HDC approves final renovations at 20 South 4th Street after staff findings
Summary
The commission granted final approval to demolish a non‑contributing restaurant addition and to build a one‑story addition with a new door, ramp and separate restroom at 20 South 4th Street; the application was found compliant with district guidelines.
The Historic District Commission voted to grant final approval for the renovation and limited demolition at 20 South 4th Street, a project represented by Cynthia Jenkins as agent for the property owner. Jenkins told the commission the enclosed porch slated for demolition was added about 10 years ago and "does not have historical value," and that the project is intended to improve the restaurant's function while respecting the historic Salvador House fabric. (Cynthia Jenkins, agent).
Staff reviewed the application against the downtown historic district guidelines and the secretary of interior standards and recommended the design met requirements for height, scale, massing, setbacks and materials subject to technical review. A motion to approve the case was made, seconded and passed on a roll call with unanimous affirmative votes; board comments urged sensitivity during demolition and a requirement that siding match the existing historic fabric when repairs are made. The decision was recorded as final approval to proceed to required technical review and permitting.
