Agenda Item Summary:
The property owner at 1209 Clark St, Doug Noyes, is a resident of 1213 Clark St. The property owner is requesting to demolish a contributing shed that is in poor condition, neglected by previous owners, and sits too close to the primary home structure. A replacement structure is not being proposed at this time. The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) acknowledges the shed’s fire and electrical code violations as a serious safety issue. The HPC agreed that there are no feasible and prudent alternatives and motioned to add a recommendation that a retaining wall or other barricade be installed to mitigate any future issue of sedimentation coming into the primary structure.
