Received applications are divided into two categories: 1. “minor” projects ‐ those that conform to the applicable Standards & Guidelines. These are projects that myself and my colleague Elicia Feasel are able to process as “administrative approvals”. Examples include installing 2 fences, roof replacement, replacing damaged, lost, or deteriorated siding with the same material (wood for wood, for example), and replacing windows with the same material. Approval for a ‘minor’ project like this occurs in less than two business days of receipt of an application (and more often than not, within minutes of receipt). 2. “major” projects, often they are those that do not conform to the applicable Standards & Guidelines. These are projects that the Historic Preservation Commission reviews at their monthly meeting. Examples include demolition, new construction (new infill), major alterations or additions to existing structures, or replacing existing materials with a new, different material. Certificate of Appropriateness Application Information: Although HPC Staff are available for in‐person consultations and phone calls, we prefer to conduct as much business electronically as possible due to the ongoing COVID health emergency. Our offices are now open and applications may also be hand‐delivered to the Department of Community Investment on the 14th floor of the County City Building. The application above is an enterable PDF that can be sent back to me via e‐mail with whatever supporting documentation you may have. Page three is a checklist that may assist you in ensuring your application is complete – I always encourage people to error on the side of too much information. If you have questions regarding the application process, or information that you think you may need to include, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. Note: please check to makes sure that the text you have entered on your application has been saved. You made need to ‘print to pdf’ the document and save it under a new name to ensure the text is retained. Once you’ve submitted your application electronically, please make sure that your contact number is accurate, because one of my colleagues will contact you so that you may pay the $20.00 application fee over the phone. Once we’ve received the application and the application fee, staff will review your project and process/prepare it for the Commission as needed. Were you project to need to be heard by the Historic Preservation Commission’s regularly scheduled monthly meeting, the deadline for inclusion on a meeting’s agenda is the first Monday of the month. Meetings are held on the third Monday of the month. Currently meetings are being held via Microsoft Teams ‘electronically.’ Under normal circumstances, our meetings are held in the Common Council chambers on the 4th Floor of the County‐City Building. When a Certificate of Appropriateness is generated by our office for your project, the property owner or the contractor may then acquire a Building Permit from the Building Department. The Building Department will not release a Building Permit until a Certificate of Appropriateness is on file from our office. Proposed Projects:  Window Replacement – window projects remain some of the more contentious project types that our office (and the Historic Preservation Commission) review. o We’re always going to advocate for the retention of original material. o Projects where original (“character defining”) windows are proposed for replacement are often heard by the Commission, especially on homes built during the late 19th and early 20th Century with original wood or leaded glass windows. Determining the condition of the windows is an important task, and staff (myself and my inspector, Ross Van Overberghe) are available to conduct site visits to document and assist with this. The proposed material of replacement windows is very important, and vinyl is not often recommended by staff or approved by the Commission. Were you to want to schedule a site visit, please posit a time and we will make ourselves available. Many original windows in our community are long overdue for rehabilitation, but that does not necessarily mean that they should be replaced. I’m here to help by walking you through this process. Let me know if you have additional questions. I’ve cc’d my inspector, Ross Van Overberghe, on this exchange.
