Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />19 October 2020 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />that will need to be done. He noted that outdoor space was important right now. This addition <br />would really increase the potential for this retail space to be successful. <br />Andy Clark, owner of Moxie Bread Co., noted that the indoor space was tight as -is and creating <br />a less challenging workspace would help retain staff better and help customer concerns about <br />wait times in line and the customer seating area. He stated that he thought the house was <br />beautiful and that he wanted to protect the historic elements. <br />Haley asked about the different porch lines and scale between the original building and the <br />addition. <br />Hartronft explained that the addition incorporated additional circulation space and a stairway. He <br />also noted that the building was largely unchanged scale -wise. On the north third of the property <br />was the existing porch and in the middle was a connection. He also noted that there were two <br />prominent trees that would help obscure the addition. Overall, he did not think that the addition <br />would interact with the existing front porch. <br />Parris observed that the elevations made it look like the addition was really far out, but looking <br />at the northern elevation there was a significant distance from the sloped roof. She added that <br />as a customer and a person who lives in Louisville she thought it was great. As a commissioner, <br />she thought it was a sensitive design, with the most prominent part of it was a porch that would <br />not create crazy sight -line issues. She noted that it if were to come forward for landmarking in <br />the future the Commission would need to consider if you could see the original structure. <br />Clark stated that he had a decent idea of the landmarking process but the addition was the <br />priority right now. <br />Parris replied that she thought the plans, at first glance, seemed in -line with the landmarking <br />requirements for alterations. <br />Haley agreed that the addition was sensitive. <br />Clark stated that it was intentionally designed to be sensitive and they were working with Mr. <br />Hartronft to ensure that it was sensitive, as well. <br />Dunlap stated that the building was a treasure to the town and he thought this was a good <br />addition that expanded the business and that it was compatible with the town. <br />Keller stated that with the age of COVID he would be open to anything to keep the business <br />going and this did not seem like anything too drastic. <br />Parris moved to recommend approval of the application for the Moxie PUD. Dunlap seconded. <br />Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. <br />None. <br />HPC SUBCOMMITTEE UPDATES <br />ITEMS FROM STAFF <br />C: <br />
