Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />April 16, 2012 <br />Page 5 of 9 <br /> <br />Fasick - I don't have a problem with committing to the $181,000 and we might be able to <br />go above that with the extra ordinary circumstances. <br />Koertje - I think no matter what we recommend council could change it. So whether or <br />not we limit the project or approve everything it is ultimately Council’s final say. I do <br />think you should proceed. <br />Stewart - I believe it is a hard sell to say the entire 4000 square foot addition is <br />preservation, but I do believe this is a worthy project. I would like to see this go forward. <br />Lewis - As a point of encouragement I would hate for you to give up on this based on <br />our wishy-washy nature. We could apply the design assistance to this project even <br />though you don't need it. It would give more credibility to the project and give us more <br />opportunity to discuss <br />Robinson - you might want to consider going to council for a discussion/direction item to <br />get a better understanding of which direction they might go. <br />Public Hearing - 1005 Lafarge <br />Robinson gave staff presentation, which included social history and photos. <br />Bob Qualls, owner. This house is in need of repair - windows, electrical, exterior repair, <br />bathroom. Our intent is to maintain the character of the home and would need funding <br />to assist. <br />Tucker Qualls gave some more details on what they would like to do. <br />Stewart - is the accessory structure part of the landmark request as well. <br />Qualls - no. <br />Public Comment <br />John Leary - I think this is a very sincere landmark application. <br />Commission Discussion and Action <br />Lewis - I have been wanting to see this type of architecture come before us for a while. <br />Stewart - this almost seems to be a style unique to Louisville. It almost has a colonial <br />revival front with a clipped gable. <br />Lewis - when I first saw this structure I thought it was more craftsman. I am really in <br />support of this application do to its unique architecture. <br />Fasick - is the return gable over the porch seen anywhere else on the structure. <br />Robinson - no. <br /> <br />
