LOCKPORT ST. Ms. Riemenschneider provided an overview of the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness. Chairman Bortel read information from the Archi Search survey. Ben DeVee, applicant, provided details on the proposed changes to the building. The commission voiced their concerns regarding the proposed roof change to section of the house that was believed to originally be an open porch. Commissioner Derrick voiced that the proposed work has changed since the applicant’s last presentation before the HPC and the proposed work does not comply with the standards and is not appropriate for a COA. Commissioner Derrick indicated the proposed lights are fine; the replacement of the door needs to be historically sensitive and would like to see a cutsheet; and would prefer a retractable window with no faux divided lights since it would mimic an open porch. Commissioner Derrick indicated that she does not support the changing of the pitch of the roof or pediment over the door. The commission discussed their concerns with the proposed doors/windows for the eastside of the front elevation. The commission and staff discussed conditions for the letter of agreement. Commissioner Derrick explained the why it is important to maintain the integrity of the original features of the house. Commissioner Barvian suggested the applicant only install the deck on the east side of the house so the integrity of the structure will remain. Mr. DeVee explained why the porch would be good for the restaurant and why there is not enough room for a full deck on the east side of the house. Commissioner Derrick made a motion to recommend approval of the requested Certificate of Appropriateness for the property located at 24136 W. Lockport Street, subject to execution of a Letter of Agreement with a detailed scope of work, executed between the HPC, applicant, and Village staff to accept the following conditions of approval: 1. Lighting – The Historic Preservation Commission approves of the lighting as proposed. 4 Historic Preservation Commission Minutes January 12, 2023 Page 3 of 3 2. Front (south) Door – The Historic Preservation Commission approves of applicant replacing the existing door, but not the style proposed. The Historic Preservation Commission approves a wood door (or a door with the appearance of wood) with a panel detail. The Historic Preservation Commission has provided examples of appropriate doors for this structure; the applicant will coordinate with staff on final selection of an appropriate door. 3. Signage - The Historic Preservation Commission approves of the signage as proposed. 4. Deck, Porch Roof, and Porch Windows – It is staff’s understanding that, at this time, no modifications are being made to the porch roof or porch windows. Additionally, at this time, no deck or other additional structures are being constructed on the front of the building. Should the applicant desire at a future date to make changes to any of these items, detailed plans should be submitted for review by the Historic Preservation Commission through a COA submission.
