Planner Selvoski stated this is a request to landmark the property and for a preservation and restoration grant for the structure at 1200 Jefferson Avenue. She stated the property meets the age requirement as it was constructed circa 1900 and moved to Louisville in 1930. The property also meets both the significance and integrity criteria. She reviewed the repairs and rehabilitation work for the request. She noted a large expense for updating the foundation and crawlspace. The estimate cost of the work is $162,200 and the matching grant request is $61,600. The applicant is requesting more than the $40,000 limit due to the scope of the work and cost for the necessary foundation work. She noted the HPC has approved an Alteration Certificate for this structure and they recommend approval of both resolutions. Staff also recommends approval. Public Comments — None. Councilmember Dickinson noted that if the bulk of the cost is the foundation it is the best use of the money as it maintains the house for the long run. Mayor Stolzmann closed the public hearing.

Councilmember Dickinson moved to approve Resolution No. 57; Councilmember Brown seconded the motion. Roll Call Vote: Motion passed by unanimous roll call vote.
