Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 8, 2020 <br />Page5of6 <br />vernacular house. This house is associated with the historic development of Louisville and the <br />Jefferson Place subdivision. The facade of the house has undergone minor changes over time <br />(window and siding replacement, changes to front porch posts) but retains significant <br />architectural integrity when viewed from the street. The house was owned by several Louisville <br />families since its construction. The orginal owners, the Bottinelli family, had ties to Louisville's <br />mining industry and immigrant heritage. The Bottinelli family owned the property through 1953. <br />The house was later owned by Paul Weissmann, a Colorado State Senator. This structure adds <br />character and value to Old Town and remains on its original lot. Staff recommends that the HPC <br />finds there is probable cause for landmarking 822 La Farge Avenue under the criteria in the <br />LMC, making the properties eligible for the cost of a historic structure assessment ($4000 <br />maximum). <br />Chair Haley stated that this seems like an obvious decision. <br />Klemme and Parris stated that they didn't see the need for a discussion — this application meets <br />the probable cause criteria. <br />Dunlap stated that this was bit of good news after the last hearing. <br />Haley reiterated this this project meets integrity, age, and significance criteria. <br />Klemme moved to approve the probable cause determinate. Parris seconded. Passed <br />unanimously by voice vote. <br />Referral: 931 Main Street PUD Amendment <br />Lisa Ritchie presented for the Planning Department. <br />This application is in front of the HPC for review because it is located in the historic Old Town <br />area. The property is located along Main Street near South Street. Pitter Patter is currently <br />located in this building. The existing structure was built in 1900. A PUD was approved for the <br />property in 2014 and amended in 2017 to allow for the construction of a two-story addition to the <br />rear. The current application seeks to reduce the addition from two stories to one. <br />Klemme clarified that this building is not currently landmarked. <br />Peter Stewart, Stewart Architecture, confirmed that they are not pursuing the landmark <br />incentives at this time but have approached the project in a way that would not preclude <br />landmarking in the future. <br />Dunlap stated that this is the first PUD review he's been a part of and he was unsure of the <br />reason for review. <br />Ritchie clarified that this is because of the close ties between development in downtown and the <br />historic preservation goals. <br />Parris stated that this was a great project, particularly the one story addition that isn't visible <br />from the street. <br />5 <br />
