WHEREAS, the Saint Paul Heritage Preservarion Commission (HPC) is authorized by Chapter

WHEREAS, the existing structure ott the site is the Charles Chase House, a two-story, Italianate
style, clapboard sided structure conshucted in 1880 and is characterized as pivotal to the
chazacter of the district; and
WHEREAS, the following citation in the City's Legislative Code concerning HPC review of
building permits for additions or alterations:
Chapter 73, Heritage Preservation Commission; Section 73.06, Review of pernuts;
Paragraph (i), Factors to be considered:
Before approving any permit application required under paragraph (d) of this section to

findings based on the program for the preservation and architectural conh�ol for the

HPC Resolution re: 410 Eichenwald Street / File #4064
21 September 2000
IV. Sec. 74.87. {5) The impact of alterations or additions on individual buildings as well as on
the surrounding streetscape will be considered; major alterations to buildings wluch occupy a
�orner lot or are otherwise prominently sited should be avoided.
N. Sec. 74.87. (6) iVew construction should be compatihle with the historic and azchitectural
character of the disirict.
a� ���
IV. Sec. 74.88. Restoration and rehabilitation. (6) Decks. Decks should be consmicted only at
the rear of the building or where most inconspicuous. Railings, steps and other deck details
should be comparible with the arciutectural character of the building.
IV. Sec. 74.88. (7) Firestairs. The detailing of firestairs should be compatible with the period
and style of the building. Firestairs should be located as inconspicuously as possible.
WIIEREAS, the Saint Paul Heritage Preservation Commission, based apon the evidence
presented at its August 24, 2000 pubiic heating on said pernut applicafion, made the following
findings of fact concerning the replacement of the an existing, reaz second story deck:
The proposed deck and stairway does not conform to the Dayton's Biuff Heritage
Preservation Distdct design review guidelines. 'The deck would be incompatible with the
historic character and architectural integrity of the shucture and the district. It wouid
appear as a large attachment or appendage to Che house rather than a deck that is
integrated into the design of the b¢iiding. The deck would be conspicuous and visible
from the street.
2. The fact that the proposed deck addition would be a reversible alteration does not make
the deck proposal acceptable given finding #1 above.
Decisions of the Heritage Preservation Commission are fmal, subject to appeai to the City Council within 14
days by anyone affected by the decision. This resoiutiou does not obviate the need for meeting applicable
building and zoning cade requirements, and does not constitute approval for tax credits.
