He stated he would like to retain about 2/3's of the structure while adding a first and second floor addition, while retaining the general street presence and heights. He would also like to add a garage in the back. Watson asked if he was going to retain the original materials. Hunsacker said the windows and floor are original. He said there is vinyl siding over and a new asphalt roof. He was not sure if there was original siding underneath the vinyl siding. Stewart asked if they had spoken with staff about landmarking and if they were considering it. Hunsacker said he was unsure about the process. Stewart gave a background of the landmark process, including preservation bonuses and grant funding. Robinson gave details on the grant funding, including the building assessment. Hunsacker asked if you could pick and choose where the money is used. Robinson stated the building assessment creates a priority list for where the money can be used. Watson said even though the grant requires a matching, it is money you would need to send anyhow. He added the roof should try and keep the same form and shape. Hunsacker stated that is something they could consider. Stewart gave some ideas for stepping the addition further back to allow for the street facing character to stand out more. He also added in regards to the roof design.
