Commission approves replacement chimney at 1321 Armstrong after staff finds severe deterioration
Summary
Commissioners approved demolition and reconstruction of a severely deteriorated brick chimney at 1321 Armstrong Avenue, conditioned on submittal of precise replacement dimensions to staff before demolition.
The commission approved a certificate allowing demolition of a deteriorated south‑side chimney at 1321 Armstrong Avenue and required the applicant to submit exact replacement dimensions prior to demolition.
Staff presented photos showing removed stucco and crumbling brick and recommended replacement where repair is not feasible. "The chimney is significantly damaged so removal can be appropriate," staff said, and noted the proposed replacement would replicate the existing profile using brick and a river‑sand mortar mix similar in color and texture.
Commissioners supported the approach and approved the certificate subject to a condition that the size and specific measurements of the replacement chimney be submitted to staff before any demolition work begins.
