Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2016 Page 5 of 19 Staff Report of Facts and Issues: Trice presents from Power Point: LOCATION 301-333 East Street Between the railroad and Highway 42, North of Lock Street Five structures currently on the property HPC will focus on #1, #3, and #4 which were built prior to 1955 1. Frame structure, circa 1907 (encapsulated in brick post 1987) Staff finds there is no architectural integrity left of the original 1907 structure based on the brick encapsulation. It is difficult the historic structure within it. 2. Concrete block structure, post 1987 3. Wooden chicken coop, date unknown Staff finds it is unclear how long this structure has been on this site. Staff does not find that it holds enough significance in order to make the property eligible for landmarking. 4. "Boarder" House, constructed pre 1948 Staff says it is possible it was moved to a different location on the property, or moved from somewhere elsewhere to the property. This structure is not in good shape. The siding is falling off or missing. It has different roofing materials. The windows and doors appear to still be there, but are not being used as windows or doors. 5. Stone structure, post 1987 Social Significance - Exemplifies cultural, political, economic or social heritage of the community. The property was the home of members of the Gelsomino and Annunciata Romano family for 80 years. Staff Recommendations: The HPC may release the permit, or place a stay on the application for up to 180 days from the date of date of issuance of the planning department referral, which was September 6, 2016.
