CONDITION Review Criteria for 135 W. Francis Street The applicant is planning to lift the historic home and place it back in its historic location on the site. The relocated historic resource is proposed to sit on a new basement foundation. Summary of Review Criteria for Relocation Request Page 2 of 2 Staff Finding: The applicant proposes to excavate a large subgrade living space under the historic resource which will require the historic home to be lifted. The revised design proposes to place the historic home back in its historic location on the site apart from making sure the home is parallel to the existing property lines. The revised design preserves the surroundings of the historic home and meets the relevant Design Guidelines related to site planning. The plan to create positive drainage around the historic resource is supported with the understanding that raising the finished floor of the building slightly is acceptable for positive drainage. Unless there is evidence of a historic masonry foundation, the new foundation is to be a simple concrete finish or a foundation clad with painted metal flashing. All excavation related activities must adhere to the guidelines provided by other City Departments related to tree drip line disturbances. The relocation of the home must be performed by a contractor with experience in moving historic homes and sufficient reports from an engineer must be submitted ensuring the structure will be able to withstand the physical impacts of the move. A financial assurance in the amount of $30,000 will be required when submitting for the building permit. Staff finds the relocation criteria is met.
