When the City of Delaware Historic Preservation Commission holds its regular monthly meeting at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, business will include a holdover matter tabled from its February meeting and two new applications for patios.
New submissions are asking for Certificates of Appropriateness for a permanent rear patio at 31 West Winter Street from Staas Brewing Company, as well as an application from Olivina Taproom for a side permanent patio at their location, 44 South Sandusky Street.
The West Winter property is a three unit commercial building that has been considered a “non-contributing structure” within the National Register Northwest Historic District. The operation has had a front patio for some time, with COVID creating a need for more outside seating – with a temporary rear patio approved. The present action would make that temporary unit a permanent one.
Staff has recommended approval with a need to follow all relevant statutes and codes.
44 South Sandusky Street is a contributing structure in the District. Built in 1910, seating has been featured on the front of the restaurant since 2017. The building in question is that to which a billboard is affixed, visible going northbound on South Sandusky.
Similar to the other property, a temporary patio was approved during COVID, and this would make that arrangement an ongoing one.
The tabled measure asks for a COA for renovation work at 154 East Winter Street. Certain work was completed in 2021 without such a request, resulting in a Code Violation Notice according to City paperwork.
The property is a two story Italianate commercial building built about 1890. In February, three of four previously completed work items were approved by the HPC; only work on the roof was not considered at that time, allowing the owner to return this week with identified options on roof materials.
