Dickinson moved to approve Resolution 8, Series 2018 a grant for 1021 Main Street in the amount of $42,929, which is a 50% match of the property owner's expenditure to be used on the items presented at this meeting. Those expenses should be spent on the items listed as the reason we are giving extraordinary circumstances is due to the amount of work that has to be done to preserve the existing materials instead of replacing them.

Motion passed unanimously. 1028 Rex Street — The applicant requests to demolish the existing residential structure at 1028 Rex Street. A subcommittee recommended the Commission hear this request because they found probable cause to believe that the property may be eligible for designation as a landmark. • Applicant and Representative: Justin Wood 2771 Whitetail Court Selvoski informed the Commission that the demolition request went before an HPC subcommittee, which referred it to the full Commission for the purposes of producing a full social history. The structure was built by French immigrant August Warembourg, Jr. in 1909. The Caranci family, who were active in the Louisville community, owned the property from 1923-2018. The structure is in the vernacular style and has maintained its form and location in a historically French neighborhood. Changes to the structures include a siding replacement after 1948, a shed built after 1948, a roof replacement at some point, and a porch enclosure after 1948.
