1 KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: The staff would be most pleased if the same conditions that were 2 applied to Mr. Burke regarding his porch design also be applied to Mr. MacDonald regarding his 3 gutters and downspouts. He should be asked to consult with design or architectural experts, 4 either from Historic Landmarks Foundation, Joann and Don Sporleder, or Notre Dame. 5 6 MARTHA CHOITZ: The same should go for the brackets on the house. Has he already taken 7 some of the brackets down? 8 9 KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: Yes. 10 11 MARTHA CHOITZ: Where are the brackets that he has taken down? Those brackets are very 12 essential to that house. I don't think any of this should be done until he has a clear picture of 13 what style of house he has there. Has he also closed up the windows with the transoms over 14 - them? 15 16 KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: He has nailed pressed wood over both transoms. Structurally the 17 doorframes and transom frames have not been removed. No, the owner does not have the 18 slightest idea of what the architectural style of the house is, which would be another reason why 19 some consultation either pro-bono or with an architect of his choice would be an excellent idea in 20 this case. 21 22 JOHN OXIAN: Why don't we vote this down and tell him that he has to come back in and fill 23 out a new C of A with the condition that he goes out and does the same thing that we are asking 24 Mr. Burke to do, which is to get an architect to come in with recommendations for everything 25 that he is proposing to do to his property? 26 27 MARTH CHOITZ: I think we should try to find out if the work on the property has stopped. 28 29 KAREN HAMMOND-NASH: He was red -tagged by the building department and,we were 30 assured by the building department that they would keep contractors from working on this 31 property until a C of A has been applied for and granted. 32 The holes in the roof however, are anenormous concern to staff. I really don't want the 33 winter weather going inside that house. 34 35 CATHERINE HOSTETLER: I move that we deny C of A 2003-0919-3; because, the 36 homeowner did not show up with the requested drawings and specifications for this project as 37 extensive as it is. That the recommendations we are discussing tonight be passed on to Mr. 38 MacDonald. 39 40 MARY JANE CHASE: Seconds the motion and it passes unanimously. 41 42 43 1. 2003-0908; Jefferson School, 528 South Eddy Street; window sash 44 replacement in original building & new windows in new addition. 45 (Report of Jefferson School Advisory Committee meeting Oct. 21) 46 Virginia O'Hair gave report of the Committee in Gerald Ujdak's absence. 47 4
