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 the second Guthrie application.
Homebase Partner's newest proposal to demolish a historic structure reads more like anamendment to their original application (which you reviewed last summer) 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 to demolish, or move, a building on my property?... Generally, if the building
has been determined to be historically significant, final authority for the demolition ormovement shall rest with the City Commission."
Please do not abdicate your clear responsibility to our community.
Thank you, Michael Kelly
