The structure was constructed in 1959 and is identified as a noncontributing building within the Historic Downtown District. The building entrance is located at the rear of the property, behind Second Street, and faces the City’s public parking lot, the East Lot. The proposed remodel includes the installation of board and batten siding, shutters around the windows, and a new awning. The applicant is also proposing to install new gooseneck light fixtures on the façade above the awning. Staff has discussed the proposed design with the applicant. The proposed shutters will be constructed on site using cedar. Staff also discussed the placement of the sign on the awning with the applicant, who is aware that the sign should be relocated to the awning valance. ## Figure 1_440 Second Street - Existing Page 5 of 78 Figure 2 Pattern of surrounding properties ## HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION REVIEW 440 Second Street is a noncontributing property, and the new tenant’s primary entrance will be accessed from the East Parking Lot. Staff has reviewed the proposal under the design guidelines applicable to back entries and additions. The existing rear entrance differs from the building’s front brick façade. The City’s design guidelines for rear elevations and entrances recognize that rear walls are typically of lesser significance and generally contain fewer character-defining elements; therefore, alterations to these areas may often be accommodated with fewer adverse impacts to the historic significance of the property. Because the proposed improvements are located entirely at the rear of the structure, the applicant should provide additional information about how the proposed façade will to the connect to the building’s side elevation. ## Back Entries and Additions Guidelines BEA.1 Improvements to a back entry should reflect the elements and detailing of the main building. Depending upon the scope of the project, these may include signage, light fixtures, awnings and color selection. The design elements are different from the front façade but do share design elements with neighboring properties along the East Lot. BEA.2 The height/width ratio of rear windows should reflect the height/width ratio of street front windows. The applicant is not proposing any changes to the existing windows. BEA.4 For rear elevations to become inviting for customers and tenants, the ground floor needs to have attractive entrances, or storefronts for retail display. Loading dock Page 6 of 78 doors can be converted to storefronts and entrances. The proposed design is consistent with neighboring properties and will provide an inviting entrance to customers and those using the East Parking Lot. BEA.5 The addition of decorative elements, such as trim and cornices, depends upon the date and style of the building. Rear elevations in the historic area should retain their simple design quality in most cases. However, the use of awnings and attractive signage will make the elevation more appealing for pedestrian traffic. The proposed design is simple and will make the property more attractive to pedestrians. BEA.6 Install adequate lighting for customer and store security. Ensure that the design of the lighting relates to the historic character of the building. The applicant proposes to add three new goose neck lights to the building. The applicant should confirm that the placement will not change if they move the sign to the valance. The applicant could provide further information about the proposed lights and staff should review the design of the proposed light fixtures before they are installed. BEA.8 Rear entrances on existing buildings shall clearly be secondary entrances and avoid the appearance of a primary façade. The design will give the appearance of a primary entrance; however, the design is consistent with the adjacent properties. The unique placement of this building, between Second Street and the East Lot, means it functions practically with two main entrances – one facing Second Street and one facing the East Lot. W.12. Shutters should not be used on buildings not originally designed for them. The design includes shutters on the second story windows. The HPC should discuss if the removal of the shutters from the façade would be more appropriate. Page 7 of 78 ## Recommended Action: Staff recommends that the HPC approve the Site Alteration Permit with conditions and direct staff to draft a resolution for approval at the September 22, 2026 meeting. ## Proposed Conditions 1. The plans shall be consistent with the plans included in the August 25, 2026, Heritage Preservation Commission Packet. 2. The proposed second story shutters shall not be included in the final design. 3. The Site Alteration Permit shall expire one year from the date of adoption of the resolution if not acted upon. 4. All signage proposed for the awning shall be located on the valance. 5. Staff shall review and approve the design of lighting fixtures prior to installation. ## Budget: ## Attachments: ## 1. 