Ar request has been made by Moses Moye, LLC, owner of 601 East 2nd Street, for a Certificate of a. Remove the brick façade and replace it with wood lap siding or Hardiplank. b. Raise the house by 4 per FEMA code requirement and screen the new crawlspace witha Adda5 5'x10' porch at the front of the house and a 12'x10' deck at the back of the house. OMr. Moye, bought this house and tried to think of something positive to do. Idon't like tearing structures down. This house has been flooded multiple times. Raising to a height approved by FEMA would approve that problem. The structure itself is solid. We have removed the drywall. Wej just put a new roof on it. We plan to come back with a newer, betterwindow. The brick is just a façade. It is not a structural brick. We would pull that down when we raised it and come back with Hardiplank or wood siding. We want it to match the houses around it. We would like to put a porch on the front. It would make it look like other houses in the neighborhood. We would like o Charmian Craigie, you submitted some good drawings for the property. Ms. Stallings, SO it is not actually al brick structure? Mr. Moye, no, the brick is just ai façade. Iti is just for looks. Vice-Chairwoman. Boutchyard, 1970s homes used a brick veneer. They have a frame. Mr. Moye, this is not a historic home. We're trying to make it look more historic. Vice-Chairwoman Boutchyard, iti is part oft the Standards to make something look historic when isn't or ofac different period. Mid-century, whilei it may not be a contributing: structure, is still a specific design and: style for the period it was built. I have concerns about it mimicking an older structure and making people think that it is actually older. Mr. Moye, are you familiar with the house behind it on Old Second Street? Vice-Chairwoman Boutchyard, yes. Mr. Moye, that's what we are patterning it after. It is not going to look like a house built in 18 or 1900s. Ms. Stallings, I'm aware ofthe house you are talking about on Old Second Street. It is probably around the same age. It has a front porch and al back deck. They don't look like the older porches type of style. Mr. Moye, it would be very similar to that house. Iwould like to use the Hardiplank because it holds up really well. The  Appropriateness for the following: brick and lattice exterior.  to put a reasonable-sized deck on the back.  (Tuesday, September 7,2021, HPCI Meeting) Revised: September 27, 2021  Page 5of9    house right in front ofi iti is also Hardiplank. It would bes similar to several houses ont the street. Ms. OMr. Moye, thet foundation will be similar to the one behind it and another one on 2nd street. We of Ms. Burdi, the fact that you're raising it, you need to make some changes to combine it all together, instead of just raising a brick ranch. Mr. Moye, we could raise it just as a brick ranch; that was the original thought. Ms. Burdi, Ithink this does it more) justice; iti is a better alternative. o Chairman Craigie, will there be a roof ont the front porch? Mr. Moye, yes, we would tie iti in. Ms. Burdi, will it be an A-line roof? Mr. Moye, yes it willl be similar to the one presented int the packet. oChairman Craigie asked ift the Commission had any more questions. There were none.  Stallings, Ithink that would look appropriate. are going to try to be very similar.  o Chairman Craigie opened the Public Hearing. oS Staff swore in Mary Beedle of 532 East 2nd Street.  ol Ms. Beedle, anything that you approve will be better than what it looks now. lam the one that looks at it the most as la am directly across the street. I will be grateful if you approve anything they do. lam concerned about thei flooding as well. Iwould love you to approve anything they do. OChairman Craigie asked if anyone else would like to speak for or against this item. There were no  comments.  o Chairman Craigie closed the Public Hearing.  o Chairman Craigie brought it back to the table for the Commission to discuss.  o Vice-Chairwoman Boutchyard, It think it should be brick. labsolutely appreciate the owner trying tos save this property rather than demo it. The Standards specifically talk about defining features and materials that have tol be replaced. Ifeel that it should still be brick instead oft the Hardiplank.  Idon't disagree with the raising at all.  o Staff swore in Virginia Finnerty of 400 East Main Street.  o Ms. Finnerty, just want to remind everybody that this gentleman really wants to do something else, all he has to do is wait ay year and tear it down. Then he can do anything he wants. o Chairman Craigie, let's just go ahead and make this request for Hardiplank. Mr. Moye, didn'tyou say you prefer Hardiplank. Mr. Moye, yes, it's more like the house right across the street. Mr. Craigie, instead of leaving a question here, if we are going to make a motion in that favor, let's  just go ahead and state it as Hardiplank. Mr. Moye, that's fine. o Chairman Craigie asked for a motion on the first item.  Kathy Burdi made a motion that the Historic Preservation Commission grant a Certificate of Appropriateness to Everyday Moe, LLC/Moses Moye to make the above changes on the property located at 601 East 2nd Street.

