AHBR 21-1046 53 First Street New Commercial Structure and Exterior Alteration (Peg’s Home & Gallery, Baldwin-Buss House) Attachments: Peg's Home & Gallery Elevations - March 9, 2022 Meeting Peg's Comparison Elevations from 10.13.21 Meeting Baldwin-Buss House Elevations - March 9, 2022 Meeting Park Lane Square - Renderings March 9, 2022 Meeting Product Specification Sheets Public Comments Received Photos 3.3.22 Staff Memo to AHBR - October 13, 2021 Meeting Elevations - October 13, 2021 Meeting Mr. Rick Keller, President, Peg's Foundation, presented the vision for the Foundation headquarters building, the history of the decision to locate in the proposed location, the partenership with the Baldwin-Buss House, the attempt to highlight the Baldwin-Buss House, the team involved with the project, the demolition permits which have been secured and the construction schedule (if approvals are secured). Mr. Joe Matava and Mr. Nate Bailey, Peninsula Architects, noted Welty Construction will be the construction manager, described and displayed the materials to be used on the Foundation building . Mr. Matava described a positive meeting with the Hudson Heritage Association (HHA) and noted the intent of the building is to be an art space, which is distinct from a retail business with the design supporting the art space purpose. Mr. Matava noted disagreement with HHA regarding the east side of the proposed building. Peg's foundation is attempting to respect the existing historical buildings while meeting the Foundation building's purpose. The south side of the building and the use of sandstone was also discussed along with landscaping to mitigate the view of the mechanical equipment and utilities entrances. Mr. Bailey described the rooftop units which will be concealed. Mr. Bailey also noted two potential problems: 1) It is anticipated that approximately 40-percent of the Baldwin-Buss siding, on some of the sides, will need to be replaced, however there is a possibility that more of the existing siding may be irreparable when examined. 2) The existing siding with multiple layers of paint may be difficult to match with new siding, this problem may be best resolved by residing the entire house. The Board, Applicant and staff discussed the areas needing siding replacement, the applicable LDC sections regarding siding replacement and setting limits for the amount of replacement siding for each side of the house. Mr. Bailey noted the existing windows will be restored and new windows be added to the west side where the addition is torn off. The new windows will be built to match the windows on the east. Mr. Matava discussed internal and external ways to insulate the sides of the house, depending on the amount of siding removed. Mr. Bailey noted the recommendations for siding removal, based on the condition of the siding, are from the restoration experts. Mr. Matava also stated the goal is to have an end product that does not looked patched together and a willingness to have staff and the AHBR on scene to see and hear from during the restoration Mr. Workley made a motion regarding the Baldwin Buss House, seconded by Mr. Ray, to approve the application with the following conditions: 1) The applicant with staff regarding the discovery of siding condition as the project proceeds with the main focus of no more than the ten-percent siding removal of the front/east elevation and forty-percent siding removal as City of Hudson, Ohio Page 3 Architectural & Historic Board of Review Meeting Minutes - Final March 9, 2022 the base total on the overall project and the percentage per elevation be noted on the plans per evelation. Should the percentages need to exceed the ten and forty percents, a Board visit is to be scheduled. 2) The existing windows be repaired and restored, except on the west side. Aye: 6- Mr. Anzevino, Mr. Funyak, Ms. Marzulla, Mr. Ray, Mr. Reid and Mr. Workley The Board, staff and applicant viewed and discussed the height of the new Peg's Foundation building, the windows and the general design of the building while reviewing the earlier drawing. The renderings of the picture window were displayed and discussed, Mr. Matava stated he believes the window will fit the scale and form of building and help connect it to the Baldwin-Buss House. The window will also differentiate this building from the historic era buildings, as recommended by the Secretary of the Interior. Mr. Matava also noted that the window has been scaled down with single horizontal mullion added from previous renderings. Changing the design of the framing of the large square window was discussed. The Board expressed satisfaction with the south side design. Mr. Matava noted the brick corbel defines the edge of the roof that meets the wall and this type of architecture is used throughout the historic area especially on the Western Reserve Academy campus. The overall height of the new building will be eight and one-half feet lower than the Baldwin-Buss House. The use of brick around the building was discussed with areas that are proud of the wall. The rooftop structures as drawn were discussed. The type of windows and bronze colored frame were discussed as well as how some of the window mechanisms being functional. The possibility of the applicant presenting other options to the large window was discussed as well as softening the look of the window by using sandstone as framing. Mr. Matava requested the Board approve a motion contingent on the use of different orientations and/or brick framing with smaller amounts of sandstone around the large square east window. Mr. Workley made a motion, seconded by Mr. Ray, to table this portion of the application to further study the east elevation window with the understanding that the remaining design is acceptable to the Board. The motion was approved by the following vote: Aye: 6- Mr. Anzevino, Mr. Funyak, Ms. Marzulla, Mr. Ray, Mr. Reid and Mr. Workley VII. Other Business A.
