12-E-15-HZ Approved with Conditions

Approved with the condition that the location of the new HVAC units and the method of screening are provided to staff for approval prior to installation. The project consists of the restoration of the historic Kern's Bakery facade. This will include the removal of a late addition concrete block garage and loading dock on the west (front) elevation of the building. The opening will be filled with a new garage door to replicate the original based on historic photo-documentation. This will return the elevation to its original configuration. The masonry will undergo general repair and re-pointing. Only painted brick will be repainted. The larger HVAC compressor that is closest to the building on the front will be removed and the replacement units will either be installed on the roof or to the side of the building and screened. The steel factory windows will be repaired and repainted in place. The panes will be replaced with insulated glass panes. New period-appropriate light fixtures will replace the existing non-historic light fixtures (see submitted spec sheet). Stonework on the facade will be repaired as necessary. The main entrance doors and transoms will be repaired in place. The exterior main entrance stairs will be repaired as necessary. The original sign over the front entry will be replicated from documentary photographs.
