Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />17 August 2020 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />Klemme asked about the fireplace as well as window modifications. Johnson responded that the <br />window changes occurred at some point in the past but it's unclear when. Potentially when the <br />siding was replaced. The fireplace/chimney is constructed in a way that shows it wasn't original <br />to the house. <br />Dunlap stated that it was a great opportunity to save the structure. <br />Klemme state that it meets the criteria for landmarking. <br />Keller stated that he agrees and is excited about the possibility of the move. <br />Parris made a motion to recommend approval Landmarking for 1201 Lincoln Avenue and the <br />$5,000 Landmark Incentive grant. Klemme seconded. Passed unanimously by voice vote. <br />Haley stated that the proposed relocation will impact the integrity of the structure however it is a <br />better option than losing the structure completely. Moving structures is part of the history of <br />Louisville and meets the guidelines discussed by the Secretary of the Interior. <br />Parris stated that this is the last resort. The proposed relocation does keep the house in Old <br />Town and maintains its orientation. The story of this project is really powerful in the community <br />and the relocation is the best case scenario. It speaks to the power of our program. <br />Dunlap made a motion to approve the Alteration Certificate for 1201 Lincoln. Klemme seconded. <br />Passed unanimously by voice vote. <br />Dunlap asked if there had been any comments from City Council regarding Extraordinary <br />Circumstances grants that have gone through in recent months. Selvoski commented that City <br />Council was supportive of the grants and preservation projects they've seen. <br />Klemme stated that this is clearly an extraordinary circumstance and that we're extraordinarily <br />lucky that the project has come together the way it has. This is a moment to take advantage of <br />throughout the community. <br />Parris stated that she was in favor of this grant amount and that the costs seem to be in line with <br />other grants when you take into account the work that this project will entail. Dunlap and Keller <br />concurred. <br />Klemme made a motion to approve the Extraordinary Circumstances Grant in the amount of <br />$85,000 for 1201 Lincoln. Parris seconded. Passed unanimously by voice vote. <br />The Commission revisited the discussion regarding the naming of the house. Levi Sheppard <br />stated that they'd prefer to name it "Koci House from 1201 Lincoln Ave." to show that they <br />house was moved. All commissioners agreed with this name. <br />Haley expressed gratitude toward tonight's applicants and excitement at the project discussed. <br />HPC Subcommittee Updates <br />4 <br />
