Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 20, 2010 <br />Page 2 of 11 <br />Koertje opened public hearing. <br />McCartney presented the staff report and PowerPoint presentation. He stated it was <br />obvious the windows are not original, but was not sure if the window forms had been <br />changed. The building footprint appeared to be more than 50 years old. He closed by <br />recommending approval of the case because the structure had social significance. <br />Barbara Butterworth, applicant, asked the Commission if they had questions. <br />Tofte asked about the age of the windows. <br />Butterworth stated she changed all of the windows in 2005. <br />Stewart asked if Butterworth was okay with name chosen for the structure (Ross <br />House). <br />Butterworth stated she was fine with it, but thought it might be best if named “Ross- <br />Zarini House”. <br />Tofte asked if the new windows were wood or vinyl. <br />Butterworth stated the windows were vinyl and confirmed the previous windows were <br />also vinyl. <br />Lewis asked if there were any older photos of the structure. <br />Butterworth stated no but she had stayed in touch with the previous owners. <br />Stewart asked if the structure was in good condition. <br />Butterworth stated it appeared to be solid. She added she has put in approximately <br />$70,000 of her own money to renovate the structure. She stated an interest in <br />enclosing the porch. <br />Koertje asked if the porch was screened now. <br />Butterworth stated it was not screened, but has a plastic covering in need of repair. <br />Lewis asked if the stucco was in good shape. <br />Butterworth answered she thought it was but the wood trim needs repair. <br />Public Comments - none <br />Commission Questions and Comments <br />Muckle stated she liked the application for the following reasons: <br /> Front door detail is nice and represents 1905 – not many like this. <br /> Good integrity but she wished there were older photos. <br /> Social history is notable. <br /> In favor of naming the structure Ross-Zarini. <br />Lewis stated she liked the application as well, for the following reasons: <br /> Architecturally the building is interesting – probably was originally wood clad. <br /> It is interesting to see the evolution of the structure through the additions. <br /> <br />
