Historic Preservation / Design Review Commission Meeting - May 27, 2026

The City of Stevens Point Historic Preservation / Design Review Commission held a meeting on May 27, 2026, to review a design proposal from Tyler Ignatowski representing Little Captain LLC. The proposal involved replacing 35 failed air conditioning units at a building located at 1021 1st Street with new through-the-wall units, one for each apartment. The applicant presented renderings showing the units would be painted to match the building exterior to minimize visual impact, addressing historic preservation concerns about mechanical equipment visibility from the street. After discussion, the commission voted to approve the proposal as presented, noting the units would be largely obscured by trees and the design was appropriate given the building's constraints.
