PlanningBoard | 2013-05-13 | 7 | Board member Knox White asked if the majority of the Historical Advisory Board (HAB) support the changes. Mr. Thomas commented on attendance at both meetings with HAB, and there was concern expressed regarding demolition of a property. Board member Köster asked for clarification in 'alteration' on a home pre-1942. Mr. Thomas explained the process currently, and what the proposed would be. Board member Alvarez-Morroni asked about the definition of 'demolition'. Mr. Thomas stated that the boards can determine a definition of 'demolition', or consider changing the percentage, or look at all character details of the building. The HAB stated the pre-1942 study list was determined in the 1970's. President Zuppan opened the meeting for public comment. Jon Spangler, stated that if someone were to take 50% of the gingerbread off of a 1900's victorian it would be sacrilege. Being a homeowner of a historic building comes with a stewardship. Demolition should be anything more than half, or half of the historic aesthetics, as in ruining the character of the building. President Zuppan closed the public comment period. Board member Knox White commented on the reasons why we have design review. The Study List is a pseudo-official list as there has been no official designation from City Council. Board member Alvarez-Morroni agreed being in support of the staff recommendations. Board member Henneberry agreed to support staff and Board recommendations. Vice President Burton agreed with the recommendations. Board member Tang had no comments. Board member Köster agreed with Knox White on going through the study list for accuracy. He commented on the yellow house on Buena Vista. He further commented on colors. Mr. Thomas commented that any work on a building that doesn't trigger a building permit means the homeowners are free to do what they want. President Zuppan asked about the Study List and the Pre-1942 structure list, does this cross reference. Approved Meeting Minutes Page 7 of 10 May 13, 2013 | PlanningBoard/2013-05-13.pdf |