440 Second Street Application Materials Page 8 of 78 Page 9 of 78 Page 10 of 78 Page 11 of 78 Page 12 of 78 Page 13 of 78 Page 14 of 78 Page 15 of 78 Page 16 of 78 Page 17 of 78 Page 18 of 78 Item: 5.B. ## ITEM REPORT ## To: Heritage Preservation Commission ## From: Amy Lucas, Historic Consultant, Julia Mullin, Community Development Director, ## Jess Long, City Planner ## Meeting Date: August 25, 2026 ## Department/Office: Community Development Item Name: 300 Water Street Site Alteration Permit - New Construction of Commercial ## Building ## Summary: 60/120 Day Deadlines: 9/25/2026 and 11/24/2026 ## Background and Application Don Cheech, LLC, owner of 300 Water Street, has submitted a Site Alteration Permit application, to demolish the non-contributing building at 300 Water Street and construct a new, two-story brick commercial building on the parcel. A signage design is also proposed for two elevations of the building. ## Background: The site at 300 Water Street is within the Excelsior Commercial Historic District. The period of significance for the historic district is 1886-1955. At the hearing of March 3, 2026, the HPC approved the demolition of the non- contributing building in the district conditioned on approval of final plans for the construction of a new building. At that hearing, the HPC reviewed preliminary designs for the construction of a new two-story commercial building on the site and provided feedback. Commissioners discussed building materials and the proposed primary entrance from Third Street. Staff also discussed new signage and zoning requirements for new signs in the Downtown District. ## Proposed Alterations New Construction: The applicant proposes to construct a two-story, commercial building near the corner of Third and Water Street. The proposed building will measure 61’ by 61’ and will be 30’ tall with a flat roof. At the previous HPC hearing the building measured 26’6” at the parapet. The height variance will was reviewed by the Planning Commission on August 24, 2026. A switchback exterior stair is proposed at the rear (northwest); stair materials and design details are unknown. The roof plans and HVAC placement are unclear because roof plans were not submitted. There is a 10’ by 10’ trash enclosure proposed near rear Page 19 of 78 stair; the survey shows that the enclosure will have a 6’ black chain-link fence. Staff has clarified that the enclosure must be compatible with the principal building. The applicant’s narrative indicates that the brick used in the principal structure will also be used for the trash enclosures. There are 14 surface parking spaces proposed at the rear of the building. The building will be clad in red brick at all elevations and will have a cast concrete foundation (height unknown) and a cornice. The plans note that the cornice is black metal and the written narrative says the cornice is cement board. Three cast concrete bands (width unknown) are proposed at all four elevations; two bands will serve as the first and second floor sills. Entrances are proposed at all four elevations (door details unknown). Black aluminum windows are proposed at all four elevations. Window openings at the street-facing elevations (Water and Third Street) and parking lot (northwest) are arranged in bands and separated by brick spacers. All openings have a fixed, 12” tall transom. The Water Street (southeast) elevation will have four “automatic fold up garage door tilting single panel” windows at the first floor. The narrative says the windows will have divided lights, but the plans do not show this type of window. Specifications of the windows with exact measurements of sill, muntins, header were not provided. A specification for the hydraulic jack for the garage door windows was provided, but the visibility of this system from the exterior of the building is unknown. Openings at the second floor will have five sashes with coordinating fixed transoms; the end units will pivot open at each bay. The Third Street (northeast) elevation openings are similar to Water Street, but only one garage door (overhead door) is proposed at the first floor. All other windows openings will have fixed sash with tilt windows at the ends. Page 20 of 78 The rear (northwest) elevation faces the parking lot. The windows at this elevation are bands with transoms. Windows at the end bays pivot to open. A stair (materials and design unknown) accesses the second floor at this elevation. 1. Signage: The building plans and the written narrative for signage do not align. 1. The plans indicate one sign at the Water Street (southeast) elevation. ## The sign reads “Stanley’s Lake Place Burgers-Pizzas-shakes.” The sign is located at the center of the elevation above and below the concrete band. The written narrative explains that the first line of signage for “Stanley’s” is 22” tall by 14.7’ wide; the second line reads “Lake Place” and is 14” tall and 11.4” wide. The third line of “Burgers Pizza Shakes” is 10” tall and approximately 11.4” wide. This is actually closer to 53 sf of signage and not 40 sf as indicated in the narrative. Another sign in the written narrative has two lines instead of three lines of signage as seen on the plans. The materials and installation of the letters is not indicated. The narrative notes that goose neck lights will light the sign; but specifications/details/location of goose neck lights is unknown. 