City Council Meeting Minutes June 2, 2020 Page 5 of 13 and physical integrity criteria in the code and staff recommends approval. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) also recommends approval and has approved an alteration certificate for an addition on the property. Public Comments - None Councilmember Brown asked how an addition can be approved on a landmarked property. Selvoski stated the preservation program allows for additions that do not take away from the historic integrity on the original structure. Additions are encouraged to be on the rear of a property and involve the least amount of removal of historic materials. The goal is to allow for additions to fit modern life but also keep the historic fabric of the building. Councilmember Lipton moved to approve the resolution; seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Maloney. Mayor Stolzmann closed the public hearing. Roll Call Vote: Resolution passed by unanimous roll call vote. 833 JEFFERSON AVENUE LANDMARK AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION GRANT RESOLUTION NO. 40, SERIES 2020 — A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING THE LA SALLE HOUSE LOCATED AT 833 JEFFERSON AVENUE A HISTORIC LANDMARK RESOLUTION NO. 41, SERIES 2020 — A RESOLUTION APPROVING A PRESERVATION AND RESTORATION GRANT FOR WORK ON THE LA SALLE HOUSE LOCATED AT 833 JEFFERSON AVENUE Mayor Stolzmann opened the public hearing.
