HPC201401070, 52 Sloan St., Jonathan Golden
Item Summary:
Demolition of burned structure at 52 Sloan St.
Staff Report:
UPDATE (June 26th, 2014): The applicant requested a deferral at the May 7th, 2014 HPC Hearing due to the fact that the HPC was hesitant to grant approval of demolition without having some idea of what would built on the site if the current structure was removed. The applicant has since submitted a concept plan for new construction to be reviewed as a part of the demolition application as a good faith effort. The new construction portion is not up for approval for a Certificate of Appropriateness at the July 9th, 2014 Hearing. If demolition is granted based on the concept of the new replacement structure, the applicant will have to work with his architect to produce additional drawings/materials and submit a separate application for new construction.
The next new construction submission deadline after the July 9th, 2014 HPC Hearing would be August 13th, 2014. A pre-application meeting will be required before the applicant can submit on August 13th, 2014. Pre-application meetings are held every Tuesday, from 8:30am to 12:00pm.
Based off of the condition of the current structure and the design of the concept plan, Staff recommends approval of demolition with the following conditions:
1. That the structure is not demolished until a COA has been issued for new construction;
2. That the new construction plans that are submitted are similar in design, mass and scale as that shown in the submitted concept plans, so long as it complies with the Unified Development Code and the UDC Design Guidelines.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of demolition with the condition that the structure is not demolished until a COA has been issued for new construction.
