Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes October 17, 2016 Page 6 of 19 Based on the lack of architectural integrity and the condition of the structures, Staff recommends the Historic Preservation Commission release the demolition permit. Commission Questions of Staff. Haley asks about the assessor card. Is that the first house or the boarder house? Trice says from all records I have from the previous property owner and from Bridget Bacon, the building is located inside the brick building. Stewart says the only building that is border line is the boarder house. Have there been any costs estimates for repair? Trice says no. Haley asks if the boarder house still has the two doors. Trice says yes, you can slightly see them in the picture, but I'm not sure they are being used as doors at the moment. There is also a shed roof addition on the side of the building. Haley says this is not in the Old Town Overlay. Trice says yes. Stewart says if the demo permit requests are released, the actual demolition cannot take place until after the PUD is approved and finalized, is that correct? Trice says yes. This is a preliminary PUD and plat application, so they will be coming back for a final PUD and plat. Applicant Presentation: None. Closed Public Hearing and Discussion by Commission: Stewart says he agrees with Staff that the other buildings have lost any integrity they did have. The boarder house seems to have some integrity and may meet our criteria. An open question is whether the cost of repair is beyond reason for it. I am inclined to release all the permits except that one pending further cost analysis, but I can be persuaded otherwise. Fahey says I agree with releasing all the other structures. I will vote to release the boarder house as well because of the extensive repair needed to be done. Nothing is original. Chuck Thomas says leaving the border house might present a problem in redeveloping the property. I agree with releasing all the properties as well as the boarder house. Cyndi Thomas says I agree and think the integrity is not there any longer. Fasick says I agree that we can let the boarder house go. With the loss of the original house and the chicken coop, it is a loss of context. Chuck Thomas makes a motion to approve 301 East Street Demotion, Demolition #2016- 008 -DEMO, a request to demolish the structure at 301 East Street. The request is being heard by the full Commission because it is part of a Planned Unit Development (PUD) and Plat application, seconded by Haley. Roll call vote.
