Description: Demolition of a Non-Contributing rated, single-family, one-story building to grade.

HDLC Guidelines:

Section 12, Pages 23-24 of the Guidelines for New Construction, Additions and Demolition, state that the demolition of all or portions of historic resources within a local Historic District or Landmark site are considered drastic actions since they alter the character of the area. Once historic resources or buildings that contribute to the heritage of the community are destroyed, it is generally impossible to reproduce their design, texture, materials, details and their special character and interest in the neighborhood. As a result, the HDLC rarely considers the demolition of Significant or Contributing buildings or structures within a local Historic District or on a Landmark site to be an appropriate option.

Staff Recommendations:

FEMA surveys indicate that this single-story, masonry-clad, frame building, built in the mid-century aesthetic, was constructed outside of the Carrollton district's period of significance, between 1960 and 1970. Due to the Non-Contributing classification of the building, Staff does not object to demolition of the structure.

• Staff Recommendation: No objection
