Applicant Request
Level II. Major repair or replacement of materials or architectural elements
Satellite dishAfter-the-fact review of the demolition and reconstruction of the house. Foundation, structural sheathing (likely original or early wood siding), interior flooring and framing systems, exterior siding, and window and door fenestrations have been removed. Currently remaining from the structure are approximately thirty studs, which are not connected to a foundation and hang suspended from a roof, which is supported by a temporary bracing system. The roof has been replaced under the existing COA (7-C-19-HZ).
Applicant describes scope of work as the following:
"Complete replacement of foundation instead of partial. ... None of the original foundation is salvageable." "Interior floor system and walls must all be replaced due to extreme water and termite damage, see attached pictures. Wall framing on the 33' section of the house remaining to be retained as much as possible. Most of the studs in the walls will remain except for at the corners. New window/door headers must be installed to meet building codes. Additional jack studs required to be placed under 2x12 floor joist framing for bearing. Existing sill plates for all exterior walls must all be replaced." "Corner boards are replaced as part of the siding replacement, all are unsalvageable."

The Purpose of Design Guidelines:
The purposes of the design guidelines are to ... provide guidance for decisions regarding the demolition of property.
The Neighborhood Conservation District Design Guidelines apply only to the addition of space to an existing building, the construction of new buildings, or the demolition of existing buildings.
J. Demolition
Property owners may demolish structures in the NC-1 District that the Knoxville Historic Zoning Commission finds to be non-contributing to the district. In the future, the Historic Zoning Commission shall take the following into account in making their determination about whether or not a building may be demolished.
1. Physical Condition: The HZC may allow demolition of a building that has been condemned by the City of Knoxville for structural reasons, or if the HZC finds that structural problems and associated costs to address the problems warrant demolition; the demolition shall be based on an assessment by a licensed structural engineer or architect.
2. Architectural Integrity: The HZC may allow demolition if the original design is so compromised that historic architectural integrity is lost and cannot, in the Commission's view, be reasonably re-established.
