Seeing none she opened the public hearing. Planner Selvoski stated this is a request to landmark 816 Main Street and for a Preservation and Restoration Grant for work on the historic structure. Selvoski noted the resolution in the packet had been updated to specifically note the neon sign is included in the landmark designation. She reviewed the criteria for the landmarking noting the building meets the age criteria; as well as the criteria for architectural, social, and geographic significance. In addition, the physical integrity from the 1955 modifications has been retained. She reviewed the grant request and how the funds will be used for preservation of the building, rehabilitation of the interior to bring the building up to current code, and restoration work on the sign. The grant requests equal $113,687.50; $50,000 is a landmark incentive grant which is unmatched, $63,687.25 matching grant. She noted the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF) currently has a $2.4M balance. Staff recommends approval of both the landmark and the grant.
