Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes May 20, 2013 Page 2 of 9 Questions of Staff Watson asked if this owner has another demo request currently under review. Robinson answered in the affirmative. Koertje asked if they lived in Louisville. Robinson stated they lived in Montana. Fasick added they also own another house which has already been demolished and rebuilt. Stewart reminded the HPC multiple ownership was not a criteria of the review. Commission Comments Stewart stated he agrees with staff’s recommendation. Koertje applied the request to the criteria required for a stay. After reviewing the criteria he agreed with staff’s recommendation. La Grave stated he agreed with Koertje’s assessment and stated this structure appears to be eligible for a landmark. Stewart stated the property is large enough for the applicant to consider maintaining the structure and should consider building around it. La Grave stated the HPC can nominate this structure as a landmark. Watson reminded the HPC the owner has to agree to the landmark nomination. Stewart asked Robinson to explain the nomination process. Robinson stated there has never been a nomination and added it requires owners consent. Discussion ensued regarding the nomination process. La Grave stated a nomination process could involve the HPC explaining the benefits of the HPF and we could give them design alternatives. Robinson stated that can also be accomplished during the design assistance process. He added a nomination process is usually when you request a third party to come forward even if they haven’t considered demolition or landmarking. Public Comments
