Approved by Elicia Feasel, Executive Director Commissioner Hertel moved to deny application as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner Gordon. No further discussion. President Klusczinski clarified that votes in the affirmative will support the motion to deny the application and reminded the members to state their reasons when voting. Roll call was ordered. Commissioner Anderson (AYE) — loss of architectural integrity to a local landmark Commissioner Parker (Present) —Abstained. "Not comfortable with a vote on this just now." Commissioner Klusczinski (AYE) — the project supports stylistic and material departures from the original intent of the structure. Material choice is not in keeping with the Group B Standards and Guidelines for local historic landmarks, especially where the fagade is concerned. I support the staff recommendation for more appropriate choice in materials. We have a general lack of information regarding the need for this particular construction, and I believe that supporting this - -- project also supports a desire to degrade a landmark beyond its current rating. --- Commissioner Gordon (AYE) — because of inappropriate material and not staying with the integrity of the building and outside the standards. For me, there could have been some difference in my opinion if it was just in a district and not an individual landmark. We are really changing the look of an individual landmark as opposed to a house in a district that may have had other similar houses. An individual landmark, I can't see getting this far away from our standards Commissioner Hertel (AYE) — it does not meet the Group B Standards and Guidelines, and the materials used compromise the historical and architectural integrity of this landmark. None opposed.
