HPC may, by motion, approve or deny the finding of probable cause. Commission Questions of Staff. Chuck Thomas says this currently is a commercial structure. If this goes further in the process, it will qualify for funding under a commercial structure versus residential. Trice says based on what has been done previously, it will qualify as commercial. Applicant Presentation: Ken Teegardin, 558 W Willow Court, Louisville, CO 80027 I purchased the Wellness Center with the goal of making it a nice center and doing an expansion to it. I am trying to explore all possibilities such as doing a custom PUD at the same time as converting the structure to historic. It is still in the brainstorming phase. As far as a miner's house, it is a pretty nice looking one. There is value to save it. Commission Questions of Applicant: None. Public Comment in Favor: None. Public Comment Against: None. Closed Public Hearing and Discussion by Commission: Haley says I think this structure definitely meets our qualifications. It has lots of architectural integrity, good social history, and good context as far as Main Street in general. Chuck Thomas makes a motion to find probable cause to believe the structure at 921 Main Street may be eligible for landmarking under the criteria in Section 15.36.050 of the Louisville Municipal Code based on architectural integrity and social history, seconded by Cyndi Thomas.
