SPECIAL MEETING 1) CA-1847: Request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the demolition of a house and the construction of a new home. Location: 2185 South Street Applicant: McVaugh Builders, LLC Mr. Richardson presented the staff report and stated that the request was tabled J Historic Landmark Commission August M, 2010 from the August 9"' meeting. McVaugh Builders, LLC has applied for a certificate of appropriateness to demolish the house at 2185 South and build a new house at the same location. The house received hurricane damage. The new 858 sq. ft. house will be sided with bardie plank. Windows will be one over one panes. The house shall be constructed on pier and beam. The body of the house will be painted Sherwin Williams "Peace Yellow" (SW2857) and the trim will be painted Sherwin Williams "Caribbean Coral" (SW 2854). 2185 South is listed in the 1990 SPARE Beaumont Survey. The house was built c. 1917. SPARE states that the house is typical of middle class housing built in Beaumont after the first Spindletop boom. At the time of the survey, the use of modern materials had sacrificed the architectural integrity of the structure. Slides of the subject property were shown. Commissioner Turner stated that he visited with Ms. Marshall, the property owner, and walked through the home to survey the damage. Mr. Turner's opinion is that the house could be repaired for considerably less that the official estimate. Mark Healy of the Shaw Group addressed the Commission Chris Calhoun of McVaugh Builders addressed the Commission. Commissioner Broussard made a motion to deny a Certificate of Appropriateness to allow the demolition of a house and the construction of a new home at 2185 South Street as requested in CA-1847.
