Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes 16 August 2021 Page 7 of 8 Mundelein stated that his understanding of the preservation codes was that demolishing the back did not preclude involvement in preservation programs. He thought that they could talk to staff within the week and that process could be done even if they moved forward with demolition. Mazur stated he didn't think they needed to labor over what could be done and he was anxious to get going and was excited to see what the Commission could offer. Haley asked for the total length of the house. Mundelein estimated 24 feet. Zuccaro reviewed the criteria for a preservation bonus, which was the first 12 feet or 25%. That option offered no money and contained no covenants or agreements. He also reviewed the demolition criteria. Haley summarized that the Commission agreed that they wanted to place a stay, but wanted to shorten it from staff's recommendation. The Commission discussed the length of the stay, weighing staff workload and time passed. Burg made a motion to place a 45-day stay. Klemme seconded. Motion passed unanimously by roll call vote. ITEMS FROM STAFF Bauer stated that the Commission would continue to do zoom meetings through September. She reminded the commissioners that they were invited to sign up to be interviewed for the Old Town Overlay reevaluation process. Zuccaro described the Old Town Overlay reevaluation process. The City had hired consultants to study and update the Overlay, which included the landmarking and preservation bonuses in that code. UPDATES FROM COMMISSION MEMBERS Update from the Coloring Book List of Selected Landmarks Bauer presented the list of proposed landmarks for the coloring book Klemme noted that the subcommittee had put the Blue Parrot sign in the commercial structures list because it added some different elements to that section and it would be going up in the library soon. Burg stated that there were many good options for residential and they tried to represent different eras as well as the social and economic history of Louisville. Haley stated that the Empire sign could be put in place of the Blue Parrot and Commissioner Klemme responded that the words of the sign were not historical even though she preferred the look of that sign. Haley stated that the whole structure would be relevant for Empire but the Blue Parrot sign was probably more fun to color and was nice to include since it wasn't on the street anymore. A
