HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2009-02-05 | 7 | Board Member Talbot expressed confusion with the amount of demolition and how the numbers were determined, and how the replacement in kind was not going to count as part of the demolition. Board Member lrons pointed out that it is easily interpreted that only 30% will be demolished if new construction is going to be sistered in with the old construction. He also said that for efficiency sake, it is better to demolish damaged parts of the project than trying to repair the damage. The Board agreed that according to the drawings, it is inevitable that there is going to be more than 30% demolition. Board Member Owens expressed concern with the drawings and that they didn't indicate that 30% was going to be the amount demolished and why there wasn't an inspection done before rough framing. He is concerned about setting a precedent. He also clarified that the drawings are different than what is actually happening on the construction site. Mr. Biggs said that his understanding was that most of the walls were to remain so it would not be more than 30% demolition. He suggested that the office copy of the plans might not be the same as the job site copy of the plans. Acting Chair Miller pointed out that the plans regarding the windows do not reflect what is actually happening. Board Member Owens pointed out that the elevations do not accurately reflect what is happening with the structure and that what shows on the plans is more than 30% demolition of the structure. Mr. Biggs stated that a set of plans will come to planning for approval, and then the building set of plans will be compared to the planning set of drawings to make sure there are no discrepancies. The public comment period was opened. Mr. Kevin Beal addressed the board saying that the building burned in April of 2008 and are perplexed by what the hang-up is for the reconstruction. They are eager to get the construction done so they can move back in. Mr. Christopher Buckley addressed the board saying that the picture of the structure in the 1979 survey did not match the pictures attached to the staff report. He wanted to give the board an idea of what it looked like. Mr. Biggs said that if you compare the pictures, it can be seen that the changes that were made altered the house significantly.
