Extension of Special Certificate of Appropriateness for 1574 Druid Road South
Summary:
Mr. Philip and Mrs. Amanda Wolf of 1574 Druid Road South are three-quarters of the way through extensive renovations of their historic home. Due to the nature of these upgrades, and the impacts of COVID-19 on sourcing materials and labor, Mr. and Mrs. Wolf are unable to complete these changes by the timeframe set up in their Special Certificate of Appropriateness (SCOA). Hence, the applicants are asking the Historic Preservation Board and the Commission to grant a one-year extension to their SCOA, putting the completion deadline to November 20, 2021.
This extension provides for no major changes to the original plans that the Historic Preservation Board and the Commission approved in November of 2018.
Please note that following the completion of the renovation, the applicants will be required to return to the Historic Preservation Board and Commission to complete the SCOA and historic tax exemption processes...End
