Historic Lancaster Commission approves demolition and carriage-house-style replacement at 150 King St.
Summary
The Historic Lancaster Commission unanimously approved an application by Ethan and Anastasia Shonk to demolish a termite-damaged garage at 150 King St. and construct a new three-car, carriage-house-style garage with vinyl shake siding; staff noted additional city permits will be required.
The Historic Lancaster Commission voted unanimously March 18 to approve an application by Ethan and Anastasia Shonk to demolish a termite-damaged garage at 150 King St. and replace it with a three-car garage designed in the style of a carriage house.
The applicants told the commission the existing structure had sustained significant termite damage and “lacked historical character.” They proposed a new garage with vinyl shake siding and roofing shingles to match the primary residence. The applicants confirmed the garage doors will face the alley and that the structure will be built within the property boundaries.
Commissioner Jason Annecy moved to approve the application as submitted; Commissioner Debi Stemble seconded the motion, which carried unanimously. Staff member Andrew (City staff) told the Shonks that additional City permits would be required before construction could begin.
The approval authorizes the Certificate of Appropriateness for the demolition and replacement as presented; contractors and the property owner must secure any other permits or inspections required by City ordinance before starting work.
The commission’s action concluded the agenda discussion of CA-00566; no conditions to the Certificate beyond standard permitting were recorded.
