Dear Steve:
We herein submit our application for Certificate of Appropriateness
related to the property located at 2E 76 Harrison, Beaumont, Texas, which
lies within the Oaks Historic District. `:Ve become the owners of said
property on April 18, 1995, and it is or- intention to rehabilitate the
structures located within the boundark:�--' of that property. As you are
aware, the structures were considered for demolition by the City on April
18, 1995, but because of the purchase of the property by us that day, City
Council granted a 30 day stay to allow time for us to submit this request.
Because we were unable to consummate the purchase until April 18, we
were unable to submit this package by the submittal deadline of April 17 for
a hearing on May 8. Due to the terrible condition of the structure (e.g. the
roof is missing in several areas) and the need to make exterior repairs as -
soon as possible to prevent further deterioration, we request that our late
application be accepted and considered at the May 8 meeting so if approval
is given, we can immediately begin work on the exterior. We have already
made substantial progress in gutting the interior and cleaning up the lot.
We are committed to making and keeping 2676 Harrison a property
that Oaks Historic District will be proud to claim. We aretrying to comply
with the requirements specified in the applicable ordinances and to proceed
in the prescribed manner; we ask your patience and assistance in helping us
to do so.
Re ectfully,
Gregory E. and Sandra L. Nelson

CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS
PPOP05E0 WORK
We propose to rehabilitate the structures, Including a single residence
home, detached garage and carport, located on the property. Our work will
include a modification of the front exterior of the home to allow an
extension of the master bedroom into the existing front porch area. The
modif !cation will require moving the existing front door and living room
window to the left approximately three feet but does not alter the essential
style of the home. Enlarging the bedroom area will pert It us to add a
second bath and larger closet which we think will enhancE ,onsiderably this
three bedroom home.
The exteriors of the home and garage are in such condition as to require
replacement of the roofs and the siding. The replacement roof will be of the
same composition materials with which it is currently roofed. The asbestos
siding will be replaced with wood siding which is appropriate for the style
and period of the house. We would expect the color of the siding and of the
trim to be approximately the same as that now on the structures. The
carport is somewhat visible from the street but is located entirely behind
the house. We plan to restore it to its original style and materials (steel
with tin roofing and a slight gable in the roof). It will be of the same color
as house and garage.
We propose to tastefully landscape the property by adding trees and
shrubbery, as allowed by the City of Beaumont Code of Ordinances, Section
30-31. We will also install wood fencing around the sides and back but note
that the wood fencing on the Dunkin' Donuts side will be new but unchanged
in style and height,
