HEMA No. 2023-07 – The Dehne Apts. No 1 (1102 North Lacy Street) October 5, 2023 Page 7 3 7 2 9 Overall, the staircase will maintain a simple aesthetic that is as close as possible to the original design. The two existing exterior wood staircases with concrete steps at the east façade will also be modified to satisfy building code requirements. The southern-most staircase at the east façade, which has previously been modified with metal handrails and guardrails, will be rehabilitated with wood materials for the handrails and guardrails. The new design will be close as possible to the original while meeting building code, and will match the same handrail and guardrail design that is proposed for the new staircase at southwest corner. Additionally, the northern-most staircase at the east façade, which has not been altered, will be modified to match the new handrail and guardrail design of the other two staircases. Administrative Exterior Alterations The following list includes items the property owner has agreed to restore, like-for-like, to match what was previously removed. These items do not require discretionary action and therefore are not included as part of this HEMA request, but are included in this report to complete the entire project description. •Restore the primary (south) façade’s original apartment entrance door frame molding; •Restore all wood shutters on the primary (south and east) facades; •Restore all nine (9) original main entrance apartment doors (located at the west, south, and east facades) which featured a six-panel wood door with brass hardware and a Judas window; and •Restore both original wood garage doors at the attached garage and the single north-most garage door at the detached garage (three garage doors in total). Analysis of the Issues The proposed project, as conditioned, will follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (SOIS) for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring, & Reconstructing Historic Buildings (Kay D. Weeks and Anne E. Grimmer, revised 2017). The proposed exterior modifications, as conditioned, would be considered a rehabilitation project and as such be evaluated against ten criteria. Staff has reviewed the proposed modifications in comparison to the SOIS. The following is a review of the findings as they pertain to the applicable criteria: 1. A property will be used as it was historically or be given a new use that requires minimal changes to its distinctive materials, features, spaces, and spatial relationships.
