Letter of Intent
1304 E 15th St.
1304 E 15th Street is a corner lot facing 15th Street with Vine street to the east of the lot.
October of last year a request for demolition of home was submitted. For
some reason both east and west wings of the home were granted the request.
Although the main structure was denied. I went through the home and found that
the floors, walls, doors and windows of the house did not have materials that
would be classified as a historic nature. The roof structure which was poorly
framed is falling apart and looks like a washboard. I did see a hutch that looked of
age and that piece will be designed into one of the new structures to be built on
this huge lot. I would ask that the committee would reevaluate their decision made
last year and grant a demolition of the full structure in order to move forward. The
house has had many changes that have made it cheap and have gone away from
the values of historic significance. This can be seen in the windows that have been
installed. The current floor plan is not functional. The changes that need to be
made for usable space make it economically infeasible. The amount of remodel
would be expensive and extensive. It is more feasible to start over as opposed to
remodel the current structure.
Page 8 of 40
The homeowner is also looking to keep a craftsman style appeal to new structures
to be built. In order with keeping this area preserved to historic district standards.
There is also a plat line which had been moved on the back-east corner of
the lot to accommodate the neighbor with a driveway easement to the street. The
neighbor has signed a document to make it a new plat line that can finally be
documented correctly.
I would hope that with the pictures I am providing that you would
understand more as to what I am referring to. I know that you all would
understand that with this information you will be better informed to make your
decision.
