Is this for the demolition review?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, at 1728 North Market Street request for demolition review.

Yes, a request for demolition review has been submitted per Section 423A of the land management code for the concrete block building at 1728 North Market Street.

Planning staff has determined that the structure is in whole or in part 50 years of age or older.

Based on this evaluation, the Historic Preservation Commission is charged with determining if the property is potentially eligible for historic designation.

A property is eligible for designation for a historic preservation overlay if it is at least 50 years an age and retains historic integrity and it meets at least one of the following criteria.

If it's associated with events or cultural groups that have made significant contributions to the broad patterns of history, is associated with the lives of persons significant in history, is likely to yield information important to prehistory or history, or exhibits significance in design or construction.

Aerial imaging shows that the concrete block structure was built between 1964 and 1970.

By 1983, a large readition was constructed.

The property is also documented on a 1975 plat.

For many years, the site was used as Paul Hefner and Sun, a store that sold television to televisions and appliances.

Staff has found no evidence that the site is associated with events or cultural groups that have made significant contributions to the broad patterns of history, or that is associated with the lives of significance person of significant persons.

The building does not exhibit significance in design or construction, and therefore staff recommends that the commission not initiate an application for designation.

Thank you.

Thank you, Ms.
