Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 24th, 2020 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />Klemme stated that the HSA allows the homeowner to dig into the property and learn <br />more about it and determine what would need to be done by a future alteration <br />certificate. <br />Andy Johnson, DAJ Design, discussed the state of the property and possible intent of <br />the homeowner. Andy discussed possible changes that occurred to the property over <br />time and what may be discovered during the HSA process. <br />Klemme stated that, in looking at the photos, it appears that the historic roofline is still <br />intact behind the front addition. <br />Parris stated that it looks like there was historically a side entrance to the house. <br />Parris stated that she thinks this is an interesting request but one with no downsides to <br />the HSA. Even if it cannot ultimately be landmarked in its current form, the structural <br />assessment allows us to gather additional information about it. <br />Haley agreed and stated that she has no issues moving forward with approval of the <br />HSA. <br />Dunlap stated that we may have additional discussion if this comes back to us with a <br />landmark request since it is a unique case but the HSA is a great first step. <br />Haley noted that the context on this street has been lost in many cases and anything we <br />can do to preserve the remaining context would be a good thing. <br />Keller agreed and stated that he has a particular affinity for houses on this street. <br />Klemme made a motion to approve the probable cause finding for 541 Jefferson <br />Avenue. Parris seconded the motion. Motion approved unanimously by voice vote. <br />ITEMS FROM STAFF. <br />Alteration Certificate & Demolition Updates <br />There were no alteration certificate updates. A subcommittee referred a demolition <br />review for 1201 Lincoln to the June HPC meeting. <br />Upcoming Schedule <br />May (Historic Preservation Month) <br />18th — Historic Preservation Commission, Virtual, 6:30 pm <br />June <br />15th — Historic Preservation Commission, Virtual or Council Chambers, 6:30 pm <br />July <br />19t" — Historic Preservation Commission, Virtual or Council Chambers, 6:30 pm <br />