2. The plans do not show the Third Steet signage, but the written narrative proposes a blade sign measuring 24” by 24” with a 36” projection. It is unclear if the projection is additional or if the rod holding the blade sign is 12”. Actual signage plans identified on the building would clear the confusion of the written narrative. It is unclear if this sign is back-lit or lighted by goose necks lights. 3. The written narrative also proposes an “ENTRANCE” sign that measure 48” by 14”. The placement, lighting and installation of this sign are unknown. Page 21 of 78 ## Applicable Standards and Analysis Chapter 20-Historic Preservation of the Excelsior Code of Ordinances and the City of ## Excelsior Preservation Design Manual-Guidelines and The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards apply: ## 1. New Construction 2. Signage The guidelines state that “inappropriate signs” are “large project signs, rooftop signs, and internally illuminated awnings and signs.” Page 22 of 78 Page 23 of 78 Applying Chapter 20-Historic Preservation of the Excelsior Code of Ordinances and City ## of Excelsior Preservation Design Manual-Landmark Guidelines 1. New Construction-The SAP application lacks window details, but the design in the plans appears to meet the Preservation Design Manual guidelines for new construction. The written narrative does not match the plans. The design appears to meet the guidelines for height, proportion, setbacks, orientation, spacing, roof shape, proportion of openings, and materials. The drawings present full-panel glass with transoms, but the written narrative notes that there will be divided lights. Additionally, the width of the rails, headers and muntins is unknown and it is unclear if the proposed window systems are too thick in appearance. The window details and door types are unknown. The details/materials/design of the rear stair are unknown. 2. Signage-The proposed signage should be placed at the traditional sign location. The plans and the written narrative do not align and the signage is difficult to Page 24 of 78 review. Building plans should always reflect the proposed design and are the only way for the City to complete the review and approval. It is unclear where the sign will be located and how it is attached to the building. The current signage on the plan/elevations covers more than a sign band location and extends the full- width between the first and second floors. The additional wording of the sign causes visual clutter (CS.7) and the signs are not in proportion to the building (CS.9). It is unclear if the sign attachment parts protect the building materials (CS.10) or are anchored in the mortar joints (CS.11). The materials of the signs are unknown. Internally-lit or flashing signs are not allowed in the district (CS.26). The location and design of the gooseneck lighting has not been provided. The quality of the visual environment in the district should not be eroded by inappropriate franchise designs and signage (CS.20). While the signage is not for a franchise there are additional descriptors on the building that are not typical in the historic district. Tenants do not typically advertise beyond the business name and the additional descriptors of “burgers pizza shakes” is visual clutter. Additionally, the entrance to the restaurant appears clear and the “entrance” sign may be removed. Internally lit signs are not allowed in the district. ## Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. 2026-08 Approving the Site Alteration Permit for construction of a building at 300 Water Street with conditions as noted in the resolution. ## Budget: ## Attachments: 1. 0_HPC Resolution 2026-08 ## 2. 1_ Site Alteration Permit Stanleys ## 3. 2_ Stanleys Final HPC Summary ## 4. 3_ Final Proposed Survey ## 5. 4_ ELEVATIONS 7 22 26 ## 6. 5_ Stanleys Window Package Final Submit Matched Elev ## 7. 5a_ Stanleys Window Package Final Submit ## 8. 6_ A3.1 FULL CROSS SECTION ## 9. 7_ A2.2 MAIN LEVEL FLOOR PLAN ## 10. 8_ A2.3 UPPER LEVEL FLOOR PLAN 11. 8a_ Roof Plan 12. 9_ Elevator Specs ## 13. 10_ Trash Enclosure Explained 14. 11_ Redbrick Details 15. 12_ CONCRETE BAND beige RAL7032 16. 13_ Skin Black satin RAL9005 window trim color 17. 14_ Existing Survey Page 25 of 78 ## City of Excelsior ## Heritage Preservation Commission ## Resolution No. 2026-08 ## A Resolution Approving a Site Alteration Permit for the construction of a building at 300 Water Street. WHEREAS, Don Cheech LLC, the owner at 300 Water Street, Excelsior, MN 55331, (“Applicant”) has applied for a Site Alteration Permit for the construction of a new building; WHEREAS, the Planning Commission (“PC”) considered and recommended approval of the Applicant’s application for a height variance at its meeting on August 24, 2026 (verify at HPC meeting time). ## WHEREAS, the Heritage Preservation Commission (“HPC”) considered Applicant’s application at its meeting on August 25, 2026. NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED, that the Applicant is hereby approved a Site Alteration Permit to construct a two-story building at 300 Water Street is approved with Conditions; and NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS RESOLVED, that the Applicant is hereby approved a Site Alteration Permit with Conditions; based on the following: ## FINDINGS OF FACT 1. Don Cheech LLC, owner of 300 Water Street, Excelsior, MN 55331 (“Applicant”) has applied for a site alteration permit new construction and signage at 300 Water Street. 