HomeMy WebLinkAboutCA-798DATE: August 1 1, 2003 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager SUBJECT: Request for approval of a certificate of appropriateness for the demolition of a house at 2080 Laurel. FILE: CA-798 NOTE: At the July 14, 2003 meeting, the Historic Landmark Commission voted to deny CA-798 and asked Mr. Bethea if Entergy could market the property. The Administration has asked that the item be put back on the agenda. STAFF REPORT The Planning Manager recommends approval of this request. Entergy owns the house at 2080 Laurel. The house is adjacent to an electrical substation and is in disrepair. Sam Bethea, with Entergy, states that they have no plans to renovate or use the house. Mr. Bethea states that if the house is removed, it is Entergy's intention to fence the lot and incorporate it into the substation yard (the property is zoned RCR and would require a specific use permit). The property is listed in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont Survey. SPARE states that the house was built c. 1925 and is of the Vernacular Craftsman style. The house is typical of middle class housing built in Beaumont in the 1920's. At the July 14 Historic Landmark Commission meeting, there was discussion about the possibility of moving the building. However, there was concern that the cost of moving and rehabilitating the house would be cost prohibitive. Pam Loiacano stated that the house was substandard but was not a dangerous structure. Exhibit is attached. DATE: July 14, 2003 TO: Historic Landmark Commission FROM: Stephen C.
