The Crown Point Redevelopment Commission approved a $50,000 facade reimbursement for 209 South Main Street after staff and the petitioner confirmed the project would be adjusted to meet historic-district standards.

Speaker 4 introduced the application for 209 South Main and said the project includes two street-facing facades (South Main and Hack Court) with work on windows, doors, tuckpointing, signage, railings and fencing. The transcript reports a total project cost of $189,970 and that, under the grant terms, the petitioner requested $25,000 per facade for a total reimbursement request of $50,000.

Commissioner (Speaker 3) noted the packet renderings originally proposed EIFS — a material not permitted in the historic district — and said the petitioner agreed to work with the Historic Preservation Commission to revise the designs and “take it back to more original brick.” The petitioner (identified in the meeting as Eric Lindemolder) confirmed ongoing dialogue with preservation staff.

Speaker 3 moved to approve the $50,000 reimbursement; the motion was seconded and passed on roll call. The transcript records approvals without conditions attached beyond the petitioner’s stated willingness to revise materials to meet historic-preservation standards.
