Staff Report:
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of the alterations to the previously approved plans.
Issue
The applicant is proposing to make the following changes to the plans that were approved by the HPC in December of 2012 (HPC12-25):
· Change in design and number of skylights on modern addition
· Addition of an 8'x9' room to the rear of the approved addition
· Change in fence design
UPDATE: During renovation, mayor structural issues were found. Due to the lack of historic materials and the immense structural issues, Staff and the HPC approved for the original structure to be carefully dismantled. The remaining historic materials that were not destroyed by rot were salvaged and will be reused during reconstruction. Staff is carefully monitoring the reconstruction to ensure the original house is rebuilt exactly as it once was. Staff has requested the placement of a sign on the original portion of the building that identifies it as a historic reconstruction built in 2013.
