NRD-2015-0119 1806 W 10th Street Council District 9 Proposal: Demolition of a circa 1932 house Applicant: Pecan Valley Homes, City Staff: Beth Johnson, Historic Preservation Office, 974-7801 Staff Recommendation: While the building is a nice example of a vernacular style residential structure commonly found in Clarksville and it retains much of its architectural integrity, the occupational history researched on this property did not turn up any historical or cultural associations with this property. While Staff encourages the applicant to reuse the structure or consider relocation, we cannot recommend imitating historic zoning on this property as it does not meant the criteria for Historic Landmark designation. Staff does recommend a postponement to the December 14, 2015 meeting to allow the neighborhood and staff time to discuss alternatives to demolition.
