City Council
Agenda Item Summary
Meeting Date: 11 July 2006
Prepared by: Sean Conroy, Associate Planner
Name: Consideration of an appeal of the Historic Resources Board’s decision to deny a request to remove a property located in the Single Family Residential (R-1)District from the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources. The appellant and property owner is Doreen Silva (W/s Carpenter bet. 3rd & 4th).
Description: The appellant seeks removal of the property from the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources. Approval of the appeal would overturn a decision of the Historic Resources Board and result in removing the property from the list.
Staff Recommendation: Grant the appeal.
Important Considerations: The subject property has been included on the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources that was adopted as part of the Local Coastal Program in 2004. The structure was constructed in approximately 1898 as a barn and converted to a residence in 1937.
CMC 17.32.070 states that a property identified as an historic resource on the Carmel Inventory shall be presumed historically significant and shall not be removed from the City's Inventory unless substantial evidence demonstrates that it is not an historic resource.
Decision Record: The Historic Resources Board denied the applicant’s request to remove the property from the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources on 21 March 2006. The applicant filed an appeal with the City Clerk on 31 March 2006.
CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
STAFF REPORT
FROM: SEAN CONROY, ASSOCIATE PLANNER
DATE: 11 JULY 2006
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF AN APPEAL OF THE HISTORIC
RESOURCES BOARD’S DECISION TO DENY A REQUEST TO
REMOVE A PROPERTY FROM THE CITY’S INVENTORY OF
HISTORIC RESOURCES LOCATED IN THE SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL (R-1) DISTRICT.
SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION
Grant the appeal.
Basis for Appeal: The appellant is requesting that the subject structure be removed from the City’s Inventory of Historic Resources for the following reasons:
1) The structure has lost its physical integrity due to additions and alterations.
2) The structure does not convey an association with the historic themes of agriculture and transportation.
HRB’s Review:
In summary, the HRB’s decision to deny the appeal was based on the following points:
• The structure is a rare example of a particular property type in the City.
• National Register Bulletin #15 allows for greater flexibility for additions and alterations if there are few or no other extant examples.
• While the structure has been converted into a residence, the form of the orginal barn is still visibly clear.
