Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />May 21, 2012 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br /> <br />Koertje stated the HPC needs to go through the criteria to see if a stay should be placed <br />on this one. <br />Fasick stated agreement. She added she didn’t think the integrity is in place for this <br />structure to be considered. There have been too many changes. <br />Koertje stated the removal of the windows bothered him the most. The door is definitely <br />not original. <br />La Grave stated he believes the form is there, but he didn’t feel like there was complete <br />picture without any drawings or plans. He added the people have already made up their <br />minds to demolish. He believed the safest course would be to place a conditional stay <br />to get a more complete story of what they want to do. <br />Fasick stated the applicants came forward in November, received information regarding <br />landmarking and now want to demo. It is obvious they don’t want to retain the structure. <br />She added the house did not appear to qualify for architectural integrity. <br />Koertje stated the stay won’t serve a purpose, but that is not one of our criteria to <br />consider. <br />La Grave added he feels like the HPC is doing a whole lot of speculation without the <br />applicant here. <br />Public Comment <br />Janice Hoffman stated this would be one of the only structures on the block to be <br />demo’d. Other structures on this block have been landmarked, so she believes this <br />adds to a potential district. <br />La Grave recommended a conditional stay of 90 days be placed on this structure so the <br />HPC could hear from the applicant on what they want to do. <br />Poppitz seconded the motion. <br />Name Vote <br />Mike Koertje No <br />Heather Lewis Absent <br />Jessica Fasick No <br />Florian Speier Abstain <br />Aquiles La Grave Yes <br /> <br />
