HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION
The Heritage Preservation Commission met November 7, 1988 at 7:00 P.M. in the
Maunsell Conference Room of the Stillwater Public Library.
Present: Ray Zaworski, Dick Hauer, Shirley Tibbetts, Maurice Stenerson,
Maureen Lodge.
Absent: Marlene Workman, Terry Alliband.
Others: Ann Pung - Terwedo.
1. The Commission reviewed and commented on the construction and site plan
for a new hone at 515 South Broadway.
Shirley Tibbetts felt that the home was interesting and wasn't an
intrusion on the neighborhood.
Mr. Stenerson felt the home was out of scale for the neighborhood.
He believed that because of the lack of information on
building materials, it was hard to make a definite judgment on the
home.
2. Mr. Stenerson discussed his meeting with the owners of the Kolliner
Building and State Historical Society. The Mason's own the building and
would like to place it on the National Register. However, a new survey and
nomination form must be completed in order to determine its eligibility.
The Masons concluded that they would wait until the Downtown Historic
Survey was completed. The Kolliner (Staples) building will be considered a
contributing building to a district, thereby eligible to receive the same
tax incentives as an individual nomination. Work on the building will
begin this summer.
3. The Commission reviewed and commented on the storefront renovation of the
Eagles /Gaalaas Jewelry building on South Main Street. The reasons that the
architect chose this design was because of the insurance costs related to
window size. If the windows were smaller for display purposes, the
insurance costs would be decreased drastically.
Some Commission members felt the design of the storefront is not
compatible to the historic integrity of Downtown Stillwater.
- Maureen liked the basic concept because she can sympathize with the
dilemma the jewelry store is facing.
- Dick responded by discussing the specific use but still agreed that
from an Historic Preservation standpoint, it doesn't work.
4. The Heritage Preservation Commission like the new siding on Staples Mill.
It is in keeping with the historic image of the building.
5. The Heritage Preservation Commission will meet next Wednesday, November
16th, to pull building permits of downtown structures.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 P.M.
