Re: Application #23321
I am writing to you regarding Demolition DEM, Neighborhood Certificate of Appropriateness NCOAapplication #23321 (314 West Villard).
This application will demolish a currently affordable rental that is within the Neighborhood
Conservation Overlay District and is a classic midcentury structure, critical to the historical integrity
of the Figgins Addition neighborhood.
This proposal clearly does not conform to the Overlay District Standards (Sec. 38.340) to stimulatethe restoration and rehabilitation of structures, and all other elements contributing to the characterand fabric of established residential neighborhoods and commercial or industrial areas. Newconstruction will be invited and encouraged provided primary emphasis is given to the preservationof existing buildings and further provided the design of such new space enhances and contributes tothe aesthetic character and function of the property and the surrounding neighborhood or area…
The demolition of this house and the design of the Layercake Townhomes as depicted in the
application are completely antithetical to the Overlay District requirement. It could not be plainer.
Please do not approve this proposal.
Thank you for your consideration.
