Applicant: Airlanzo Wells

Staff Recommendations:

In April 2022, a new construction permit was opened for the construction of a two-story, two-family residential building in the Bywater Historic District. This item was not placed on the agenda for ARC review and was subsequently never reviewed. No communication with the applicant took place until October 2022 when it was noticed that work had commenced. Although neither an HDLC CofA nor a building permit had been issued, the exterior shell of the building had been completed.

Work was halted on the site, and the building proceeded through the ARC review process at the October meeting. At that meeting, the ARC noted several revisions and recommendations for the building (see below). The ARC's motion included the approval of retention of the current building with the required revisions. The applicant has since submitted revised plans incorporating the ARC recommendations.

Although the building was constructed without permits and the proper review processes, the applicant is back on track and proceeding accordingly. Staff recommends approval of the retention with the ARC's recommendations to be incorporated during construction.
