PROPOSED SITE PLAN: <br />L <br />Moving a historic structure generally is not an approved treatment according to the Secretary of <br />the Interior's Standards and Guidelines. However, in some cases relocation is considered <br />preferable to loss of the structure or as a means to preserve the sense of its setting. Reasons <br />that must be documented to justify moving an historic structure include research to show 1) that <br />it has been relocated in the past; 2) that relocation is the only means of saving the building from <br />certain loss; or 3) that relocation will restore a sense of the original setting. <br />Staff believes the proposed changes to the property would result in the preservation of a historic <br />structure that would otherwise be lost. In addition, while there is no record of this structure <br />having been relocated in the past, the Louisville area has a history of relocating homes in the <br />early to mid-20th century. Section 15.36.120 of the LMC gives the criteria for evaluating <br />alteration certificates and based on the proposed design, staff finds that the current proposal <br />meets the intent of the standards <br />
