Mr. Carfagna read a letter into the record and requested City Commission receive a copy. He stated the letter is not
for this particular item, but wanted to let the Commission know HPB has an obligation and a duty to stand up and
protect the History, Character and Community Identity that the board and Schedule S were created for.
There was discussion regarding conversations between HPB members and City Commissioners, as well as
advocating for or against applicants coming before the board.
During the review of this item Alec Then, Sara Jacobson and Mike Yebba came forward to speak. Mr. Then was
concerned about what historic period the board was trying to replicate as well as any modifications being requested
will not compromise the integrity of the building. Ms. Jacobson stated if the property owner did not do the work that
was approved by city staff, why didn't anyone stop her during the work to advise her the work was not being done
according to codes. She hopes the board can look at this situation and try to make it to where something like this
would not happen in the future. The City needs to look at what is best for the downtown businesses and the downtown
area. Mr. Yebba stated the applicant received public funds from a Fagade Grant and a financial hardship should not
be considered.
Staff distributed "before and after" photos identifying visible modifications made to the building. By consensus of
the board, the following recommended remedy /remedies are to be articulated and transmitted to the City
Commission for consideration at its appeal hearing on January 25, 2016:
• Item 1: Decorative trim detail modified.
The design of the decorative trim detail as shown in Figure 2.1 was acceptable provided it was restored with
approved materials.
• Item 2: Original exposed structural header concealed with foam and stucco, extended to edge of building
wall.
The modification to the existing structural header as shown in Figure 2.2 was acceptable but the westerly
extension that was added on the south facade needs to be removed.
• Item 3: Trim concealed with stucco.
The area shown in Figure 2.3 has a vertical trim detail that separated the former transom windows and should
be restored on the South facade. The front of the building or west facade should be restored with previous
storefront windows, transom windows and trim detail.
• Item 4: Trim concealed with stucco.
Okay to leave area shown in Figure 2.4 as for the South facade only. The front of the building or west facade
should be restored with previous storefront windows, transom windows and trim details.
• Item 5: T1 -11 previously covering circa 1926 storefront windows concealed and /or removed; replaced with
stucco.
Okay to leave area shown in Figure 2.5 as for the South facade only. The front of the building or west facade
should be restored with previous storefront windows, transom windows and trim details.

Code Enforcement Case Review

from the contractor earlier, but has not had a chance to review it. The board requested staff to email them a status
after the message has been reviewed. Ms. Deming stated if it is after the six month time period it needs to be turned
