Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 13, 2012 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br /> <br />McCartney presented the packet information. <br />Koertje stated the staff report includes a garage – is that correct. <br />McCartney stated the inclusion of the garage was a typo. There is not a garage on the <br />property. <br />Speier asked when the half round window was put in on the south side of the house. <br />The applicant, John Griffin, stated it was constructed sometime in the 1980’s. He added the <br />only original windows are the two windows on the north, a double window on the front and the <br />window on the inside of the enclosed porch. <br />Speier stated the dormer on the north side of the building does not meet the roof ridge. <br />Griffin stated he was correct and it is a very tough space to get around. He added the interior <br />of the house has been remodeled as well. The front porch was enclosed recently but the <br />construction was intended to match the original design of the house. <br />Poppitz inquired with Griffin how he intended to use the grant money if the Landmarking was <br />approved. <br />Griffin stated he had not determined how to use the grant money. He added the foundation <br />does not need additional stabilization but it does need to be preserved. He also stated the <br />structure needs to be painted, reroofed and improvements made to the trim. <br />McCartney reviewed how the grant program works, including the steps needed to secure a <br />building assessment prior to any grant draw. <br />Stewart added the purpose of the building assessment is to improve the most important <br />elements of the structure. <br />Public Comments – none heard <br />Commission Comments <br />Speier stated the building has retained most of the architectural form and the owner has taken <br />care of key details. Socially the building has had a storied past. <br />Poppitz and Lewis agreed. <br />Fasick stated she believed the social history is strong because the building was once a rental <br />for miners. She added this could have been the first rental in the area. <br />Lewis and Koertje agreed. <br />Koertje stated the dormer does not appear to fit but he believes the architectural form and <br />footprint have been retained. He added most of the windows are in their original location. <br /> <br />
