Mr. Olson presented the demolition plan to the Commission, which includes tearing out plaster, removing fire damaged floor joints, basement stairs, excavation of a tunnel to other courthouse, rear residential stairs and removal of two rear first story windows, which will be reused in the new addition. The second floor will have the platform removed and replaced and a few service windows cut into interior walls. Mr. Olson again stated that their intention is to maintain the 1855 time period on the first floor and the 1873 time period on the second floor. He then went on to discuss the new additions, style and use which boils down to stairs, elevator, bathrooms and entry. Mr. Olson described the exterior as having the same entablature as the original building, having recessed stone openings instead of windows and a flat nonmetallic roof. By doing these things the addition will flow with the original building while still maintaining a visible division between new and old. Mr. Talley asked if the addition was inset. Mr. Olson stated that the addition was recessed to make it less imposing and easily removable allowing for the original structure to be restored in the future. There was some discussion over how the addition would be attached and the benefits of making the addition a little different then the original. There was some discussion over using cast concrete if the real limestone is not available. There was some discussion over the fact that the addition would be added in such a way as to either remove and restore items or cover items over leaving them entombed for future use. There was some discussion over various details in the plans including interior lighting. Mr. Olson stated that some of, if not all of the original glass in the windows may have to be replaced to avoid moisture problems. The discussion turned to concern over the possible loss of original plaster forms in the second floor do to the heating and cooling of the building. Mr. Oxian suggested that the Certificate of Appropriateness be issued so that the project can move forward with the exception of a few issues such as exterior lighting and windows which would be submitted at a later date to the Commission for approval when more data is available. Mr. Fine asked what would happen to the residential stairs when it is removed. Mr. Olson stated that the staircase would go in to storage. Mr. Fine asked if it would be possible to install a cornerstone or plaqie commemorating the date of the addition on the building. It was agreed that such a cornerstone would be acceptable. Mr. Fine moved to approve the application per the submitted plan specification with the exception of windows and exterior lighting and the addition of a dated cornerstone or plaque on the exterior of the new addition. Mrs. Sporleder seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. B. Local Landmark 1. 125 West Marion - Mar -Main Mr. Talley presented the staff report and circulated photographs.
