The structures are outside the historic overlay district but may be eligible for designation. If determined to be eligible, demolition or exterior alteration of the structures would be subject to Chapter 17.30 Historic Preservation Code. Using the "Historic Residential Property Inventory Methodology and Scoring System" John McDonagh, Senior Planner and Richard Berg, HPC Chair, conducted a site visit and completed the scoring checklist (Exhibit 1). Subcommittee At the May 3, 2022, meeting, HPC moved to appoint a subcommittee to review the scoring and report back to the full committee on both the scoring and proposed demolition. On May 20, 2022, subcommittee members Craig Britton and Walt Galitzki and city staff, Judy Surber (Planning Manager) and Matt Logue (Building Inspector) met Ms. Cole (owner) and her brother (contractor) on-site. The subcommittee reviewed the scoring checklist while observing the exterior of the building. Staff took photos (Exhibit 2). A interior walk-through was also conducted in association with the application for demolition (HPC22-010). On June 3, subcommittee members met virtually with Judy Surber (Planning Manager) to discuss their views; reflected in the annotated checklist (Exhibit 1).
