Discussion:
HPC stated
- Craig Brown recused himself because he has a direct interest
- Carl Johnson was designated to handle this item
- Mike Doyle asked the present concrete wall and parking in the front will that be eliminated along with the side parking spot
- Craig Albaugh states after doing research he found out that the building was a school and a church
- More likely it would have had a wooden double door
- Albaugh responded that the roof was flat
- the front of the home will be an improvement
- Glass door is too modern looking for this building
Owner and Applicant Clinton Ivy/ Tim McGuire
- House plans and Drawings complete by Jim Baranski
- Mr. Ivy would like to move doors in the center and adding decking around, along with parking spot in the front of the house
- would like to change front foundation into a capped garage
- Adding retaining walls on both sides
- Tim McGuire States that the stone wall in the interior of the home has been pushed in about a foot and a half in the basement
- The front porch needed to be remodeled anyways, they intend on digging in front of it and putting a cap, that way it will put all that stress on the outside structure basement walls, not the center of the structure
- McGuire replied to Mr. Doyle by saying the side parking will remain there, the black top will continue to the porch
- the front door was originally in the middle; we would like it back to be put back
- the windows will be taller, the transom and side lights will be visible through front door
- McGuire inquired on the style of roof

Discussion:
HPC stated
- Craig Brown asked when the concrete was poured
- Well after the building was build
- Material being used is wood on top and re-used metal on the first level - Using wood is authentic and allowing it to go back to the era it was built
- Would you be using 6 x 6 instead of turned
- Pictures of original homes, showed turned post
- Obtain 6x6 turned post
Applicant Adam Johnson and Owner Galena Eagles Club
- Two story porch Bench St side is beyond repair
- The existing concrete structure is structural not sound which is causing second floor to start caving in
- What Adams Johnson would like to do is replace it with a wooden structure, painted Balestri, and molded handrail
- Are planning on using the metal railing from second floor for ground level patio for as a privacy and separation along the street
- Metal rails is no longer code for safety height wise
- Adam Johnson replied in 1915
- Metal railing are more indicative of balconies
- Would give a little detail on wood post
