Title

APPEAL HEARING - Appl. #PRERP2017-004 - Exterior Renovation Permit for Façade Improvements - 6 SW 3rd St; Shane Veritasi, applicant.

 

Body

Issue/Request:

On May 23, 2017 the Long Range Planning and Special Projects Department received an application for an Exterior Renovation Permit for the 6 SW 3rd St property. This property is located within the Downtown Core Area, as designated by the Downtown Master Development Plan, adopted as a part of the Lee’s Summit Comprehensive Plan on May 10, 2005.

The applicant requests approval to replace the aluminum fascia below the transom windows and replace the stucco bulkhead with white marble.

The Lee's Summit Downtown Historic District is located within an 11.4-acre area generally located at the intersection of 3rd Street and the Missouri Pacific Railroad alignment. The irregular District's northernmost boundary is 2nd Street and its southernmost boundary is 4th Street. The western boundary is Market Street and the eastern boundary is the southeast alley between Douglas and Green Streets.

The District includes thirty-nine contributing buildings, two contributing structures, and one contributing site. With only seven non-contributing resources, 81 percent of the resources contribute to the significance of the Lee's Summit Downtown Historic District. The majority of the buildings within the District are One- and Two-Part Commercial Blocks constructed between 1880 and 1955.

The subject property, 6 SW 3rd, has had some alterations which detract from its architectural integrity.  However, the building retains much of it historic significance and as part of the extant portion of the Browing Block is a contributing element in the historic district.

 

Recommendation

Recommendation: Staff recommends Denial of the exterior renovation permit.
