Description: Review of new proposal for elevator enclosure at right side of Landmark, residential building.
ARC & Commission Actions:Â
05/20/25: The ARC voted to defer this application for additional review. The ARC requested the SHPO response to the current proposal. The ARC stated that the elevator shaft and vestibule should be tucked into the rear bay of the gallery rather than an exterior addition. The elevator override should be setback from the gable wall to allow it to continue undisturbed. The ARC did recommend approval of the change from wood columns to fiberglass, as long as they are an exact historic recreation. Â
04/09/25: CMM voted to grant conceptual approval of the reconstruction of the cupola with the details to be worked out at the staff level. Â
Defer action on the gallery enclosure until the next Commission meeting for additional information from the SHPOs office.Â
03/25/25: The ARC recommended conceptual approval of the reconstruction of the historic cupola and installation of an elevator with the details to be worked out at the staff level. The ARC stated that the proportions of the cupola should be refined to match the historic photo. The final drawings submitted for HDLC review should include all elevations and should clearly show the changes to the existing building.
The ARC recommended denial of the rear gallery enclosure for the elevator vestibule, as enclosing historic galleries/porches does not meet the HDLC Guidelines.
