Summary
As required by a prior COA, staff reported that property owner of 802 Green Street had not begun the approved repairs to the skylight and that no permits were observed; staff said a group had contacted city staff but no work on the ground had started.
Staff told the commission there had been no known progress on repairs to the skylight of the former First Baptist rotunda at 802 Green Street, despite a COA approval that allowed repairs and included a 90-day update condition. Planning staff said a preservation/restoration group from Savannah had made inquiries about permitting, but no building or mothballing permits had been applied for and no on-site work had started.
The commission had approved COA 2528 in April to permit repairs and set a condition for a 90-day status update; staff said the owner remains within the COA’s six-month initiation period but that no permit activity was evident. Staff advised that mothballing, stabilization or repair permits coordinate through code enforcement/permitting channels and indicated they would follow up with code enforcement and the property owner.
Commissioners requested continued tracking and an update at a future meeting if permitting activity begins.
