located and its relocation will not have an adverse impact on the Historic District or property; or
3. The owner has obtained a certificate of economic hardship; or

character and integrity of the building, structure or object and its move will not adversely affect

the integrity of the Historic District in which it was originally located or diminish the historic,
architectural or aesthetic relationships of adjacent designated properties; and
Additionally, for approval to relocate all of the following criteria must be met:
1. It has been determined that the building, structure or object is capable of withstanding the
physical impacts of relocation;
2. An appropriate receiving site has been identified; and
3. An acceptable plan has been submitted providing for the safe relocation, repair and preservation
of the building, structure or object including the provision of the necessary financial security.
Staff Finding: The applicant proposes temporary relocation of the historic resource in order to dig a
basement and put the home back in place. It is currently slightly crooked on the lot, which will be
corrected.
A plan for how the house will be stored on site or suspended above the excavation is needed before
Relocation approval should be granted. Staff recommends continuation of the review for the applicant
to study this issue.
The house has settled so that the front porch deck is essentially flush with grade. As part of the
Relocation, the architect intends to raise the finished floor elevation so that there is one step in front of
the porch. Staff’s supports this modest adjustment. Many of the miner’s cottages have this condition.
