Staff reports repairs to Thompson Ford building; commission to consider COA route
Summary
Staff reported partial wall failure and planned repairs at the Thompson Ford building near the Liberty gas station and asked whether the commission should require a COA; building official has reviewed the plan and is amenable to the repair approach.
Staff updated the commission that the Thompson Ford building requires roof repairs and partial wall replacement where a brick wall facing the Liberty gas station is bowing.
Staff said the owner intends to remove the failing section and rebuild a brick wall with windows; the building official reviewed the proposed plan and indicated it is acceptable. Staff asked whether the commission should require a Certificate of Appropriateness for the partial wall work. Commissioners indicated this is likely appropriate because the work affects a visible façade element and COA review may be necessary.
Next steps: Staff will follow up with the owner and prepare any COA application materials if required for a future hearing.
