Commission seeks photos of Lwood farmhouse before demolition, asks staff to check demo-permit status of Tulichfield barn
Summary
After an earlier presentation, commissioners asked the developer to arrange access to photograph the Lwood farmhouse before demolition (subject to safety and owner permission) and asked staff to verify whether the demolition authorization for the Tulichfield Road barn has expired and whether the building remains a hazard.
At the end of the agenda, a commissioner reminded the commission that, following an earlier presentation by Elwood, he and Jim Butler had requested access to photograph the Lwood farmhouse before demolition. Members said the applicant agreed to seek permission from the owner but has not yet followed up; the chair said he would contact planning staff (Kelly) to attempt to coordinate access if the owner will allow it and if it is safe.
Commissioners also raised a year-old demolition authorization for a hazardous barn on Tulichfield Road that the commission had previously blessed. A member said the barn still stands and asked staff whether any demolition permit had expired or whether the building inspector has updates; members acknowledged pending litigation with the property owner could affect timing. The commission asked staff to check permit status and any building-inspector findings and report back.
Next steps: chair to contact staff about the Lwood farmhouse access; staff to confirm demo-permit status and building-inspector information for the Tulichfield Road barn and provide an update at a future meeting.
