Ben,
Sure we can visit, with historic preservation guidelines, the devil is in the details. I
need details and elevations of the building when it is finished. You have shown where
the work will occur on the building and listed what the type of work that is going to be
done, but you didn’t provide a rendering of the finished product, examples of windows,
metal roofing, doors, staircase materials etc.
For example:
On page 47 of the Warehouse Historic Design Guidelines there is a photo and
description of this building:
1
I need to see a sample of the windows you are proposing to replace the old windows
with, a key point is to replace the wood double hung windows with double hung
windows or ones that appear to be double hung. Replace vertical siding with vertical
siding, sliding service doors with sliding service doors. I don’t see any of this
information in this application.
These are the types of things the commissioners are going to look at when I send
them the staff report packet. I want this process to go smoothly but without the
details I am not able to recommend any type of approval.

I have taken a look at the application and there is not sufficient enough information
for me to move forward with the application.
This is an extensive modifications to a building, I will require the following to be
provided to schedule the application for a meeting. If I were to take the application as
it has been submitted the Historic Preservation Commission would have no other
option than to deny the request. They are going to review the application for the
appropriateness of the materials and design and if they fit the character of the
building and the district, it cannot be left for imagination.
Please review the Warehouse Historic Guidelines, the committee will be looking
closely at these to make a decision and please provide the information required on
the application.
1. Provide a detail description of work to be conducted on site.
2. Reference the specific historic guidelines which you believe apply to this project: (list
pages & guideline numbers)
a. Provide a detailed description of materials to be used, reference the specific
historic guidelines you believe are applicable to this project and how the project
meets the specific guidelines.
3. Supporting Materials/Documents
a. Site Plan (with notes showing existing site and proposed changes.
b. Photographs of the building and location where the proposed work will be
completed.
c. Samples of material to be used if available or detailed description.
d. Elevations with dimension for new buildings, exterior renovations, or additions.
e. Elevations with dimensions for proposed signage and placement of the sign.
4. The applicant must proof of legal interest for the subject property by providing ONE
of the following:
a. Copy of Warranty Deed, or

Buyer and Seller, or
