Permit #: 25-06302-HDLC
Description: Demolition of more than 50% of the roof of a Contributing rated, one-story, single-family, residential building.
Staff Recommendations:
FEMA survey research indicates that 522 Calhoun was constructed from 1885-1895 and first appears on the 1896 Fire Insurance Maps. The single shotgun retains it's massing and original front four rooms. The proposed renovation seeks to remove unsympathetic Non-Contributing rear additions added sometime after 1951 and add a camelback addition. The total amount of roof demolition is 59%. The original shotgun structure will remain intact, including it's primary facade. Staff recommends approval of the demolition of more than 50% of the roof structure.
Recommendation: Approve
