Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 19, 2012 <br />Page 7 of 12 <br /> <br />Lewis – I think we want to keep this structure standing up and I find it hard to understand why <br />we would not want to make sure the roof is structurally sound. <br />Stewart – According to the structural engineer this structural is at risk of collapsing if a natural <br />event, such as a large snow storm, were to occur. <br />Janice – I believe the engineer had stated a 40 MPH wind or 4 inches of snow could injure this <br />roof. <br />Lewis – I believe we should make a recommendation to Council and explain why this project <br />should go forward. If you look at the scope of this project the vast majority is the structural <br />component, so there isn’t much more to be done to reduce this cost. <br />Stewart – I agree. <br />McCartney – we will include in our staff report an analysis on how the HPC wants the full <br />amount to be carried forward. <br />La Grave – what is the total sum of the previous grants. <br />Stewart read from the staff report. It is about $14,919. <br />McCartney – we will double check our numbers before we carry it forward. <br />Lewis made a motion recommend approval of the grant amount, as presented, to stabilize the <br />roof because the structure is a landmarked residence. The request includes $12,800 plus a <br />20% contingency (as recommended by staff). <br />Fasick seconded the motion. <br />Stewart – the motion should include this is a life safety concern. <br />Lewis agreed. <br />Name Vote <br />Mike Koertje Yes <br />Heather Lewis Yes <br />Jessica Fasick Yes <br />Florian Speier Absent <br />Aquiles La Grave Abstain <br />Peter Stewart Yes <br />Steve Poppitz Absent <br />Motion passed: 4 to 0 <br />McCartney asked if the agenda could be modified to allow the applicant from 801 <br />Walnut Street to speak before the Comprehensive Plan – Visioning. <br />Stewart agreed. <br /> <br />
