Commission Question Koertje asks does the ap+ ` ton encompa the outbuilding, and would our finding in the structural assessment encompass it too? Trice says it would be good to include it. You can clarify that in your motion. Applicant Presentation: Heather McCullough, 1124 Main Street, Louisville, CO I have owned this house for about 10 years, and I lived in it the first year or two. I then rented it, but I am back living in it. The summer cook house is the outbuilding with a chimney, and was used in the summer before the porch was made into the kitchen in the main house. I recently changed this house to what it was in the past. It had a structure that was a sunroom area, but it was breaking down. I wanted to restore it to what it looked like. I am worried about the foundation so I am interested in making this a landmark. Commission Questions of Applicant: Haley asks if she is interested in using the HSA for the outbuildings as well, to get an idea of their condition. McCullough says yes, but I'm not too worried about those. There is the main building but also the old outhouses.
