Summary
Staff told the Historic Preservation Commission about planned DNR historic preservation training (June, via Zoom) and possible window restoration workshops; commissioners and staff agreed to follow up with a property owner about an altered door/window on 11th Street near East Bend Grill.
At the April 27 meeting the Lafayette City Historic Preservation Commission received a staff report on outreach and continuing education and heard a public comment about altered storefront components on 11th Street.
Staff said the Public Relations & Education and District committees had not met this month and that training opportunities are being scheduled. “DNR is looking to do camp again in June, all on Zoom,” the staff member said, adding the sessions would count toward commissioners’ continuing‑education credits. Staff also said landmark groups have run window‑restoration demonstrations in nearby towns and she will explore whether similar workshops can be scheduled locally.
During public comment and member discussion a commissioner raised a concern about a storefront door/window on 11th Street between Main and Ferry near the East Bend Grill that appears to have nonhistoric metal doors or altered window muntins. The commissioner said the property owner (referred to in the transcript as Andrew Stanky or similar) had previously been told by staff that certain muntins could be installed after internal approval. Staff said she would follow up by email and noted she had previously allowed some muntin work after internal approval; she will contact the owner again about completing the work approved by staff.
The meeting adjourned after the chair called for a motion and members voted to adjourn.
