Home My WebLink About04-20-15 Martin Statement. pdf Apology and Statement By Brian G. Martin 402 W.Koch St, Bozeman Mayor Krauss and Commissioners,thank you for-the opportunity to speak this evening. My name is Brian Martin and I am the owner of the property at 402 W. Koch St. As my recent actions have caused public outcry, I thought it important to come before you this evening and clarify the situation as well as to apologize. To begin,I want dispel the rumors circulating that my wife Anne and I are careless bulldozers of historic property. The fact is we do care,and by viewing the approved blueprints of our proposed and approved project, one can clearly see the attention taken to recreate a historic design. To those in shock and disbelief over the destruction of our home, I can appreciate your reaction given the City's public notice that reads "rehabilitation of the existing residence",and my building permit that states "interior remodel&addition" The blueprints approved by the City called for far more than an interior remodel. Rather, these blueprints clearly and essentially illustrate a tear down with the exception of three 8' exterior walls,which I will show you in a moment. First,however,I would like to demonstrate that the new approved structure will in fact emulate the old. I Exhibit 1. HOLDUP NEW AND OLD As you can see,it is, and always has been our desire to replicate the look of the original bungalow. F Now,the deconstruction project as approved. E Exhibit 2. HOLD UP AS BUILT AND REMOVAL AS APPROVED These drawing demonstrate the original structure and the near complete removal as approved. It is my belief that given the description of the building permit,public shock and anger would have prevailed. k_ Exhibit 3. HOLD UP WINDOW REPLACEMENT AND ENGINEERING 1 This drawing shows the remaining windows that were to be replaced with new energy efficient units. The approved print called for all new window framing to I include double headers,kings, and trimmers. The shaded area around the window shows the area disturbed by the necessary engineering. It was our choice to remove r- the remaining siding vs.patching in new siding against old creating a Frankenstein patchwork effort. Additionally, 2012 International Building Code Section 316, recently adopted by the City of Bozeman calls for an uninterrupted layer of exterior hard board foam insulation installed between the exterior side of the wall stud and the siding..-Siding removal and replacement is not a new practice on historical properties,and can be witnessed on the recently completed restoration by my neighbor Dr.Jerry Wheelers home on 3ra. Exhibit 4. HOLD UP FRAMING DRAWING This drawing represents what is left of our home after the siding is removed. Keep in mind all interior lathe and plaster was also to be removed for insulation. So this is an accurate representation. Surface area calculations have been run, and at this point over 80%of the original building had been approved for removal. It was only at this point that I should have stopped the deconstruction and consulted the City about the necessity to move further. I didn't because I was faced with some unforeseen structural issues that needed to be addressed quickly,and as incredulous as it may sound, I just didn't think about the need to go back to the City at that moment. Facing me was a floor system deemed both unsafe and unfit due to the presence of mold,rot, and additional structural deficiencies. Given this unsafe condition of the floor system,I then proceeded to remove the floor, and in the process had to remove the last remaining wall studs sitting upon it. With only the foundation remaining,I called another engineer to view the integrity of the foundation. I even have video of a portion of the west wall being tipped over by one single fool" Sadly the engineer found the foundation to be severely compromised in areas and replacement recommended. Certainly it seemed,better to do it now than after the new home was built on it. In closing, I ask the Commission and City to consider the facts as presented and take into careful consideration the importance to my neighbors the timely re-review of E my original plans for an expeditious return to work on the previously approved structure. I ask the commission to appoint a person as a point of contact that can answer the necessary questions I have about set back approval,rescinding of the stop work order, or other procedural hurdles. I kindly ask that whatever need be approved by the commission at these public meeting be placed on the docket for next week.
