Address: 515 NE 101st Street Request: 1. Repairs to existing exterior finishes, such as stucco, exterior paint, replacement of roofing material and the preservation of the original chimney vents, as part of a comprehensive exterior improvement project. Exhibit 1 HP-25-100-Staff Memo.pdf Exhibit 2 HP-25-100-COA Application.pdf Exhibit 3 HP-25-100-Imagery.pdf Exhibit 4 HP-25-100-Proposed Plans.pdf Mr. Nunez began introducing the item, the staff report for the Certificate of Appropriateness at 515 NE 101 Street. The Historic Preservation Board tabled the application at the January 26, 2026, meeting. The applicant has since updated the application to include restoring the stucco, returning the chimney ziggurats to their original historic positions, reinstalling the original entry door, replacing the roof with Cuban tiles, restoring the original awnings, and repairing/restoring the privacy wall and planters. Staff is recommending approval based on the conditions outlined the staff report. 6:49 PM Mr. Angrist presented samples for the sconces and front door handle. Ms. Correa asked if the original sconces were salvaged; the applicant responded they were not. The Board noted the proposed sconces appeared to be modern and requested the applicant to find a replacement that replicates the original. Mr. Angrist mentioned the General Contractor would arrive shortly with samples. Chair Headley asked if the Cuban barrel tiles for the roof would be darker. Mr. Angrist stated they could select terracotta or coffee colors. Ms. Correa advised that a physical sample is sufficient, and a rendering is not necessary. Mr. Angrist stated a preference for the black and white awnings instead of the original red color. Ms. Correa noted missing details in the elevations, including the ziggurats, floor - to-ceiling dimensions for the ziggurat chimney and updating the front door notation in the legend from “replaced in kind” to “restored” per the letter of intent. Ms. Correa itemized the missing items: sconce selections, Cuban barrel tile colors, door noted as restored, not replaced, and ziggurat details. 3 706 PM Mr. Nunez stated that two individuals would review the applicant’s plans for project visualization. Ms. Correa recommended tabling the application until the next HPB meeting so the applicant can provide the requested samples and elevations, including the ziggurat roof, awnings, and roof tile colors to allow the Board to approve the application without speculative conditions. Mr. Angrist noted that the interior renovations have been on hold for nearly four months. Mr. Nunez clarified that the Board cannot approve part of the application without approving the entire project. He further added that he would coordinate with the building official regarding the applicant’s request to call for inspections for interior work only. Mr. Angrist emphasized that the hold primarily affects interior inspections for drywall and insulation placement. 721P.M. Ms. Correa noted that the proposed stucco is sufficient and resembles the original façade. 7:23PM Ms. Correa makes a motion to request the applicant to bring the missing information for approval at the next Historic Preservation Board meeting and to table the item. Ms. Bonaduce seconds the motion. All in favor: 4-0 Motion passes, application tabled for next HPB meeting. 7:24 P.M. 6.B. Inventory List of Historically Significant Homes Exhibit 1 Bonaduce_Homes Inventory List.pdf Exhibit 2 Correa-Spirk_Homes Inventory List.pdf Exhibit 3 Saadeh_Homes Inventory List.pdf Mr. Saadeh makes a motion to approve Ms. Bonaduce list. Ms. Correa seconds. All in favor: 4-0 The Board reviewed the additional list provided by Mr. Saadeh and Ms. Correa discussing objections. One of the homes listed in under 50 years old (the pink house) was included due to its architectural significance. Mr. Saadeh noted homes were included if additions did not affect the façade. Ms. Bonaduce stated that any homes selected by the Board should be approved as historically significant. She volunteered to combine all homes into a clean master list to submit to Mr. Nunez and suggested creating a brochure highlighting all homes that have architectural significance. Mr. Saadeh requested removal of 448 NE 96th Street. He will update his list, remove duplicates from Ms. Correa’s list and finalize it for review at the next meeting. 4 Ms. Bonaduce will make the necessary updates and forward to staff once complete. The Board will review the final list before submission to the Village Council. 7. BOARD MEMBER COMMENTS- Mr. Saadeh and Ms. Headley will not be attending the next meeting.
