Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes February 21, 2022 Page 6 of 9 Pontasch has lived in this house since 1987. She shows the commissioners photos of the house as it has been renovated. She explains the process of how she got to the original siding of the house. She then reviews the various steps of renovations that have happened to the house. She informs that the original house was a one-story bungalow style house. She gives the commissioners an overview of the interior renovations and how they have tried to keep the original character of the house. They have not changed the original footprint of the house. She is interested in the historical society doing further investigation of the house, particularly the main part. Commissioner Questions of Applicant: Haley says that anywhere they see a double window, there was originally a single window there, correct? Pontasch says that is correct. Burg asks if she is aware of anymore historical history on this house. Pontasch says that she is hoping that the Superior historical society will be able to help them with that. Public Comment: None is heard. Discussion by Commissioners: Burg says that this is an iconic house for Louisville as well as a great location. There are different pieces of character and structure, similarly to other homes in Louisville. It does meet the required criteria. She is interested in an HSA assessment. Haley says that part of the cultural and geographical piece of the house being moved from Superior to Louisville is valuable for the City. She summarizes why she believes the house meets the architectural significance. Dunlap says he appreciates the enthusiasm of keeping the structure and going through the Iandmarking process. Keller says he agrees with the other commissioners. He believes that any house that has been moved should have a structural assessment to make sure there are no hidden issues. Dunlap moves and Keller seconds a motion to approve 740 Grant Avenue's request to find probable cause for a landmark designation to allow for funding of a historic structure assessment. Motion passes unanimously by a roll call vote. NEW BUSINESS — PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS 9A.
