City Council Meeting Minutes April 20, 2021 Page 6 of 14 STRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION TO THE REAR OF THE EXISTING STRUCTURE AND ASSOCIATED SITE IMPROVEMENTS AND A SPECIAL REVIEW USE TO ALLOW USE GROUP #35, OUTDOOR EATING AND DRINKING ESTABLISHMENTS FOR 809 MAIN STREET RESOLUTION NO. 31, SERIES 2021 — A RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOCAL LANDMARK DESIGNATION FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 809 MAIN STREET RESOLUTION NO. 32, SERIES 2021 — A RESOLUTION APPROVING A HISTORIC PRESERVATION FUND GRANT FOR THE LANDMARKED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 809 MAIN STREET Mayor Stolzmann introduced the item and asked for any disclosures. There were no disclosures. Mayor Stolzmann opened the public hearing. Planner Ritchie stated this is a request for a Planned Unit Development (PUD), Special Review Use (SRU), landmark, and a historic preservation grant for 809 Main Street. The current building is in the core of downtown and was constructed circa 1900 with some additions over the years. It has been vacant since 2017 and is currently in pretty bad disrepair. This is the first PUD or SRU application for this location. The proposal looks to keep the first 25 feet of the structure which is believed to be the original footprint of the site and the most historic section of the building. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) approved an alteration certificate for restoration and rehabilitation for the fagade with new siding, replica windows, and a new front door. The remainder of the building would be a redevelopment and include a new 2-story addition at the rear. Keeping the addition minimal to the historic portion meets the design guidelines and preservation best practices. A waiver is required for the canopy cover in the rear. Staff finds the proposal meets all standards and guidelines for the Design Handbook for Downtown. One parking space is provided in the proposal, none are required. A Special Review Use is required for music on the outdoor patio. Staff finds the application meets all the criteria for an SRU with hours of operation of 7 am — Midnight. Staff finds the site does meeting the landmarking criteria for architectural significance, cultural significance, and physical integrity. The applicant is requesting a grant to fund a portion of the preservation and restoration work as well as a $75K new construction grant. Staff finds they meet all of the criteria for the new construction grant by having limited height and massing on the addition. Staff finds the site is eligible for an extraordinary circumstances grant due to the existing disrepair of the site and the high level of investment needed in the property. The HPC recommended approval of this request with a 3-1 vote.
