Summary of Review Criteria for Relocation Request
Page 2 of 2
Staff Finding: The applicant proposes to temporarily move the two-story landmark to excavate a
new basement, then set the landmark on the new basement foundation. The final location of the
historic structure will match its historic location verified by the 1904 Sanborn Map. A stone
foundation is supported with the condition that the applicant reuse the existing masonry, even if it
is as a veneer treatment, to maintain the visual integrity of the original foundation. The proposed
relocation does not diminish the historic integrity of the resource. The necessary letter from an
engineer determining the resource capable of withstanding the relocation and the financial
assurances in the amount of $30,000 will be required prior to building permit submission. The
relocation criteria are not triggered for the secondary historic structure because this separate
structure will not move from its original location on site and no subgrade excavation is proposed.
Staff finds the relocation criteria are met.
