Gibb, Director of Community S EConamia Dev. Dept. RBI Council Action Regarding Bangor waterworks DATE: March 9, 1994 At a recent workshop the City Council requested that options related to the Historic Preservation Commission's denial of the City's application, be placed on the City Council Agenda. There re 2 options on the agenda for consideration. Of course, a third Option is to take no action. These options are summarized as follows: 1. Appealing Historic Preservation Cousission's Decision - The City has the option, within 30 days of the HPC decision to appeal the decision to the Zoning Board of Appeals. 2. Resubmitting An Application to HPC - The second Council Order would direct the City Manager to submit an application to the HPC for partial t demolition / removal of the waterworks site. AS drafted, this Order would authorize the City to request permission toremove the Superintendents House from the site and to demolish up to 7,000 square feet of floor area. no specific location of the area that might he demolished would not be determined in the application but in concert with a development proposal. 3. No Action - The City would take no action and market the property "as is". An option associated with this scenario is a -change in the historic preservation ordinance which would make permitting Partial demolition of a historic property, in conjunction with a rehabilitation project, leas onerous and time consuming. Staff will be prepared to discuss these and any other options at the Council meeting. ARG/rp roweumwerca:n.
