18520 | Chair Saxby said the building is suitable for occupancy now and is a historic structure on a historic site. He wondered why we are not looking seriously at saving one or more of these buildings. Staff Member Thomas said that they have come to the conclusion that it is not financially feasible on this site, but have not convinced this board of that. He asked what it would take for the board to reach that conclusion. Chair Saxby said he does not think it is the board's purview to address the financial feasibility of the project. He said they are looking only at the historic preservation point of view. Staff Member Thomas said they will be taking the project to the Planning Board in January. He said they will share that this board felt the historic preservation mitigations in the application were good, but that the plan missed the mark by not having a preservation element. He said they would be coming back to HAB for a certificate of approval. Board Member Sanchez said he would like to go through the process of studying a design that has a preservation element. He said always presents his clients with the "money is no object" solution to make sure that possibilities are not limited. Staff Member Thomas asked if the board would be able to move their meeting back from the scheduled January 3rd date in order to do the work required. Chair Saxby said they could coordinate a date offline and make that work. 7-B 2018-6287 2019 Historical Advisory Board Regular Meeting Schedule Board Member Sanchez made a motion to adopt the 2019 schedule.
