As we go around, there is a majority to deny, please state the reasons set forth for your denial. We will go around the table. Catherine Hostetler: The reason for denial is because I believe there is an effective adaptive reuse of this, and that would be an interdenominational chapel and all the items mentioned here in the Certificate of Appropriateness denial report. I also found that the C of A application independently violated both the B standards the Historic Preservation Plan standards. Timothy Klusczinski: Costs are pivotal to the petitioner's argument for demolition. I question the validity -of those figures and subsequently the request for demolition based upon those estimates. Approving a C of A is truly the death -knell for the structure and any possible use to sustain it. I cannot agree to that in good conscience. I also found that the C of A application independently, violated both the B standards the Historic Preservation Plan standards. Mary Jane Chase: I too feel that there is a use for an interdenominational chapel having been to so many of them and you stand outside ... That has not been looked into. That is a partof the community and it is a shame that something that is part of the community. I also found that the C of A application independently violated both the B standards the Historic Preservation Plan standards. Shawn Peterson: And for the record do you also include in your comments the form of denial? Mary Jane Chase: All the comments state perfectly to back up my reasons. Shawn Peterson: ... and just to backup, do you as well? Timothy Klusczinski: Yes. Lynn Patrick: I, Lynn Patrick, President of the Commission, deny this based on the staff report, the findings of fact, testimony heard here tonight, evidence, personal tour and knowledge of this structure. I also found that the C of A application independently violated both the B standards the Historic Preservation Plan standards. Therefore, I move and we have voted to deny. Jerry Ujdak: I vote for denial of the Certificate of Appropriateness, basically on the basis of this document, on all the testimony given, and obviously, on all the findings of fact. Shawn Peterson: So, you've proven the form of the document based upon the evidence for it. Jerry Ujdak: Yes. Joann Sporleder: I vote to deny the Certificate of Appropriateness for all the reasons given in the document here and because I believe that this particular structure is historical in its own right and has value to the community; which far outweighs probably cost of renovation, and that it should be maintained, and its loss would be inseparable to that particular site and to our community. Shawn Peterson: Let the record show that the Commission has voted to deny this Certificate of Appropriateness six to nothing with Todd Zeiger abstaining. Each member commented and incorporated, agreed with the findings of fact set forth herein; and therefore, the form, as presented to the Commission, is hereby approved. This concludes the portion of the meeting obtained with Certificates of Appropriateness. Again, I would thank everyone who came and worked hard,- presented ard,presented evidence both for and against and under, we will provide you a Certificate of Denial in the mail shortly thereafter this meeting... amount of three days or after you will have...