2. The site at 300 Water Street is located in the Downtown Historic District. 3. The HPC reviewed a “schematic review” on March 3, 2026 and their recommendations and feedback are included in HPC Resolution 2026-02. 4. The site alteration permit for the demolition of the current building was approved by HPC on March 3, 2026, with the condition that the demolition permit will not be issued until the City has issued a building permit for the proposed new construction. 5. HPC Resolution 2026-02 also states that the proposed signage does not meet the zoning code standards and would require a variance request. 6. In making a determination whether to approve or deny an application for a site alteration permit, the commission shall be guided by Chapter 20-Historic Preservation of the Excelsior Code of Ordinances and The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Rehabilitation and the Preservation Design Manual. Page 26 of 78 Resolution 2026-08 Page 2 of 3 ## CONCLUSIONS OF LAW 1. Building permit for the demolition of the existing structure will not be approved until the final design for new construction has been approved by the HPC. 2. The design appears to meet the Preservation Design Manual guidelines for new construction and generally meets the guidelines for height, proportion, setbacks, orientation, spacing, roof shape, proportion of openings, and materials. 3. The applicant’s height variance request shall be approved by the City Council. 4. The submitted plans do not correctly detail the windows, doors, lighting, rear stairs and signage. 5. HPC cannot approve the new construction without specifications/details for windows, doors, cornice, materials, lighting, and paint color. 6. The HPC cannot approve a signage plan without measured drawings of the signs on measured elevations. Signage must allow follow the Excelsior Code of Ordinances for signs and allowances and the guidelines in the Preservation Design Manual. ## CONDITIONS 1. The HPC must review a final set of plans and elevations that aligns with the written narrative. The plans and elevations must provide measurements, details and materials of the cornice and the rear stair. The plans must include the rooftop HVAC units with dimensions; placement is recommended near the center of the roof for low visibility. 2. Dumpster enclosure shall be brick and identified as such in narrative and on plans. 3. The applicant must submit cut sheets and building elevations of the proposed windows. One building elevation per page will allow for greater detail and ability to review the proposed designs and measurements. The window details must have the correct proposed width of the rails, headers, and muntins. It is unclear if the hydraulic lifts will be visible. Lifts must be included on cut sheets and visible parts must be shown on building elevations. Thick window separations are not historically accurate because they do not mimic the historic wood and/or steel window designs and can read as heavy in the openings. The glass must be clear; tinted glass is not appropriate in historic districts. 4. The plans must indicate placement of signage and exact measurements. The plans must indicate the installation method and shall not damage the brick. The signage plan shall be Page 27 of 78 Resolution 2026-08 Page 3 of 3 submitted as a separate Site Alteration Permit application to the HPC for final review. Signage shall follow the design guidelines. 5. Gooseneck lights must be installed through the brick and electrical conduit cannot run along the building. All proposed exterior lighting shall be submitted to the HPC for final review. Adopted by the Heritage Preservation Commission of the City of Excelsior, Minnesota, this 25th day of August, 2026. ## HERITAGE PRESERVATION COMMISSION __________________________ ## Tim Caron, Chair Page 28 of 78 ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ▢ ## Ci ty of Excelsior ## 339 Third Street, Excelsior, MN 55331 ## Telephone: 952-474-5233 Email: ## APPLICATION FOR A SITE ALTERATION PERMIT ## Applicant’s Name: ## Ad dress: ## Telep hone: ## Au thority to file application: ## Ow nership ## Tenant ## Other ## If ## not Owner, Owner’s Name: ## Ad dress: ## Telep hone: ## Pr oject Address: Do y ou have an architect/engineer or other designer for this project? ## Yes ## No ## Name: ## Ad dress: ## Atta ch the following materials for all ap plications: A current photograph of the exterior sides of the building (or site) where work will take place.

