Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />26 July 2021 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br />Erika Carlson, owner, stated that they were not aware of any foundation issues and described <br />the current state of the foundation. <br />Haley summarized the property's compliance with the criteria. <br />Burg agreed and observed that the property had been identified in previous preservation reports <br />for the Jefferson Place area. <br />Klemme stated that it was a good candidate. <br />Burg stated that the siding looked to be contemporary and she expressed interest in what they <br />would learn about what was beneath the siding, as well as other aspects of the house, from an <br />assessment. <br />Dunlap asked if it was proposed to be called the Bottinelli House. <br />Haley clarified that it was just a probable cause hearing, not a landmarking one, but that could <br />be one of the naming options if it were landmarked. <br />General support voiced for probable cause. <br />Klemme moved and Burg seconded a motion to find probable cause. Motion passed <br />unanimously by roll call vote. <br />728 Grant Avenue <br />Bauer stated that the structure met the age criteria and was an excellent example of the Dutch <br />Colonial Revival Style. She explained that the property had historical ties to Harry Van Mater <br />and that it maintained physical and architectural integrity. <br />Haley observed that this was a clear-cut situation, especially as all seven criteria were strongly <br />met. She noted the architectural style was a great find. <br />Commissioners Burg and Keller agreed. <br />Dunlap noted that the National Fuel Company had been the main coal company in Louisville <br />and the Van mater family had also owned the Mercantile. <br />Burg asked if the assessment would be reviewed by the Commission even if the owners <br />decided not to do anything with the house. <br />Haley replied that the City would get a copy of the assessment and the Commission could ask <br />for additional updates or information about the assessment. <br />Bauer added that part of the required review process was that staff would look over a draft of <br />the assessment before signing off on a final draft. The Commission would see the assessment <br />as part of any applications regarding the structure and staff was also updating the Commission <br />on assessments at regular meeting, starting tonight. <br />Dunlap asked if the assessment presentations from applicants were optional. <br />PA, <br />
