Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />22 February 2021 <br />Page 7 of 10 <br />Dunlap stated that it seemed appropriate and the biggest hurdles had been in the approval <br />process in November. He noted that the addition was a better addition than some of the other <br />proposals that the Commission had seen. <br />Haley stated that the pedestrian perspective was helpful to give an idea of how it would feel on <br />the street. She thought that the connector being recessed was a great way to distinguish the <br />addition and not feel as bulky. She thought it was helpful and sensitive. <br />Dunlap stated that the Commission struggled with accommodating the large houses that <br />families want these days while still making the additions compatible with the historic structures <br />and he thought this did a decent job. <br />Keller stated that he thought it was an ingenious design and he liked the greenery and the <br />glass. <br />Haley asked the Commission to discuss the grant request, stating that it was within the budget <br />of the grant and addressed the issues that the Commission had discussed in November. <br />Keller stated he thought it was reasonable. <br />Dunlap moved and Keller seconded Resolution 4, approval of the Alteration Certificate. Motion <br />passed unanimously by voice vote. <br />Burg moved to approve the grant request, Resolution 5. Dunlap seconded. Motion passed <br />unanimously by voice vote. <br />637 Lincoln Avenue: A request to find probable cause for a landmark designation to allow for <br />funding of a historic structure assessment for 637 Lincoln Avenue. <br />• Applicant: Barbara and Peter Hamlington <br />• Owners: Same <br />• Staff: Kim Bauer, Preservation Planner <br />Bauer shared that the building was approximately 121 years old and exemplified the folk <br />Victorian style and that its Tuscan columns and decorative shingling set it apart. She shared the <br />social significance of the house, which had been owned by a prominent business owner and <br />later by a mayor of Louisville. The structure maintained a high level of structural integrity. Staff <br />recommended a finding of probable cause for 637 Lincoln Avenue. <br />Dunlap asked about widow's walks in Louisville and if they had a functional purpose. <br />Bauer stated that there were other widow's walks in the area. She did not think it served any <br />particular purpose other than for design. <br />Andy Johnson, 922A Main, stated that he was happy to present this building and that he thought <br />it was a slam dunk. He stated that 625 Lincoln was the same owner and he was proud of the <br />preservation project there. Johnson shared that 637 was a fabulous home and that the outside <br />shell and the interior had a lot of good things going on. He noted that there had been a widow's <br />walk on 625 historically that they had recreated from a picture, but that they were not common <br />7 <br />
