City Council Meeting Minutes September 20,2005 Page 9 of 15 together. Community Facilitator Muth explained the Commissioner felt they should be landmarked separately as the Jordinelli house was moved to the site. MOTION: Council member Brown moved for approval of Resolution No. 40, Series 2005, seconded by Council member Clabots. All in favor. RESOLUTION No. 41, SERIES 2005 - A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE TOMEO HOUSE AN HISTORIC LANDMARK - public hearing (advertised Daily Camera 7/23/05) Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Community Facilitator Muth reported the application is for the Tomeo House, built in the early 1900s, and used as a miner's cottage for approximately 75 years. The Tomeo family lived in the house for the majority of that time and later rented the cottage to the Ross Family. The City of Louisville purchased the property in the 1980s and the Louisville Historical Commission has used the site as the Louisville Historical Museum since that time. The house has had no changes made since its construction in the early twentieth century. The west elevation of the wood-frame one-story building may be an early addition; if so it predates 1950. The house is interpreted as a Miner's Cottage of the early twentieth century. The building meets the age criteria as it was built circa 1908. The Commission determined that the Tomeo House meets the criteria set forth in section 15.36.050 as follows: Architectural Criteria; Social Criteria; and Physical Integrity. The Commission determined the building in its entirety should be land marked as an individual structure. Mayor Sisk opened the public hearing and requested public comment. There were no comments.
