RESOLUTION ADOPTING FINDINGS FOR DENIAL FOR DEMOLITION OF A
PRE-1946 STRUCTURE FOR 708 PINE TREE TRAIL
WHEREAS, the City of Stillwater received a demolition permit application from
Richard and Wendy Gagne, represented y Joshua Gagne (“Applicant”), located 708 Pine
Tree Trail, legally described as in Exhibit A (the “Property”), regarding the demolition of a
single-family home built in 1880; and
WHEREAS, the on April 19, 2023, the Heritage Preservation Commission for the
City of Stillwater considered the request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Heritage Preservation
Commission of the City of Stillwater hereby denies the demolition. The denial of the
demolition is based on the following findings:
The proposed demolition does not meet the requirements of the Stillwater Demolition
Ordinance, Sec. 31-215:
1. Demolition of the resource has been evaluated against and, on balance, has been
found that demolition is not supportive of the goals and policies of the
comprehensive plan and relevant area plans, taking into account factors such as:
the merits of proposed new development on the site, the merits of preserving the
resource, and the area's desired character; and
2. Denial of a demolition permit would not effectively deprive the owner of all
reasonable use of the site and there is a reasonable ability to rehabilitate the
property.
Adopted by the Heritage Preservation Commission this 19th day of June, 2023.
