STAFF REPORT
The Planning -Director recommends approval of this request.
The City of Beaumont wishes to demolish the house located at 2550 Hazel. This
property is located in the Oaks Historic District. This house was built c. 1928 and
is of the Colonial Revival style. It is typical of middle -income single family residential
housing from that time period.
This house was brought before the Historic Landmark Commission in January, 1994.
Several neighbors had complained to the City about the condition of the house. The
Historic Commission voted 5:3 to deny the demolition of the house.
Since that time, the house had deteriorated further and the City was again interested
in demolishing it. While the City was working with the applicant, the house was
stripped and items were stolen. Therefore, the City is again asking that the Historic
Landmark Commission approve a Certificate of Demolition for this house.
Exhibits are attached.
