Historic Review Commission AGENDA REPORT Department: Planning Account Code: Prepared By: Renae’ Ollie Subject Consider and act upon a recommendation to the City Council regarding a request to renovate an existing commercial structure, located at 105 W. Jefferson within the Downtown Historic District. Recommendation Motion to recommend approval as presented Discussion OWNER: Robert Heath APPLICANT: Robert Heath The Owner/Applicant proposes to make major renovations to the exterior facade as well as interior changes to accommodate an Office Use and a T-Shirt Shop on the subject property. The plans indicate new paint colors, removing and adding new windows and doors, replacing fire escape, added color bands at parapet and signage, and a wood fence to match existing. New windows will be aluminum. The owner desires to begin work as soon as possible and complete within 3 - 6 months. This item will be considered on the July 11th Council Consent Agenda. 6 Item 1. 7Item 1. 8Item 1. 9Item 1. 10Item 1. 11Item 1. 12 Item 1. 13 Item 1. 14 Item 1. 105 W Jefferson Additional Notes 1.Exterior roof access ladder may or may not be added depending on need,interior roof access ladder is in place and meets current code but sits in the corner of reception area 2.Exterior aggregate is stained with rust.Our goal is to do whatever is feasibly possible (power wash,scrub,chemical cleaning)to bring back this portion of the façade to original state.Failing this aggregate will be painted same color as church brick to tie the two buildings together. 3.All work has been verbally approved based on our measurements actual placement may be adjusted a couple of inches for windows up to a foot plus for 2nd floor emergency egress door depending on engineers actual findings. 4.Our understanding is this building design was approved by Truit Smith.One of a number of buildings he had built in the Historic Zone.This is the third building of his that we have taken stewardship of.His generosity with the community transposed by his frugality with construction cost is well known (as evidenced by the gas pipe ran over the building and tied into the church).The end product was often a building that met all of its utilitarian requirements,but whose personalities were muted. Here is an example of a post modern two story office building tied into a turn of the century church building by a common breezeway.The additional windows asked for are of the same size as are currently installed at other points on the building. 15 Item 1. The doors are of the style you find during that era and the paint color scheme pays homage to the past but is more aesthetically pleasing,as well as making the building “pop”without dominating the buildings around it.Emergency egress is updated to code and eliminates a potential choke point as well as legal issues.The interior is brought to code with the biggest change being the removal of the drop ceiling and the addition of open and closed cell foam for increased energy efficiency.Downstairs we were mindful to keep the lighting period correct but changed from florescent tube to some pendent light fixtures with LED bulbs in the main area and recessed LEDs in the bathrooms and office. Upstairs interior,while not fully fleshed out,will continue this direction. 16 Item 1.