Page 37 of 78 3 | P a g e The proposed building maintains a pedestrian-scaled, two-story massing that is consistent with the historic commercial character of downtown Excelsior. The primary volume is a simple rectilinear form measuring 60 feet in both width and depth. The overall height of 29’ to the top of the parapet aligns proportionally with adjacent historic two-story structures along Water Street. We have requested previous illustrations of surrounding properties for reference if it may be helpful. The façade is organized into a clearly defined base, middle, and top, reflecting traditional Main Street commercial architecture. The first-floor brick knee wall (42” height) establishes a durable masonry base and visually anchors the storefront system. Above this, a continuous horizontal sign band provides architectural separation before transitioning to the second-floor wall plane. The second story features more red brick to match the lower level styling, following patterns seen elsewhere in the district (see excelsior library photo for reference below). The upper façade is capped with a modest parapet and cornice, painted to match the existing trim, providing a clean and historically appropriate termination to the building’s mass. Fenestration patterns have been designed to reflect traditional storefront rhythm and upper- story window groupings common to Excelsior’s commercial core. The lower level along Water Street incorporates overhead operable window panels configured within a divided-light framework, allowing seasonal indoor–outdoor activation while preserving the proportional geometry of historic storefront bays. The second story features a consistent rhythm of Page 38 of 78 4 | P a g e vertically proportioned windows along both Water Street and 3rd Avenue, providing balanced symmetry and reinforcing traditional façade hierarchy. All exterior materials—including traditional Red brick, painted fiber cement parapet, and Black powder coated aluminum window and door trim—were selected to align with the city’s historic palette while ensuring durability and compatibility with neighboring structures. No modern reflective materials, metal panels, or incompatible cladding types are proposed. Signage has been designed to integrate into the building architecture without overwhelming the façade. The primary “Stanley’s” sign consists of 24” letters placed directly on the sign band, accompanied by a 24” circular sailboat emblem, both scaled to maintain appropriate proportionality within the main Water Street elevation. Secondary signage includes 14” “Lake Place” lettering, 10” unlit historical aesthetic band text (“BURGERS • PIZZA • SHAKES”). All signage remains within allowable size limits and is arranged to maintain horizontal alignment with established architectural features. No additional exterior lighting devices or sconces are proposed, ensuring the building presents a historically respectful and uncluttered nighttime appearance. Overall, the project preserves downtown Excelsior’s historic design principles by incorporating appropriate massing, compatible materials, traditional storefront patterns, and proportionally scaled signage, while delivering a refreshed, vibrant commercial presence at the Water Street and 3rd Avenue intersection. ## 1. Exterior Materials Description Page 39 of 78 5 | P a g e The proposed exterior materials have been selected to reflect the long-established character, texture, and durability of traditional downtown Excelsior commercial buildings. The ground- level façade is composed of full-depth brick veneer with a 42-inch masonry base, providing both visual stability and a historically appropriate storefront foundation. Mortar color is intentionally muted to maintain a traditional appearance and avoid visual contrast inconsistent with the district. Above the brick base, the rooftop parapet carries a traditional 2.5 ft cement board parapet material color matched in black to compliment window trim and mullion of the building. This material emulates traditional wood clapboard siding while offering increased longevity and reduced maintenance needs in Minnesota’s climate. All exterior trim—including window casings, parapet trim, mullions, and door frames—in a powdercoated Black color that Page 40 of 78 6 | P a g e complements the brick and siding and aligns with historically compatible accent tones approved in prior HPC applications. Windows are configured with traditional divided-light patterns, with transom style window panels on the top of each window proportioned to maintain a visually historic rhythm. Storefront glazing at the ground floor incorporates overhead-style operable panels