Historic preservation officer says deed restrictions and facade easement can protect Jackson House
Summary
The citys historic preservation officer told council that deed restrictions and a facade easement could help retain the Jackson Houses historic view shed even if ownership transfers to a private buyer; staff offered to assist prospective owners with historic repair resources.
S4, the citys historic preservation officer, told council she would remain involved if the property is sold privately and described tools the city can use to protect the facade and view shed, such as deed restrictions and a historic facade easement that would preserve exterior appearance while allowing interior changes.
S4 said the city can provide technical resources to future private owners (masonry, siding, woodworking contacts) but that physical restoration costs would be the buyers responsibility. Council members asked that deed restrictions explicitly include commemorative elements discussed earlier (for example, a memorial to Orville Jackson).
