Code § 74.64; and WHEREAS, the said staff report contained the following Findings and Staff Recommendation to approve the said application, subject to stated conditions: FII�DINGS 1. The property listed above is located in the Hill Historic District and the National Register Hill Historic District and is classified as pivotal to the Hill District. 2. The proposal to lower the grade on the alley side complies with the guidelines because parking access is off of the alley and to the side of the building, not at the front. The visual sweep of pavement is separated from the building with lawn and complies with the guidelines. Shrubs or other landscaping were not noted to screen the cars and the guidelines state "All parking spaces should be adequately screened from the street and sidewalk by landscaping." A landscape plan was not submitted. 3. On the alley side of the property exists an historic iron fence which is an important and contributing historic feature. The fencing could be salvaged and used to screen the parking or placed near the side entries. 4. There is no roof demolition plan and the roof plan (A201) does not show the existing boiler chimney, which is of a substantial size and has corbelling at the crown. Removal of historic features is not recommended by the guidelines, however, the needed changes in the interior underneath the chixnney may not allow for the above roof portion to be stabilized and supported. It is located on the alley toward the back of the property. 5. The roof penthouses, clad in a red metal to blend in with the roof shingle, will have visibility from street level. At an earlier meeting, staff suggested the architect explore a penthouse-type structure to mimic older skylights instead of RESOLUTION CITY OF SAINT PAUL, NIINNESOTA v� �oa 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 building dormers on one side, however, the metal, boxy shape does not have similar detailing as an older penthouse. The roof is a simple feature with a low slope and a symmetrical form. The addition of inechanical vents should be kept as visually unobtrusive as possible and reinforce the symmetry of the building. 6. The red asphalt shingle proposed for the roof complies with the guidelines. The additional height of the new insulated roof should have a minimal impact to the existing metal cornices; however, the removal and covering of the built-in gutters and the addition of exterior gutters will have a negative impact and is not recommended by the guidelines that state "The original roof type, slope, and overhangs should be preserved." 7. The overall repair and tuckpoinung of the brick appears to comply with preservation standards and any cleaning shall be done with the gentlest means possible. The proposal to remove the existing coating of the concrete and to apply a"Flexcoat" may not be an appropriate technique to preserve the texture and joint lines originally installed. The guidelines state "The original color and texture of masonry surfaces should be retained. While unpainted masonry surfaces should not be painted, paint should not be indiscriminately removed from masonry surfaces because some brick surfaces were originally meant to be painted." The SOI Standazds for Rehabilitation address the need for research and investigative work to determine original finishes and to repair materials using like materials and replicating textures and profiles. The wann cream color is appropriate and this color was changed from the concept review with HPC feedback. 8. The small two-story annex that exists is not considered a character-defining feature even though the annex may be original or an early addition. Partial removal of this annex will not have a negative impact to the site or district. 9. The guidelines state "Contemporary design for alterations and additions to existing properties shall not be discouraged when such altexcarions and additions do not destroy significant historical, architectural or cultural material and such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material, and character of the property, neighborhood or environment." The proposed new addition recalls the pilasters in the main building but in a simplified form. Using Mill finish (silver) aluminum is not recommended by the Hill District Design Guidelines that state "Appropriately colored ar bronze-toned aluminum is acceptable. Mill finish (silver) aluminum should be avoided." Traditional windows, such as double- hungs are preferred for new construction and if casement ar fixed windows are approved they should have a proportion that relates well to existing openings on the building. The alterations to the existing brick base to accommodate the new entry are minimal and will not have a negative impact. 10. If new storm windows are to be installed, they should match the existing as close as possible. 11. Installing a louver on the front facade where a door is located is not ideal; however, if it is appropriately designed and the opening still recalls a door, then the impact may be minimized. The side elevation where a window will become a louver is on a street elevation but is toward the back of the building where its impact may be minimal. 07 �v� 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 14-0 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 12. The proposal to replace the four original stained glass windows on the front facade second floor with cleaz glass, anodized aluminum fixed-framed units does not comply with the guidelines that state "Existing window and door openings should be retained" and "The stylistic period(s) a building represents should be respected. If replacement of window sash or doors is necessary, the replacement should duplicate the material design and hardware of the older window sash or door." The guidelines state that anodized aluminum is not appropriate and appropriate finishes aze paint for wood or bronze-toned aluminum. Completely removing character-defining windows on a primary elevation would negatively impact the integrity and sib ificance of the building. 13. The proposal to replace the three main double doors with new doors of anodized aluminum and glass also does not comply with the guidelines cited in Finding 12 above. The doors are solid wood with recessed panels and are an important character-defining feature. 14. The glass block insets at the landing of the main stairs were likely an original or early design feature that allowed for light into the lower level. These types of features should be preserved or at a minimum recalled in some way. The proposed coating for the stairs will be acceptable provided the texture and color closely matches the existing. 15. The stained-glass windows that are part of the main sanctuary (theater} space will be blocked-in from the interior and no artificial lighring of the windows is being proposed. Staff has concerns that blocking the windows form the interior will hinder access for continuing maintenance and repair, as no repair of the windows are planned at this time. 16. The plans note that the majority of the interior spaces will be removed and while interior review of historic spaces is not part of the HPC's review, however, documentation of all demolition work will be important for this structure. 17. The new lettering proposed for the front elevation will not have a negative impact to the overall integrity and significance of the property. While the guidelines do not recommend anodized aluminum for windows and doors, this type of finish has been accepted by the HPC in the past; most recently the, Como Conservatory. Any other banners or signage are not included in this review. 18. Floodlighting a historic building isn't always appropriate, especially if the installation of lighting requires exposed conduit and additional attachments into the elevations. Detailing of the fixtures, wattage and attachment specs were not provided. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the findings, staff recommends approval of the application provided the following conditions be met: 1. A landscape plan be submitted that will propose proper screening of the parking spaces in the alley. A detail of the trash enclosure be provided to staff for final review and approval. The historic fence along the a11ey be salvaged for reuse and a plan for reinstallation and location be submitted to staff for final review and approval. 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 2. The roof penthouses be redesigned to be less visually obtrusive.

