Planning Commission Meeting Minutes December 14, 2017 Page 5 of 10 Ritchie added that Resolution 20 required that the City undergo a market study to come up with a value. Motion made by Fahey to approve Resolutions 1 and 2, Series 2018, seconded by Dickinson. Roll call vote. Motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION Trice updated the Commission on recent events. Miners' Cabins The miners' cabins were moved and are currently at the City Services Building. One of the floors was dislodged during the crane move, but it will eventually be restored. Hecla Casino The Hecla Casino was demolished. Trice and Chair Haley documented what was left of the building in September. Stories in Places (Historic Context) The Residential Historic Context is complete and ready for print. There will be three historic contexts in total. Once they are all completed, staff will present to the Commission on the findings. Center for the Arts The middle door on the Center for the Arts building was originally a window. Commissioner Ulm and Commissioner Dickinson are on the subcommittee. After visiting the site, they recommended that the door be restored as a window. Dickinson updated the Commission on his home at 721 Grant, which used to be a hospital, a post office, and a printing press at various stages of its life. The structure has no foundation and it was leaning to one corner. The leaning has been corrected and a foundation will be poured. Last Friday the construction team moved the house back 4 feet to allow for stairs to get to the new front porch. In the next few days the crew will raise it again for excavation. They are currently in the preservation stage and the restoration stage will follow.
