PUBLIC HEARINGS
24HPC-006 – DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON A REQUEST BY THE OWNERS OF 503 PARK AVE. TO DEMOLISH THE ATTACHED SHED TO THE REAR OF HOUSE. THE APPLICANT IS ALSO REQUESTING TO REBUILD THE FRONT PORCH.
Motion: – Jackson motioned, White seconded to open the public hearing.
Ayes: Horton, Dennerline, Carroll, Jackson, White
Nays: None
Absent: Brown
The motion carried.
Owners of the house Brian Pittman and Gina Dillon state that one pillar on the porch has rotted through and needs replacing. If they replace one pillar, they will need to replace all to keep uniform. The carpenter the owners are working with can make the pillars and porch as close to the original as possible.
They also request to demolish the shed in the back of the house. It was built on dirt, that is why it as denigrated the way it has. The plans after the demolition would be to either rebuild or replace it with a cement patio and trellis. Owner Dillon would like to rebuild it like the original but cannot find any photos of the original shed.
Motion: Dennerlien motioned, Carroll seconded to close the public hearing
Ayes: Horton, Jackson, White, Dennerlien, Carroll
Nays: None
Absent: Brown
The motion carried.
Discussion on shed:
White states it is beyond saving but possibly rebuild and use as dry storage/shed.
Albaugh states it is in bad shape but would like to see something to replicate it. The house was built in 1885 without the shed, the shed was added some years later.
Motion: Horton motioned, seconded by White, to demolish the shed.
Ayes: Horton, Dennerline, Jackson, White
Nays: Carroll
Absent: Brown
The motion carried.
Discussion on front porch:
If the porch is rebuilt to replicate the original porch it will be fine. At one time there was an ornamental railing on the porch roof. That would be neat to have it back.
Motion: Horton motioned, seconded by Jackson to rebuild front porch
Ayes: Horton, Dennerline, Jackson, White, Carroll
Nays: None
Absent: Brown
The motion carried.
