SECTION 3: APPLICANT’S PROPOSAL
Applicant’s Narrative for the Demolition Request
“
The Cottonwood and Ida project is proposed and has been approved as a PUD that has gone through countless hours of design, review and public meetings. The associated demolition of some of the existing structures was contemplated
with the PUD and Site Plan applications. There are four structures located on the
property as referenced in Ariel image below. Three of those structures (A,B&C) are buildings and sheds that once were a business known as Tinworks which fabricated custom sheetmetal. These three structures were likely built around 1960 and subsequent remodel in 1989 for the continued purpose of sheetmetal
fabrication. There are not mentions of these structures in any historical records.
Recent history the vacant Tinworks facility has served as a pop-up art venue for installations of modern art as noted by the graffiti on the buildings. The structure noted as building D on the demolition site plan is planned for a renovation. This structure has a historic form that was completed as part of the PUD process and
is listed as a "non-contributing" element. The renovation will incorporate the
interior crib-construction walls that were once part of the granary as well as the metal elevator structure. Details on elevations and plans can be found in the site plan documents SP1 #20234. The historic information sheet can also be found in this application Appendix M
