with the recent regulations regarding ADUs, most discussion about such development is off <br />the table. <br />Because the house at 922 S Birch Street has a front yard setback that is nonconforming, <br />(greater than neighboring <br />homes and on the street), and because of the location of the existing ADU on the property, in <br />order to grow the <br />existing 111 year old house in size building out from the front facade has become an option <br />that is being considered <br />for approval at this time. <br /> <br />Had 922 S Birch Street been listed in Appendix A, had the location of the existing ADU <br />allowed for size <br />of proposed addition to be built at rear of house or had the front yard setback been conforming <br />to neighbors, <br />a proposed major residential addition on the front of the existing house requiring the <br />demolition of an over 100 <br />year old front facade with intact architectural character defining features that contribute to the <br />over all historical <br />look and feel of the street, neighborhood and SD-40 - perhaps then an argument for <br />preservation would be possible. <br />Looking toward the future for preservation of historical resources in Heninger Park the <br />following needed measures <br />have been identified, • update to Appendix A with additional properties, • update Heninger <br />Park’s existing <br />architectural survey, • identify, find, secure funding to enable aforementioned measures. <br />I support the Recommended Action: Adopt a resolution approving Site Plan Review No. 2022- <br />04 as conditioned. <br />Sincerely, <br />Ginelle Hardy <br />Heninger Park, President <br />Historic Resources Commissioner <br />ginelleann@gmail.com
