Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />22 February 2021 <br />Page 5 of 10 <br />Dunlap asked if there was a problem with the lot coverage and if it still met the City guidelines. <br />Zuccaro replied that they had done a Zoning Standards review and the proposal met FAR and <br />lot coverage standards with the landmark bonus. <br />Regarding the grant, Haley said that the Commission knew that this would be an expensive <br />project and the windows and other pieces of the project made this cost more than the typical <br />residential property. <br />Barsch shared that underneath the wraparound decks there was basement space with <br />foundations that needed to be filled in. He added that the existing floor also needed basement <br />work and commented that, overall, there was a lot of foundation work to be done. <br />Dunlap asked about the floor of the sanctuary. <br />Barsch responded that there were some joists but they had been hacked up quite a bit. He <br />stated that they would save what they could, but there was a lot of structural damage to the <br />existing lumber. <br />Haley stated that this was one of the prominent, distinct homes in Louisville, making it <br />something that the community would want to invest in preserving. <br />Dunlap moved to approve Resolution 1, Series 2021. Burg and Keller seconded. Motion passed <br />unanimously by voice vote. <br />Burg moved to approve Resolution 2, Series 2021. Keller seconded.

Motion passed <br />unanimously by voice vote. <br />541 Jefferson Avenue: A request to approve an Alteration Certificate and a Preservation and <br />Restoration Grant in the amount of $35,000 for the property at 541 Jefferson Avenue. <br />• Applicant: Andy Johnson, DAJ Design <br />• Owners: 541 Jefferson LLC <br />• Staff: Kim Bauer, Preservation Planner <br />Bauer reminded the Commission that 541 Jefferson had been landmarked in November 2020 <br />and there had been an Alteration Certificate at that time, as well, which was for the original <br />structure. This certificate request was for the new addition. Bauer explained that the proposal <br />added a two-story residence to the rear of the structure and removed the existing addition. She <br />noted that the alteration would not have any large effects on the integrity of the original <br />structure. Bauer stated that staff believed that the historic structure was not negatively affected <br />since the addition was set back from the original portion and that there would not be historic <br />elements removed. She described the amount requested and the work to be covered, which <br />included drainage and grading, siding, restoring and replacing the trim and work on the windows <br />and doors. She summarized that staff recommended approval of the alteration certificate and <br />the grant request. <br />5 <br />
