HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2011-12-01.pdf,4 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2011-12-01 | 4 | Board member Rauk and Hoffman both voiced concerns on the change from pre-1942 to all buildings over the age of 50 years being considered for demolition control. They both noted that it could be a deterrent to residents complying with city standards when working on their homes. Chair Owen noted the ordinance could reflect the period of significance, which is likely 1942. He also noted that the issue is demolition not alteration control. Board member Hoffman thinks that Alameda Point should be given special consideration. He supports purview over the exterior of buildings, only. Chair Owens noted he would suggest the addition of massing and form to the definition of integrity as surface material can be restored and/or removed. He also supported that post Approved Meeting Minutes 12/1/2011 Page 4 of 6 Historical Advisory Board | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2011-12-01.pdf |
HistoricalAdvisoryBoard/2011-12-01.pdf,5 | HistoricalAdvisoryBoard | 2011-12-01 | 5 | 1942 properties considered for demolition could then be added to the study list. Also, accessory buildings issue are also challenging to resolve, the need to save water towers and carriage houses, but not other utility buildings that are not worthy of preservation. He also noted that the interior alteration purview issue was mostly in error. However, he is open to allow owners to voluntarily allow interior purview if the Board felt that it was warranted. Board member Hoffman and Rauk support that the owner should have to support interior purview. Board member Lynch was ambivalent towards interior purview, but would believe that some persons would find the interior purview an honor. Ms. Kavanaugh-Lynch noted that landmark status, including items of significance would run with the land, not with the individual property owner. Board members discussed items noted by the AAPS presentation, including; a. Relocation of structures on and off of lots and/or on other places in the lot. b. Findings should be added for actions of the Board. C. Offer Building Official the ability to allow a limited emergent demolition as part of the policy discussion. d. Consider the Historic Preservation Permit - zoning and potential conflict between purview of the Planning Board. Could add findings to allow certain examples where a restoration of a monument would be allowed to exceed development standards. e. Trees. Board noted that trees that are noted in the municipal code are protected, however not clear as to which Board would be best for this work or if it could be done by staff. There was also some discussion that the document should be reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office early in the process. This discussion item was continued by the Board members to the February meeting. 7-F 2012 Historical Advisory Board Meeting Schedule - The Historical Advisory Board will consider and approve the Historical Advisory Board meeting schedule for 2012.
