<br />- Is the building and the land to the west for sale? Mr. Greatens: Yes, 711 <br />Kingsland Avenue and 701 Trinity Avenue. <br />- It would be a shame if anyone came to the HPC with a demolition permit for the <br />building. It would be a hard sell to the HPC. <br />- Who was the architect? Mr. Greatens: William Ittner. <br />- A critical part of reusing the building would be to look at how it was constructed <br />and if it would allow for interior renovations. Any developer would be looking for <br />that. <br />- Is it also in a national district? Mr. Greatens: No. <br />- This is a key structure in the Historic District (local) and the project would be <br />scrutinized closely. Whoever buys the property should be aware of all criteria the <br />HPC is responsible for. <br />- A lot of historic significance has to do with design and there might be <br />opportunities to be creative for adaptive use such as maintaining the core of the <br />building and the design. Demolition would be a hard sell. <br /> <br />One member of the public asked to address the Commission. <br /> <br />This member of the public stated that it would be important to keep the main façade of <br />the building intact and not to increase the height of the building. He stated he would like <br />to see creative reuse of the structure. In addition, he stated that being adjacent to a <br />residential area is also critical. <br /> <br /> <br />c.