designed to function seasonally while retaining a historic divided-light configuration. Doors are solid wood or high-quality composite designed to replicate traditional recessed-panel commercial entries. No reflective glass, metal paneling, synthetic stone, or contemporary cladding systems are proposed. All materials reinforce the historic scale, character, and visual continuity of Excelsior’s commercial district. ## 2. Signage Compliance Explanation All signage has been designed to respect the architectural proportions of the building and comply with size and placement expectations within the Historic District. ## Code Requirement (24-9(3)): “Two or more signs shall not be arranged and integrated so as to create a sign area over 40 square feet.” ## Proposed Condition - WATER ST side: • “STANLEY’S” = 22” height × 14.7’ width = 27.0 sq ft • “LAKE PLACE” = 14” height × 11.4’ width = 13.0 sq ft ퟐퟐퟐퟐ.ퟎퟎ + ퟏퟏퟏퟏ.ퟎퟎ = ퟒퟒퟎퟎ.ퟎퟎ sq ft The primary “Stanley’s” sign features 22-inch-tall letters situated within the horizontal sign band, ensuring clear legibility while maintaining proportional appropriateness relative to the building’s height and storefront scale. The adjacent 24-inch circular sailboat logo reinforces brand identity while remaining anchored within the same horizontal datum. Below the main sign, the secondary “Lake Place” lettering, set at 14 inches tall, fits neatly within the sign band without exceeding recommended vertical limits. The descriptive band text “BURGERS • PIZZA • SHAKES” utilizes 10-inch letters, maintaining a hierarchy consistent with historic storefront signage patterns and avoiding visual clutter. without overwhelming the architectural composition, flanked by a tasteful 24 inch round Page 41 of 78 7 | P a g e sailboat adding more flavor to the classic historic style, but also allowing us to call attention to the entry. All lighted signage is externally visible only through new low voltage LED Gooseneck style lighting. No additional raceways or surface-mounted lighting fixtures are proposed, maintaining a clean and historically sympathetic appearance. Proposed Condition – 3 rd St side: • Blade / Cantilever Sailboat sign: 24 inches round (2.0 Ft) • “ENTRANCE” = 48” × 14” = (4.67 Ft) ퟐퟐ.ퟎퟎ + ퟒퟒ.ퟔퟔퟐퟐ = ퟔퟔ.ퟔퟔퟐퟐ sq ft Building aesthetics for historic aesthetic: aside from signage, we added unlit banners on each side of the building (Burgers Pizza Shakes on the water street side to create a look that appears to have been there several years, purposely designed to look like a repurposed use of a historic building, also providing a utility for Stanley’s classic. “Burgers Pizza Shakes” unlit Banner: 10” height × 14.4’ width = 12 sq ft Collectively, the signage system respects Excelsior’s guidance for proportionality, simplicity, pedestrian orientation, and compatibility with building form. (photo above to provide reference to signage sizing, not necessarily the actual sign). Page 42 of 78 8 | P a g e (Photo rendering only to provide reference to signage and colors) ## 3. Historic Design Compatibility Statement The proposed building has been intentionally designed to uphold the architectural traditions and visual character of downtown Excelsior. The massing, façade articulation, materials, and signage all draw from historic commercial precedents and local preservation guidelines. The building’s two-story height, simple square footprint, parapet-capped roofline, and horizontal storefront proportions are consistent with legacy commercial structures along Water Street. The use of traditional Red brick throughout with natural banding and parapet reinforces the traditional base–middle–top façade hierarchy present in many of Excelsior’s historic buildings. Page 43 of 78 9 | P a g e Window proportions, Transom style paneling in the windows, and symmetrical upper-story fenestration contribute to a rhythm familiar to Excelsior’s late-nineteenth and early-twentieth- century architecture. The incorporation of operable overhead-style windows on Water Street reflects contemporary dining needs while maintaining historic geometry and avoiding incompatible modern storefront systems. Signage has been carefully sized and placed to maintain pedestrian scale and avoid overwhelming the façade, while updated in technology, mirrors mid-century commercial aesthetics found historically throughout small-town main streets. Overall, the design successfully blends historic compatibility with modern functionality, ensuring the building enhances the architectural continuity of the Historic District while supporting contemporary commercial activity at the Water Street and 3rd Avenue intersection. ## Exterior Materials Legend ## A.

