Mr. Rader reported back from a conversation with another School Board member who was also supportive of the project. Mr. Siley described a change to the property lines to create an additional buffer for Grant School and the parent pick -up line. At the request of Councilmember Rader, Mr. Siley discussed Liberty Development and its projects. Ms. George stated that she felt encouraged by Mr. Siley's thoughts and vision for the properties and for the intent to designate 1456 as historic. Mr. O'Leary remarked that Council should support the project because it has been fully thought out by the Board of Education in partnership with LHAB, the Historic Society, and other invested entities in the community. Also, the project has been vetted through City Hall's boards and commissions. In response to a Councilmember's question, Mr. Siley explained that while the fapade of the building at 1456 is most important to deem historic that he has hopes of designating more than the fagade to be historic.
