Commissioner Hertel explained her opposition to PVC and vinyl siding and expressed that it is a responsibility to uphold the <br /> historic integrity of these homes,especially ones like this one,which were here long before much of anything else in <br /> the area. <br /> Commissioner Stalheim inquired as to what the plan was as to the decorative elements on the roof and over the windows. <br /> Mr.Modlin stated that he is in the process of repairing those,and that some have gone missing,and he's going to have to re-mill <br /> them as close as possible,with marine grade plywood,CNC'd out. <br /> Commissioner Stalheim asked if all would be replaced. <br /> Ms.Modlin stated that that would depend on the condition of the remaining pieces and indicated in the imagery on the projector <br /> that some of the pieces are hanging dangerously off the house. <br /> Mr.Modlin stated that he thought the new material looks good from the street. <br /> Commissioner Hertel expressed that she believes you can tell the difference between PVC,vinyl,and wood. She further stated <br /> that she agreed with Dr.Downs-Krostenko that it seems impossible that all the siding is bad,and that the replacement <br /> material should have the proper look. That there is evidence of long-term neglect. That she is hesitant to make a <br /> quick judgement. That she would like to see a better estimate as to the current siding condition. That replacing some <br /> of the material would be cheaper than replacing all of the material. <br /> Commissioner Brazinsky asked how long of a continuance would be needed to get an estimate. <br /> Administrator Feasel stated that it would be on the applicant to talk with restoration experts to determine the cost and time of <br /> that kind of project. That staff's role at this point would be negligible,as we have already determined the siding to be <br /> deteriorated beyond repair. <br /> Commissioner Brazinsky reiterated that the siding looked identical to what she had in Wisconsin,that had insects and bees <br /> nests. Commissioner Brazinsky stated that she was between outright denial and continuing for more information. <br /> Commissioner Hertel explained that the Commission could deny the application as it currently exists,which would require the <br /> applicant to reapply for the exterior changes again. The Commission could offer a continuance where you could get <br /> additional information that the Commission is requesting and come back at the next meeting with that information <br /> (without paying additional application fees). Commissioner Hertel asked the applicant what they would like to do. <br /> Mr.Modlin asked if they could discuss the options. <br /> Commissioner Hertel stated that the meeting could not be postponed. <br /> Mr.Modlin asked what they should do in the interim regarding the health concerns related to the condition of the house. <br /> Commissioner Hertel stated that they should get with their contractor immediately,but that these conditions don't appear to be <br /> new problems. As homeowners they should be combatting any mold or other biological concerns with the appropriate <br /> bleach mixture. <br /> Mr.Modlin stated that they've tried and that they are this point,and that they believe the house exterior is beyond repair. When <br /> they were sitting in the basement when the tornado came through and they saw bat feces raining down from the wall <br /> because the rain was coming in,it was actionable. The only way that was feasible was to take the old off and put the <br /> new on. <br /> Commissioner Hertel reiterated that they are still at the same point as five minutes ago:the Commission can deny the <br /> application,or give a continuance to find additional information. <br /> Mr.Modlin Sr.interjected that you have to have the money to be able to do the work. <br /> Mr.Modlin asked clarified that the options are continuation or denial. <br /> Commissioner Hertel explained that the Commission's feelings are apparent,and that the Commission wants to empower you to <br /> make the house better. <br /> Ms.Modlin asked what the time frame of the continuation would be. <br /> Legal Counsel Kennedy explained that the next meeting would within the time frame of the current application. <br /> Commissioner Stalheim expressed concerns regarding the weather. <br /> Administrator Feasel expressed that any additional information would need to be received by the COA deadline date. <br /> Mr.Modlin asked what the status of the Red Tag from the Building Department would be. <br /> Administrator Feasel explained that Staff would contact the Building Department to inform them that the project was still under <br /> review and more information would be available in late November. <br /> Commissioner Ponder made a motion to continue COA#2019-1007A and request the <br /> applicant get additional information about restoration of the exterior siding(with <br /> information about the amount of salvageable material),with the date of <br /> November 12`x'for more information. Seconded by Commissioner Brazinsky. <br /> Four in favor,none opposed. <br /> Vote: 4—0. Motion to continue COA#2019-1007A is passed. <br /> 3. 2119 Portage Avenue #2019-1011A #7020-82 Local <br /> Landmark <br />