The project is a part of the applicant’s Federal ## Historic Preservation Tax Incentives program project. The City’s Historic Consultant, Amy Lucas, has been assisting in the process outside of her work with the City. The applicant’s Part 1 and Part 2 applications have been approved by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and the National Park Service (NPS) which oversees the Tax Credit program. Staff is providing the HPC with an update on this masonry repair project as well as an update on the proposed phased repair work to be done to repair the front façade of the building which is also being approved administratively by staff together with our historic consultant. The HPC will need to review and approve future SAP applications for the replacement and installation of doors and windows on the façade and rear elevation of the structure. The applicant has proposed: 1. Masonry be cleaned and repointed with identical color mortar to match existing masonry on the front and back of the building. 2. The installation of custom-made brick to replace brick that has been damaged. 3. The restoration and replacement of metal grates on the front of the building, located below the windows. 4. The removal and replacement of the roof with a new epdm membrane and insulation. ## Requirements for Federal Historic Preservation Tax Incentives The Standards for Rehabilitation, applied by the National Park Service, are the criteria used to determine if a rehabilitation project qualifies as a certified rehabilitation. The intent of the Standards is to assist the long-term preservation of a property’s significance through the preservation of historic materials and features. The Standards Page 62 of 78 pertain to historic buildings of all materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the exterior and the interior of historic buildings. The Standards also encompass related landscape features and the building’s site and environment, as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. To be certified, a rehabilitation project must be determined by the Secretary of the Interior to be consistent with the historic character of the structure(s) and, where applicable, the district in which it is located. The Standards are to be applied to specific rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner, taking into consideration economic and technical feasibility. ## Proposed Administrative Approval Process The applicant’s work has been approved by SHPO and NPS and staff is proposing that the implementation of the work to repair the front façade’s masonry be approved by staff and the City’s Historic Consultant prior to work beginning. Review will occur in phases across the project to ensure that work meets City and National requirements. The contractor shall set a time to speak with the City’s historic consultant and staff prior to work. Custom bricks will be reviewed by staff prior to the removal of damaged bricks. The applicant is available to answer additional questions about the project and future work to be completed. ## Recommended Action: ## Budget: ## Attachments: ## None Page 63 of 78 Item: 7.C.iv. ## ITEM REPORT ## To: Heritage Preservation Commission ## From: Jess Long, City Planner ## Meeting Date: August 25, 2026 ## Department/Office: Community Development Item Name: Administrative Approval of Change to First Story Projecting Roof - 211 ## Water Street Site Alteration Permit ## Summary: ## Background Eric Lindquist has submitted an application for a Site Alteration Permit to reroof the first- story roof overhang at 211 Water Street. The Smith and Co. Store, constructed in 1920, is a contributing building within the Historic Downtown District. The property owner, Mark Duggan, has undertaken a series of improvements to the building, including window replacement and shutter removal. The proposed change to the first story roof overhang is the next step in a series of future changes that the owner is considering for the building. There are no changes proposed to the sign mounted to the roof. The applicant will be submitting a future application for the repainting of the front façade. Repainting the building will be an additional administrative approval that will require color selection from a historic color pallet. ## Proposed Work The current front facade has a first story roof overhang that acts as protection over the storefront windows and front door. The structure is made of wood supports and has wood shingles. The wood shingles have deteriorated, and the applicant has proposed that they be removed and replaced with a metal roofing material. The applicant proposes using Integral Standing Rib Metal Roofing System. The applicant has chosen black metal for the new roof.

In addition to the general materials listed on page 1, applicants should refer to the checklist below for additional requirements applicable to particular types of projects. A summary of HPC Guidelines are also available at Excelsior City Hall. Please be thorough in completing the checklist.
