Property Notes / Work to be Completed
- This proposal incorporates extensive renovations to multiple buildings, which means a good portion of the Design Guidelines are applicable to this project. Staff feels that this project does a very good job of keeping within the recommendations of the guidelines, however, there are a two details that need to be considered by the board as follows: 1) The new cornice at 103/105 S Gay Street originally had a spanish tile (or similar) roof as seen in the attached historic photoes. Staff feels that a roofing material with more texture than a flat galvenized steel could be appropriate. 2) The existing windows at 308/310 S Gay Street may be the original windows in the building. If they are, the guidelines recommend retaining these windows in favor of replacement windows. The property owner is applying for historic tax credits so the National Park Service will also make a determination whether replacement windows are appropriate.
