Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 10, 2014 <br />Page 10 of 11 <br />Fasick commented on the roof pitch asking if they could be the same. She mentioned <br />the drawings show the existing and proposed structures do not have matching roof <br />pitches. <br />Watson agreed. <br />Fasick stated the north wall is blank and would stick out. She said she would like to see <br />windows. <br />Robinson stated the north wall is considered a fire wall, so windows are prohibited. <br />Fasick asked if the neighbors were opposed to the development. She said it appeared <br />the development will block the windows of the house to the north. <br />Fahey asked if the house to the south was retail. <br />Robinson stated it was an office. <br />Fasick said she is mainly concerned about the house to the north. <br />Robinson stated that was being used for residential, even though it is zoned <br />commercial. <br />Watson asked what standards we should use for the materials being used. He believes <br />this is a change in materials compared to what we currently have in downtown. <br />Fasick stated she was fine with them changing the materials, she is mainly concerned <br />about the roof pitch. <br />Watson said he is fine with alternative materials but there are too many varied materials <br />being used. <br />Fasick said she wasn’t concerned about the materials because they won’t be noticed. <br />She said the roof pitch will be noticed. She asked if the building could be notched in. <br />Watson said the property is fairly thin so additional setback is going to be difficult. <br />Items from Staff – Council Study Session <br />th <br />Robinson said the Council study session got moved to May 27 <br />. He said the loan <br />program got approved so we are working on an RFP for a loan service coordinator. He <br />added the job opening for the Planner I has closed and we have 146 applications. <br />Items from Commission Members – <br />Stewart said the CPI conference was great. He mentioned they met a person who was <br />related to the original contractor of the Grain Elevator. <br />Robinson stated he needs receipts for reimbursement for the CPI conference. <br />
