HomeMy WebLinkAboutOne Year Extension of the McGee Sketch Plan COA Commission Memorandum REPORT TO: Honorable Mayor Krauss and City Commission FROM: Courtney Kramer, Historic Preservation Officer Tim McHarg, Planning Director Chris Kukulski, City Manager SUBJECT: Request for an extension of the McGee Sketch Plan Certificate of Appropriateness with Demolition (#Z09145). MEETING DATE: October 4, 2010 AGENDA ITEM TYPE: Consent Agenda RECOMMENDATION: That the City Commission approve of a one year extension, to October 4, 2011, of approval for the McGee Sketch Plan Certificate of Appropriateness with Demolition for the project a 332 South Church Avenue, approved by the City Commission on October 13, 2009. BACKGROUND: On October 13, 2009 the Bozeman City Commission approved the McGee Sketch Plan Certificate of Appropriateness with partial demolition of a structure found to be “contributing” to a potential historic district. The Commission’s approval included partial demolition of the existing residence, reconstruction of a two story house on the same footprint, demolition of the accessory garage, and construction of a new accessory garage with a second floor Accessory Dwelling Unit. COA approvals are valid for one year, and the owner may apply for a building permit any time within that year. The applicant submitted a request via email to extend the approval period for financial reasons. The Planning Director frequently extends COA approvals for another year after the original approval, but since the original approval was a Commission action, the Commission must approve of the COA extension. UNRESOLVED ISSUES: None. ALTERNATIVES: The Commission could deny the request for extension of the COA approval. FISCAL EFFECTS: The project, once constructed, will increase the taxable value of the property and increase the City of Bozeman’s revenue from the property. Attachments: C. Kramer’s October 13, 2009 letter to the applicant informing them of the City Commission’s approval of their project.
