Staff Presentation/Commissioner Questions Associate Planner Sabdo presented the Agenda Report and answered Commissioner questions. Commissioner O’Neil asked for a timeline of building construction, additions, and for clarification on which building was framed. Ms. Sabdo referenced the Sanborn Map and suggested referring to Dr. Anthony Kirk for further clarification. Commissioner Dawson asked if the most recent construction was done in 1926. Ms. Sabdo stated construction started in 1926 with the garage and the house. Chair Smith-Crivello questioned why the porch seems to extend past the property line. Ms. Sabdo answered there are errors in the Geographic Information System (GIS) and the residence would be existing, non-conforming. Applicant Comments Robert Winkleblack, applicant and owner, explained framing history. Commissioner Dawson inquired about the foundation installation. Mr. Winkleblack answered he has no knowledge of the foundation. Dr. Anthony Kirk, project historian, added the earliest Sanborn map dates to 1926 and the exact history is conjectural. Commissioner O’Neil asked Dr. Kirk to go through chronology of the three structures. Dr. Kirk speculated that each structure was built in phases. Chair Smith-Crivello stated, without permits there is no accurate timeline. Dr. Kirk agreed. Ms. Sabdo confirmed this project has not been to HPC before. Dr. Kirk explained the criteria to determine historical significance and stated he did not find this property met the criteria. Commissioner Dawson asked what the definition of vernacular is. Dr. Kirk defined vernacular and stated there is nothing about either houses that would be vernacular. Commissioner O’Neil questioned why the home doesn’t meet Criterion 1. Dr. Kirk said there is no pattern to the professions of the home’s occupants. Public Comments None.
