Appeal Final Order - Laserfiche WebLink

Final Order: The Harry and Etta Chase House | HDM 21-1/ HA 21-3/ ARB 21-2 demolition when balancing this factor with others. The main argument under this factor was that the house, when constructed, was the abundant style of construction across the county. The full findings of the Board are included in Attachment A. Planning Commission’s Determination The Planning Commission finds that Baker’s assertion that the Chase Gardens Ensemble is essentially one of a kind in the Pacific Northwest is not supported by materials in the record. Additionally, the arguments that the Board ignored testimony do not explain how inclusion of testimony about the number of properties designated as National Register resources should have changed the decision of the Board. The Planning Commission finds that the testimony provided by Baker, of which a map was included, was provided to the Board for consideration. Based on the information, the Planning Commission finds that the Board’s determination on this factor was reasonable and it is unclear how the issues Baker raises are supported by the record or should have altered the Board’s decision. Factor 8: Consistency with and consideration of other policy objectives in the acknowledged comprehensive plan Appellant’s Argument Baker argues that the Chase Gardens Nodal Development Plan references the Historic Ensemble and the Masonic lodge as property that could accommodate infill housing at the property owners’ discretion. Here, the point made is that the policies should be understood to allow some form of infill development, but not full redevelopment. Baker also asserts that this point was missed by the Historic Review Board. Final Order Findings The Final Order of the Historic Review Board provides findings which address testimony from interested parties and discusses the applicant’s submittal. While the Board considered testimony from opponents, the Board ultimately found that the arguments raised by the applicant were sufficient to allow demolition when balancing this factor with others. This determination was focused on policies in the Metro Plan and Willakenzie Area Plan that clearly allow development of the subject property as high density residential despite the historic nature of the subject property and the ensemble. The adopted policies relied upon are provided below: Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan Policy I.1 Adopt and implement historic preservation policies, regulations, and incentive programs that encourage the inventory, preservation, and restoration of structures; landmarks; sites; and areas of cultural, historic, or archaeological significance, consistent with overall policies. Willakenzie Area Plan Policy: Chase Gardens Subarea 1. The City shall not require development of historic properties, but shall allow for eventual development of these sites as high density residential, with limited commercial opportunities, at the owners’ discretion. Rezoning to Historic District is encouraged as an alternative to the standard high density residential/mixed use zone. The full findings of the Board are included in Attachment A.
