Board Comments:
iThe Landmarks Board voiced concern about the loss of the resources (particularly 275 10th Street), about the quality of the project materials submitted to the Department and the Board, and about the 106 Review process in general. We were particularly concerned that preservation alternatives had not been sufficiently formulated for our review.
iThe Landmarks Board wanted to further convey to the State Historic Preservation Officer that we did not believe the alternatives for preserving parts of the site’s historic fabric had been adequately explored or documented. In devising such alternatives, the Landmarks Board believes that the entire site should be considered so that one of the buildings, or a portion thereof, can be preserved. As noted earlier, the Landmarks Board expressed particular desire to see 275 10th Street considered for preservation.
iThe Board has ongoing concerns for the historic resources located in the South of Market area. While we understand that much needed housing is being proposed for this area, we also know that there are many unrecognized resources that may be lost. To fully understand the implications of the area’s further growth, we think the citywide survey efforts should focus on this area.
Board Actions:
It was moved by Board Member Damkroger (seconded by Maley) to approve the recusal of Board Member Street. The vote was unanimous.
