Commission grants 90-day priority to street-facing repairs at 111 South 2nd, allows up to six months for full work
Summary
After reviewing progress on the minimum-maintenance plan for 111 South 2nd Street, the Historic Preservation Commission required the owner to complete the primary street-facing facade within 90 days and noted a six-month window for the remaining work; the motion passed unanimously.
The Historic Preservation Commission voted Feb. 2 to require prioritized completion of the street-facing facade at 111 South 2nd Street within 90 days and allowed up to six months for the entire minimum-maintenance plan.
Staff opened item 25-009 by noting the six-month deadline for the maintenance plan had expired and recapping prior submissions, including structural engineering for a tower on the property. The owner, identified in the transcript as "Mister Ladd," attended and described the scope of the work completed and outstanding.
Mister Ladd said crews rebuilt dozens of windows and that most of the lower display windows and trim have been restored. He estimated roughly 60% of the front/street-level work is complete and described remaining metal and rivet work on upper bays that requires more time and different trades. He also said enforcement actions have resulted in over $1,000 in citations to date.
Commissioners and staff questioned the owner about scheduling and capacity. Staff member Monica recommended a six-month extension overall but asked that the eight front windows and the trim above three garage doors be prioritized and completed within 60 to 90 days, and requested updated photos be provided to staff (Dan) during that period.
After further discussion, Commissioner Daryl Covington moved to grant a 90-day extension for the primary street-facing facade; Steven Harrison seconded. The commission approved the motion on a unanimous roll-call vote. The commission also agreed to place remaining minimum-maintenance items back on a future agenda if progress needs further review.
The decision gives the owner a short, enforceable priority for public-facing work while allowing a longer window to finish ancillary repairs; staff will collect progress photos and may revisit the Bluebell project and other related minimum-maintenance matters at a subsequent meeting.
