Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 12, 2015 <br />Page 4 of 11 <br /> <br />Valentine stated she agrees with the name Atkins House because of their involvement <br />in the community. <br />Watson stated the resolution does not appear to be as specific as stating the landmark <br />is for the entire property. He asked if Koertje wanted to make any changes to the <br />language. <br />Koertje stated he would. <br />Watson asked if Stewart would be open to a friendly amendment to include more <br />specific language. <br />Stewart stated he will wait until he hears the language. He states in general a landmark <br />usually includes everything within in the property lines. <br />Watson stated he is only concerned because the resolution states “structure” and not <br />“structures”. He recommended changing “on” to “and”. <br />Koertje agreed and stated we should remove the word “commercial”. <br />Stewart accepted the amendments. <br />Motion was approved 7 to 0. <br />Public Hearing – Demo Request – 1001 Lincoln <br />Trice presented the information provided in staff’s report. She presented the historical <br />background, including some photos. She believes the structure has architectural and <br />social integrity and believes the house has probable cause for a potential landmark. <br />The application was submitted on November 18, 2014 and staff recommends a 30 day <br />stay be placed on this application from the time of this meeting. <br />Stewart asked why staff chose a 30 day stay. <br />Trice stated it just gives enough time for staff and the board to speak with the applicant. <br />Mike Meyers, owner, spoke on behalf of his application. He has chosen Tom Ramsey <br />as his contractor. <br />Tom Ramsey spoke on behalf of the project. He spoke towards the rubble foundation of <br />the structure and stated the house is in very rough shape. He stated the floors are in <br />rough shape and stated the engineers report gives fair evidence of the poor condition. <br />He presented some of the work he has done in Old Town and in other parts of town <br />showing the detailing he does. <br />Koertje asked Ramsey what the cost to remediate the foundation.
