Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes August 20, 2012 Page 2of 10 Jean Morgan restated her interest in notifying those individuals who are interested in demolishing their house just in case someone is interested in relocating the structure. She also inquired how to extend the borders of our area of influence for which the HPF could be used, such as the Hecla-Casino Mine. She would like to see the building be relocated to Community Park. Stewart asked staff if a sign is required on a property which is about to be demo’d. Robinson stated it would only be posted if there was a public hearing. Stewart then commented on expanding the boundaries of the HPF. Koertje stated a request such as this would require a vote by the citizens to reopen the Ballot for amendment. John Leary stated there requires a 4 year time period for which a Ballot may be amended by Council. Pre-filing Conference–none Public Hearing –GrantRequest –1005 La Farge Avenue Robinson presented staff’s report for the grant request. He discussed the specifics being requested in the scope of work and how they represent the priority items listed in the structural assessment. Watson asked how the 7% contingency was established by staff. Robinson answered it was established because it was left over from the $20,000 they are permitted. Watson then asked what the largest grant ever received for a residential property. McCartney answered one of the first grants received was for a window replacement and restoration project. Stewart asked if this proposal is for a grant only or is this also for a certificate of appropriateness. McCartney stated it should be for both the grant and certificate of appropriateness. Robert Qualls stated the contractor chosen for this project was chosen after a series of interviews. Tucker Qualls stated he agreed with Stewart that the structural assessment did not have certain details he had wished, such as a structural review of the roof. He then gave details on the scope of work and how it reflects the building assessment. Phil Barlow stated he does have more detailed drawings if they are interested.
