[MassHistPres] preferably preserved

[Alicia Primer]

Weston does not consider cost of renovation. Were we to do so, nothing would ever be saved because building new is often less expensive than restoration... And most every developer considers restoration costs burdensome.

Thank you for your response.  The house has already been deemed historically significant.  It also has significant structural issues.  It has been looked at by two members of the HC, the building inspector and a preservation consultant who determined the cost of restoration.  I don’t know whether the HC should take into consideration the cost of restoration if the developer knew the age of the house and the fact that Mendon had a DDB.

Subject: RE: [MassHistPres] preferably preserved I would suggest that in your posting for the meeting you indicate that informed comments and opinions will be considered;  in writing by (a convenient date,) or verbally at the meeting. 
It is also possible that a consultant could be retained with a background in preservation. it may be late for this; is there a time constraint?

Subject: [MassHistPres] preferably preservedThe Mendon Historical Commission is having a hearing to determine if a building should be preferably preserved.  This hearing is a first for the HC.  What criteria do other commissions use to determine if a building should be preferably preserved?  Any advice will be appreciated.                                                                                                                                                                               Regards,                                                                                                                                                Jane Lowell    Mendon HC
