971, five owners occupied the house: Anton <br /> Nordin and Andy Teague from 1906 to 1910; Rosa Stutheit from1910 to 1920; Carl Van <br /> .Arsdale from1920 to 1926; Sotteli Family from1926 to 1971. <br /> The wood frame house exhibits some Queen Anne Victorian detailing. The roof is <br /> hipped with a front gable. The front gable has wood shingle details (gingerbread) and <br /> the porch posts have corner spindle details. The structure has lap-board siding. There is <br /> an existing foundation. According to the applicant, the previous owners added a <br /> bedroom on to the rear of the structure along with a 2-car garage off the alley 25 years <br /> ago. The additions are not visible from the street. <br /> The justification for landmarking this property includes: 1) An excellent example of a <br /> modest Queen Anne Victorian house. 2) The social history of the house is fairly strong, <br /> with direct relationship to those who were prominent in the early development of <br /> Louisville. Staff suggests the house be named for the Sotteli Family who owned the <br /> house for more than 50-years. <br /> • APPLICATION PRESENTATION <br /> Homeowners Deborah Kulcsar and David Dart thanked the Council for landmarking <br /> their property. <br /> COUNCIL COMMENT <br /> It was noted the deed to the property was not in the Sotteli name because the family <br /> changed the spelling of their name. <br /> Mayor Sisk requested public comment and hearing none, closed the public hearing. <br /> MOTION: Councilor Muckle moved to approve Resolution No. 58, Series 2011, <br /> seconded by Councilor Clabots. Roll call vote was taken. The motion passed by a <br /> vote of 7-0. <br /> DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION —THE MCCASLIN PEDESTRIAN CROSSING AT <br /> WASHINGTON AVENUE <br /> Mayor Sisk announced the McCaslin pedestrian crossing at Washington has not been <br /> budgeted for 2011 and the Council is in the process of working on the City's 2012-2016 <br /> Capital Improvement Program budget.
