Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes August 17, 2015 Page 3 of 11 Stewart stated he was supportive of the probable cause due to original windows, roof form, etc. He said the siding modification is unfortunate, but the windows and roof form are in good shape. He asked staff about the reasoning why $6,000 can be awarded for a previously residential property. Trice stated we have been awarding assessment grants based on zoning, similar to the Steinbaugh house. Stewart asked what the difference was between the residential and commercial assessment, especially since the structure was a residential structure in 1990. He was curious if the commission could modify the amount granted. Trice stated she was not sure if the commission could do that. Stewart asked if staff could bring back an analysis as to how the assessment is being awarded. Trice stated we can bring that back to another meeting. Watson stated Stewarts questions were somewhat of a legal issue and would like to have the City Attorney weigh in on these questions. Watson made a motion to approve the probable cause. Fahey seconded the motion. Motion approved by roll call 5 to 0. The commission took a brief recess.
