A

Good evening, madam chair and commissioners, my name is john simoli, I'm filling in for andrea burke tonight to present the historic design guidelines for the linhurst presidential historic district next slide. Please.

A

As you know, on july 31 2020, the minneapolis city council designated the linhurst residential historic district in south minneapolis, founded by 46th and 48th streets, west and dupont, avenue south and both sides of fremont avenue south. The district contains 65 out of 66 contributing resources.

A

Would our itt team take a a look and see if perhaps we've got a different set of slides? This would be for the lindhurst residential historic district. It should be four slides. A powerpoint presentation proceed with my um sort of introduction here. Thank you.

A

Thank you. That's perfect.

A

The historic district is significant for its association, with a pattern of development in the area east of lake harriet and for its representation of residential architectural styles of the early 20th century.

A

Next slide, please, at the july 27 2021 meeting the hpc requested specific revisions to the guidelines document that was prepared by a preservation consultant, hess reusing company and completed in june 2021 staff completed most of the requested changes. Next slide.

A

Please, in addition to a minor change in the acknowledgements, changes were made to page 13 regarding additions, relative to setbacks and height, page 14, under new construction and garages relative to heightened materials, and instead of making the requested change to page 16, the change was made to page 13, where language was added regarding accessory dwelling units and garage additions, no change was made regarding the height and massing for new garages, as these requirements are regulated by the zoning code and dependent upon individual lot size, grading and any existing accessory floor area.

A

This is consistent with how other historic district design guidelines handle height and massing of garages and accessory structures with the revisions to the document. Cped recommends that the heritage preservation commission adopt staff findings and adopt the linters residential historic district design guidelines.

A

This concludes my presentation, I'm available for any questions that you may have.

B

Thank you, john. Are there any questions for staff, commissioner, howard.

E

Since I'm the one who raised the questions last time, I just wanted to say thanks for making the changes. I think this looks great.

B

Thank you, commissioner howard. I agree I went through and looked at the edits and I I appreciated having our our thoughts addressed. Any other commissioner comments. Questions.

B

I think we're all excited to have these guidelines go through and that um and once once the guidelines are in place, it tends to be a lot easier for residents um in historic districts. So I appreciate the the fast turnaround with the edits so that we can get these in place um any any further discussion. Or would somebody like to make a motion.

B

Commissioner, howard.

E

I'll make a motion to adopt the linhurst residential, historic district design guidelines.

B

Thank you. Is there a second.

E

B
