page 23 2. 1071 Riverside Drive --Local Historic District Mr. Pastor reported four proposals. The first involved lighting; replacing two lanterns flanking the front entry with catalina lighting fixtures, and replacing the light over the side door. The third proposal was to replace the garage door with a flat -profile door; the fourth was to install a wrought -iron handrail on the front steps. The staff and committee approved all these proposals,. but did suggest a profiled garage door instead of a flat one. Mr. Herendeen moved to approve the staff report; Mr. Eide seconded the motion. Motion approved unanimously. Mr. Herendeen commented that the light fixtures being replaced were beautiful, but no criteria existed to prevent their removal. One of the old fixtures, admittedly, was badly deteriorated; but no criteria existed for recommending alternate fixtures as replacements. Mr. Holycross reported that the.0 of A committee had met with Mr. Murphy regarding the oval window on the rear extension of the house. The committee determined that Mr. Murphy could not represent an adequate case for economic hardship, and upheld the HPC's January decision requiring the window's replacement with one more appropriate. Mr. Murphy had been informed of his options, one of which was to appear before the Common Council. On February 17, Mr. Murphy had submitted a stack of papers --letters of support, primarily --to the staff. These he distributed to the commission members, advising them that these documents had not been received until after the committee meeting. Mr. Holycross further reported that Ms. Manion and Mr_ Murphy had declared their intention to appear before the Common Council. He was not sure they were in earnest. Mr. Oxian moved to deny the case for economic hardship. Mr. Herendeen seconded the motion. Motion ..__ap�roved__unanimously_ IV. Regular Business A.
