Hello Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and Commissioners, In order to maintain a consistent scope of
authority, and an honest, transparent process, please reclaim your review authority over thesecond Guthrie application. Homebase Partner's newest proposal to demolish a historic
structure reads more like an amendment to their original application (which you reviewed lastsummer) than a new application. It is appropriate that you should again be the reviewing body.
Our NCOD design guidelines clearly state on page 10 the following: "What if I want todemolish, or move, a building on my property?... Generally, if the building has been
determined to be historically significant, final authority for the demolition or movement shallrest with the City Commission." Please do not abdicate your clear responsibility to our
community.
Thank you,
Benjamin Stevens
