Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2016 Page 16 of 19 Cyndi Thomas Yes Chuck Thomas Yes Motion passed/failed: Pass Motion passes 5-0. GRANT Chuck Thomas says this is a unique structure. It is not a residential structure that we would normally review in that the number of stories is typically 1.5 stories. Originally, this was used as a commercial structure on Main Street. I am suggesting that we consider this a commercial structure or hybrid and recommend a grant of $80,080 with a match. Trice says the HPC is making a recommendation to CC. We would need to reconfigure the numbers to take out the permits. You can rephrase the resolution to be an amount minus the permits or amend it. Chuck Thomas says the clarification is that it is subject to the standard procedures which include removal of the permits, subject to further revisions as necessary to make it comply as a commercial structure. Haley says will the grant be just for the foundation and window? Flexible Grants Limited to a maximum grant amount of $5,000 "Sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems" "restoration of a property to a specific significant point in its history" o Appurtenances - $4,870 o Doors and windows - $5,000 (only includes new windows and doors) o Mechanical systems - $12,000 o Electrical systems - $4,720 TOTAL - $26,590 (max $5,000) Focused Grants "Sustaining the existing form, integrity, and material of a historic property" Limited to a total of $15,000 with a match of $15,000 o Site grading and drainage —$3,000 o Foundation — $64,000 o Structural systems — $18,220 o Exterior walls — $12,960 o Envelope —Roofing - $4,200 o Envelope — Insulation - $5,403 o Doors and Windows - $7,500 (only includes repair of existing) TOTAL - $115,283 (max $15,000) Trice says the above shows grants for a typical residential property with the flexible grant limited to $5,000 and the focused grant limited to $15,000 with the match. The permits are $4,100 so that can be subtracted to $156,000, and 50% is $78,000. Once you get to Section 7(b) of Resolution 02, Series 2016, if it is eligible for funding, you don't have the $5,000 and $15,000 limits, as long as it meets the 100% match and the extraordinary circumstances. Cyndi Thomas says the extraordinary circumstances are the foundation because they will have to hoist this house to save it, and that historically, it was commercial. Chuck Thomas says they are restoring the original openings. It is extraordinary due to the size of the property. If our rationale is including it under commercial, the flexible grant number and the focused grant number do not apply.
