BOARD/COMMISSION REVIEW:
On January 25, 2024, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) considered a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for the property owned by Moses Khalil, MKJH Remodeling, LLC (together referenced herein as "Petitioners"). The COA sought approval to allow the demolition of the primary fa?ade that went beyond the scope of approval of the HPC, and additional exterior changes that the Petitioners propose to the primary fa?ade of the home at 223 Center Street. The HPC denied COA #23-4821 (denied 5,0). The Petitioners have appealed HPC's denial to the City Council, seeking approval of the additional demolition that was already completed as well as additional changes proposed to the front elevation.
