reviewed documentation of the kitchen site, which is primarily from oral tradition and described
the historical setting and site arrangement of outbuildings as they relate to Curran. He listed
several historical resources, which were utilized for documenting the roof types, location and
proportion of Curran and its support outbuildings. Photographs illustrated city outbuildings,
several of which were two -storied kitchens; also, photos document sizes, shapes and locations of
specific and generic structures.

follow the architectural plans as submitted; OO progress reports submitted to the various entities
involved in the project; Os all repairs meet city code and regulations, as well as approval of the
state Historic Preservation Program; ® should the scope of work change, other than what is
submitted, staff is notified prior to implementation and appropriate actions taken. Phillips made
a motion to approve the request as presented and with staff recommendations; it was
seconded and approved unanimously.
The next Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application for consideration was:
Applicant: Christopher Pratt
Address: 308 East 14th Street
Request: Rehabilitation of structure into a single-family home
The applicant, as owner, presented his request to rehabilitate the structure and convert it from
multi- into single-family; it was vacant for several years. There are plans to close some doors,
windows, etc, which were utilized for the apartments. Photographs of the each elevation
illustrated the highlighted areas of features that would be removed or altered. His contractor was
not present for detailed explanations. The proposed work per elevation was discussed.
Regarding the modifications -- some windows and doors will be closed if not original and some
remain as is or converted to previous use. The next issue was the locations of the two a/c units;
one on the east elevation along the alley and the second unit on the roof on the structure's rear.
There was much discussion about the roof mounted unit in regards to weight and primarily visual
perspective. Gordon emphasized the need for better rehab plans to ensure that the guidelines are
followed and what is requested, is what will be done. There was a motion to defer the request
until the next meeting in order to allow for a more detailed work description; it was
approved unanimously.
