Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Nlinutes <br />January 13, 2014 <br />Page 6 of 11 <br />Fahey stated if you keep the structure you can receive assistance from the HPF and receive <br />incentives for size as well. <br />McKinley stated the monetary assistance would be interesting but the incentives would not. <br />Echohawk asked if there were estimates for making the other improvements on this house. <br />McKinley stated the improvements would be in excess of $10,000. <br />Public Comments <br />Ryan Hanneman, neighbor at 1324 Lincoln, stated he was excited to learn the house was <br />going to be torn down and something new would be put in its place. He does not believe there <br />is much integrity in this section of our neighborhood. <br />Stewart asked if the applicant had been informed of the HPF incentives. <br />McKinley answered in the affirmative. <br />Stewart stated the architectural integrity is still in great shape and a post war structure is <br />unique for this area. <br />Haley asked when the project would begin. <br />McKinley stated he would be starting immediately. <br />La Grave stated he is trying to figure out if you are interested in learning more about the HPF <br />to save the structure or are you set against retaining the structure due to lofty costs. Which is <br />it. <br />McKinley stated his first preference is to move forward with the demolition. However if it is not <br />deemed acceptable, then he would be interested in the funding. <br />Fasick asked who are the architects on the board to provide design assistance. <br />Stewart stated himself and Watson are the architects on board. <br />Haley stated she would be interested in studying what the options would be if the structure <br />were retained and an addition were placed behind it. <br />La Grave stated an addition might envelope the existing structure too much to where it <br />wouldn't be worth maintaining. <br />Stewart agreed with La Grave's comments, but stated they wouldn't know until a design was <br />completed. <br />Watson asked if the applicant's design professional ever recommended integrating the existing <br />structure within the final design. <br />