The finish on the new addition windows, doors and awning be changed from an anodized aluminum to a color painted finish or a darker metal color. 7. Any new storm windows shall match the existing flush wood storms as close as possible. 8. The proposed louver on the front elevation be redesigned to recall the full opening of the door. A final drawing be submitted to staff for review and approval. 9. The four windows proposed for replacement on the front elevation will not be approved for replacement. They shall be retained and repaired as the other windows. 10. The three double doors on the front elevation will be retained and repaired. It will be acceptable to replace the four upper recessed panels with glass to allo�v for more light and to replace the hardware to comply with codes. 11. The glass block insets and the upper landing will be allowed to be removed, but there sha11 be a change in color, design or texture to recall the openings. 12. The attachment of the signage will be minimized. No lighting is a part of this signage proposal. 13. A detail of the floodlights will be submitted to staff far review and approval. The wattage will be kept low and its installation shall have minimal impact to the building. 14. Documentation requirements: Due to the significance of the building and the level of demolition taking place on the interior, photo documentation will be required for the interior lobby and sanctuary spaces (especially of the windows from the interior) and a representative sample of the lower level. Photo documentation is also required on all exterior elevations. Small-format black and white is recommended by staff. This documentation shall be completed prior to any work. 15.

We believe that Condition #9 was not an accurate record of the decision of HPC meeting on December 21, 2006. Condiuon #9 stated that "The four windows proposed for repiacement on the front elevation will not be approved for replacement. They shall be retained and repaired as the other windows: ' We attended both HPC's Concept Review meeting on February 23, 2006 and Final Review meeting on December 21, 2006. In both meetings, majority of the commissioners favored removing the four stained glass windows below the half round transoms on the main level on the front elevation and replacing them with cleaz glass windows to allow more visibility of the lobby from the street. We asked Paul Lazson, the HPC Chair, about this matter after we received the decision letter; and Mr. Larson's recollection was the same as ours. We did try to appeal to HPC; unfortunately we missed the deadline because of the Holidays. We sincerely request the City Council to review this matter and give us the permission to replace the four stained glass windows with clear glass windows, which we believe is the actual decision by the Heritage Preservation Commission. Thank you very much for your consideration.

