Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes May 20, 2019 Page 3 of 4 impact the original structure. The additions off the back, while technically historic, maintain less integrity than the front portion of the structure. Staff finds that the structure exemplifies architectural and social significance and maintains physical integrity. Staff recommends approving a grant in the amount equal to what City Council approves tomorrow night for Historic Preservation Assessment grants since the Historic Preservation Fund is currently undergoing changes. Request for conflicts of interest. None disclosed. Dunlap asked about the fact that the property was for sale. Selvoski replied that the applicant has the structure under contract and the owner has signed off on the application, as well. Dunlap asked if the south side of the structure would be preserved. Applicant Michael Kalicak, Principal at Novy Partners, 24055 High Meadow Drive in Golden, stated that both street -facing facades would be preserved in order to be landmarked. He was still figuring out if the cinderblock additions would stay or go. Ulm stated that this was his number one project to try to get landmarked and he was happy with the application. Parris noted that it was a visible landmark that had not been in great shape so she was excited the applicant was bringing it forward. Dickinson stated that he had been through the property a few times. It was one of the properties that was going to take a lot of personal investment and he hoped that this would be an opportunity for a partnership between the owners and the City to preserve cool old buildings like this one and make them usable. Kalicak explained that the intent was to preserve the front structure and potentially add on living space in the rear to convert it to a single-family living space. Ulm moved to find probable cause for 701 Grant and to use the grant amount for the Historic Structure Assessment approved by City Council. Dickinson seconded. Roll call. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. ITEMS FROM STAFF Alteration Certificate/Demolition Review Updates Staff and a subcommittee of the Commission granted an alteration certificate for 1116 LaFarge based on the findings that the roofing materials are a reasonably good match to the current materials and will not alter the general appearance of the project and that replacing the roof will help to preserve the landmark.
