Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />18 October 2021 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br />Brauneis stated that the funkiness of the neighborhood was part of what we love, but what we <br />currently allow is just too big for this area. <br />Haley stated that additional lot coverage was a strong incentive than the financial ones. She <br />would not have trouble with a cap but it would take incentive options away. <br />Brauneis stated that a lower cap would not necessarily preclude offering incentives. <br />Onaran stated that the additional coverage was not really working as an incentive except on <br />larger lots and then that was when the buildings got too big. That then brings up the question, <br />are we really preserving the neighborhood at that point. <br />Haley stated that she would appreciate having some Code say what was too big to help guide <br />the Commission, which we don't have right now. <br />Dunlap stated that he liked the presentation. He mentioned seeing how many large lots were <br />available for subdividing. He thought that design and aesthetics were a part of the character and <br />there were not addressed as much. The only design element in the Code now was the porch of <br />the roof, but community outreach had brought up design aspects like porches and historic looks. <br />He asked if the consultants saw a place for design in their analysis. <br />Onaran replied that they would add it because the commissioners had brought it up. <br />Dunlap stated that they had been fortunate that local architects put forward pleasing designs <br />that are congruent, though there are some that aren't congruent whether they're modern or not. <br />He wanted to look at more design aspects than just the pitch of the roof. He noted that it was <br />important for the Commission to differentiate additions from the original design of historic <br />buildings according to the Department of the Interior. <br />Parker replied that the four building types could be a starting point for addressing other design <br />issues. <br />Howe stated that he wanted to allow small lots, but to present the devil's advocate point, he <br />wondered how that would affect the preservation of downtown, as population density may be <br />affected and that could change the historic view of the downtown and traffic. He stated that <br />hopefully this would maintain diversity and affordability, though he noted that while it might <br />initially be more affordable there could be an increase in value through the building of a new <br />hosue. He was not convinced that it would improve affordability downtown. He thought ADUs <br />would also decrease affordability by increasing the value of the land. Details would be important <br />in balancing affordability but maintaining diversity. <br />Onaran asked the other commissioners about the design pieces that Commissioner Dunlap <br />brought up. <br />Brauneis cautioned that we might incur the wrath of people from a political perspective. <br />Hoefner agreed and added that design elements should be captured in a guidelines or <br />standards document, and should not be overly prescriptive. <br />4 <br />
