j CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS STAFF REPORT <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Upon receipt of this application, Staff notified the applicant of the <br />Demolition Standards to be met for the approval of demolition by the HPC. <br />Review of the citations of the division of code enforcement finds cause for <br />building repair as follows but does not indicate the requirement of <br />demolition: <br />1) Failing roof rafters and collar ties. (contribute to wall deformation — see <br />item 4) <br />2) Tree growing against south foundation. <br />3) Several areas of damaged siding and corner trim. <br />4) Walls out of plumb. <br />5) Worn shingles, holes in roofing and exposed decking. <br />No further citations are made regarding foundation, doors, windows, stairs, <br />etc. <br />Upon inspection by the Staff, we found damage presumably by automobile impact <br />the one corner and general deterioration of siding surface due to unmaintai.ned <br />siding. There appear to have been may alterations of door and window <br />conditions through the buildings period of. use. <br />As of this date, if the applicant has sought evidence meeting the requirements <br />of the Demolition Standards, the Staff is unaware of such. It would appear <br />that the deterioration of the building is due to neglect of the most basic <br />requirements of maintenance, especially regarding the roof which contributes <br />to the other areas of deterioration, excepting the impact damage which is also <br />unrepaired. Staff therefore recommends denial of this application. Should the <br />commission choose to approve this application, Staff recommends that the <br />documentation called for in the Preservation Guidelines be prescribed as <br />accurate measured drawings of a professional standard to be provided by the <br />applicant as a condition of release of the Certificate of. Appropriateness. <br />DBD <br />10/11/95 <br />Page <br />