Mr. Moye, there's not really a way to do that from Old Second Street. What would you recommend? Ms. Burdi, do you have any plans for shrubbery? Mr. Moye, Ihaven'treally: addressed that yet. That's something we can look into.Ido what to get with the City. On Old Second Street, there are al lot of drainage issues that are ont the o Vice-Chairwoman Boutchyard, Ithink the concern you guys are bringing up is that the deck can be seen from three different sides. Once he grades it there would have to be a means of egress from both the front door and the back door. Whether it is steps or a deck, there has to be something to get out the back door. Mr. Moye, you will definitely need at least a stoop. Vice- Chairwoman Boutchyard, ifar motion is made ini favor, means of egress can be the reason fort the exception. Chairman Craigie, you're not planning to put any steps off of the back deck? Mr. Moye, there willl be a deck and steps coming down to a concrete area. Ms. Stallings, there isi no back deck there now ist there? Mr. Moye, right, there isj justt thet front. You're really supposed to have al back door. The deck would be part of that. You would walk out ont the deck. Chairman Craigie, soyou're going to have al back door going to the back deck from the house and then stairs coming down to the ground? Mr. Moye, yes, you need al back door. Chairman Craigie, SO what is the issue? Vice- Chairwoman Boutchyard, I have no issue. I'm saying that if a motion is made it can bei for safety and means of egress. There has to be something. Ms. Stallings, are you saying that motion should say that, or are youj just saying that in: support? Vice-Chairwoman Boutchyard, I'm sayingi ifthere's a motion the exception needs to include the reason why. Ms. Burdi, sO the deck would be an exception to our Standards?

Prevention of Demolition by Neglect Update: 238 East: 2nd Street  o Staff, Ididn't feel the need to include 601 tonight for obvious reasons. For 238 E2 2nd Street, the last time Is spoke with the property owner was to try and get him to collect a couple of estimates for1 the work that he has on his Minor' Works. He has now had the application for the Minor Works on the books for about two months. I'mj just trying to keep contact with him to make sure that hei is still moving along. At about three months is probably when I will put al little more pressure on him. He has not put in for an official building permit. The work that he has requested does require al building permit. The only thing that I'm kind of waiting on him to get back to me oni is making sure that he has gotten an estimate. That shows me that hei is communicating with contractors fori the work that he does need to do. oChairman Craigie, did youf find anything else out about the concerns that were raised last month? Staff, understand the neighbors' concerns; however, it is up to the current property owner to resolve those issues. have spoken to him about that. He just needs to get it done. It's only been two months since he submitted the application. Itryt to keepi in touch with him as much as possible. As of right now, he has been cooperative andi is at least communicating what hei is planning to do. His next check-in with me is on the 15th for getting those estimates done.

The selected firm would also examine the feasibility of adding modern materials as an acceptable option within the Design Standards. The Standards are used to assist the HPC in making defensible determinations regarding proposed work to properties within the Washington Historic District. There have been minor additions and modifications to the Standards throughout the years, but the document as a whole has not gone through a full review or an update within the last decade, thus there is a need to revise and expand the existing document. The final product should be a user-friendly document that addresses modern preservation practices that may be used as a tool for citizens, the HPC, and City staffto preserve the historic character of Washington. For this project the City of Washington City Council has  allocated $25,000.  102 East. Second.
