Public Hearing on a Request to Amend the East Wash-
ington Street Historic District Boundaries


STAFF REVIEW: John Sterrett, City Planner             SIGNATURE__________________________

ITEM SUMMARY:
Dan Beebe and Pamela Darrah of 479 Colford Avenue have submitted a request to remove a vacant
parcel of land identified as PIN 04-10-117-013 (the “parcel”) they own from the East Washington
Street Historic District (the “District”). The parcel is 1.28 acres and is adjacent to the north of the home
at 479 Colford Avenue, essentially serving as an extension to the backyard. The parcel was previously
owned by the owner of 524 East Washington Street, the home adjacent to the north of the parcel, at
the time the District was surveyed in 1998. Both 524 E Washington Street and the subject parcel were
subsequently included in the District boundaries. Since then, the parcel has been conveyed to the
owners of 479 Colford Avenue. The parcel has no frontage on Washington Street and is located over
300 feet south of Washington Street. If the parcel were developed, it would be accessed off Summit
Avenue, which is not located in the Historic District, nor are any homes located on Summit Avenue.
Furthermore, any future home on the parcel would not be visible from East Washington Street. Staff is
of the opinion that removal of the parcel from the District will not have any adverse effect on the Dis-
trict. Removal of the parcel from the District will not cause any other property currently located in the
District to be removed. Please see attached map for more details.

To remove the parcel from the District, an amendment to the District boundaries must be approved by
the City Council. Prior to action being taken by the City Council, the Historical Preservation Commis-
sion must conduct a public hearing and provide a recommendation on the request. Per the require-
ments of Section 4-93 of the Code of Ordinances, notice to all property owners within the East Wash-
ington Street Historic District have been notified of the public hearing via certified mail and a notice of
the public hearing was published in the Daily Herald at least 30 days prior to the hearing.

ACTION PROPOSED:

The Historical Preservation Commission is being asked to conduct a public hearing on the proposed
amendment to the East Washington Street Historic District for PIN 04-10-117-013.