Page 1 of Z D�'�� i � Amy Spong - Stepping Stone Theater From: "ROBERT HENGELFELT" To: "Amy Spong" Date: 2/16/2007 12:32 PM Subject: Stepping Stone Theater �� j' L� �o. o�--a�l � Hi Amy, Since I will not be able to attend the February 21st hearing regarding the Stepping Stone Theater's renovation, I would like to make my opinion known. This letter addresses an email that has been sent out by a member of our community encouraging people to support the Stepping Stone's appeal for design changes to the building. While, as you know, I wholeheartedly support the Theater's plans to move into the neighborhood and to renovate Yhe building, I disagree with this neighbor's argument for allowing the the doors to be replaced and the leaded glass to be removed. Maintaining the leaded glass and wooden doors is essential to the preservation of the building's character. I have copied the bullet points from the the letter and highiighted my responses: . We believe that ciear glass wili provide an open and weicoming appearance to the building give the clear impression that Stepping Stone Theatre is an active part of the life of our neighborhood. There are many ways to give a building a"welcoming appearance" with out eliminating the building's defining features. A creative use of lighting can work wonders. Leaving the wood doors fixed open and installing glass doors behind them might also create the desired efFect. I am sure there are other options as weli. IYs possible to make it welcoming but the building is already quite attractive as it is! . Knowing that the building will be utilized by a large number of children, it will provide Stepping Stone staff and parents a better opportunity to monitor children's behaviors on the steps providing increased safety. Again, glass doors could be installed without jeopardizing the appearance of the building. . Clear glass doors and windows would increase security/safety in that Stepping Stone staff would have a greater abiliry to see outside the building and appmpriate2y morutor/supervise activities; while neighbors would be able to better see if there is questionable activity going on inside the building during off hours and be able to notify authorifies. �• I do not see how removing the leaded glass would help with security or monitoring the students' activities since the windows are above eye Ievei. Again, if this is really an issue, there are more creative ways to deal with this. Lets not forget that this building is quite stunning as it is. It is also a historic structure and this needs to be respected. file://C:�Doctunents and Settings\Spongamy�L,ocal Settings\Temp�XPgrpwisa\45DSA457L... 2/21/2007 February 19, �007 Council Member Debbie Montgomery • st.

As neighbors of the building, we strongly support the preservation of the current structure. However, after review of the architecYs rendering of tiie renovations for the buiIding, we do support SteppingStone's decision to utilize clear glass for the front of the building for the following reasons: • We believe that clear glass will provide an open and welcomin� appeazance to the building give the clear impression that SteppingStotte Theatre is an active part of the life of our neighborhood. • Knowing that the building will be utilized by a large number of children, it will provide SteppingStone staff and pazents a better opportunity to monitor children's behaviors on the steps providing increased safety. • Cleaz glass doors and windows would increase security/safety in that SteppingStone staff . would have a greater ability to see outside the building and appropriately monitor/supervise activities; while neighbors would be able to better see if there is guestionable activity going on inside the buiiding during offfiours and be able to notify authorities. For thase reasons, we request that you support SteppingStone Theatre's appeal of the Heritage Preservafion Cotnniission's decision.

I live in the Ramsey Hill azea, so am well awaze of, and appreciate the importance of, historic preservation. However, there are times when exceptions need to be made. The building has been standing vacant for years and we now have aa organization willing to put it to good use, but not as a church. Thus, some concessions need to be made. The requested cfianges, to replace the colored windows and put in a gIass door, are intended to make the space safer for the actors and more attractive to those attending theater (who do not want to be in a church). None of the changes aze permanent changes to the structure; they can all be "undone" if the building is used as a church in the future. I hope you will support SteppingStone in tlus request Leah Harvey 2/21/2007 Febmary 19, 2007 Council Member Llebbie Moatgomery St Paul City Council Room 31fl-A City Hall St Paui, MN 55102 I�ar Councl Member Mo�gomery, �� '� �" We are writing to you regarding the upcaming heazing before tbe City Cow�i1 on Febcuary 21�` to consider the appeat by SteppingSWne 1�eah� of the Heritage Pre�vation Commission's decision req�ing the retention of the stained glass windows aad solid wood doors at their new buildiag at 55 North V'ictoria.
