BACKGROUND (continued):
records indicate that a second-story addition was made prior to 1962 and an addition to the
living room was made in 1976. The property was granted a secondary dwelling unit permit
in 1988 and was addressed as 101 and 103 Broadway. The residence experienced a fire in
March 2017 and has been uninhabited since that event.
The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing non-contributing single-family residence
and construct a new two-story single-family residence with a below-grade garage. Due to
its location in the Broadway Historic District, the applicant has chosen to pursue preliminary
feedback on the request ahead of submitting the required Planning application. If a formal
Planning application is made, the proposed project would return to the HPC for a formal
recommendation.
Section 4.10 of the Residential Design Guidelines states that replacement of non-
contributing structures within an historic district is acceptable and provides guidance for
new construction within a district.
DISCUSSION:
A. Findings
___ As required by Town Code Section 29.10.09030(c) Demolition of historic structures, a
demolition permit for a historic structure may only be approved if:
1. The structure poses an imminent safety hazard; or
2. The structure is determined not to have any special historical, architectural or aesthetic
interest or value.
Any request to demolish an historic structure shall be reviewed by the Historic Preservation
Committee. Applications to demolish a non-contributing historic structure shall be
accompanied by a detailed report describing all aspects of the structure's physical condition
prepared by an architect, licensed design professional, or registered civil engineer at the
applicant's expense.
B. Considerations
___ In evaluating applications, the deciding body shall consider the architectural style,
design, arrangement, texture, materials and color, and any other pertinent factors.
Applications shall not be granted unless:

2. In historic districts, the proposed work will neither adversely affect the exterior
architectural characteristics or other features of the property which is the subject of the
application, nor adversely affect its relationship, in terms of harmony and
appropriateness, with its surroundings, including neighboring structures, nor adversely
affect the character, or the historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value of the
district.
