Washington County, Minnesota
RESOLUTION HPC 2023-11
DEMOLITION PERMIT FOR PARTIAL DEMOLITION OF A PRE-1946
STRUCTURE FOR 1014 FOURTH AVENUE SOUTH
WHEREAS, the City of Stillwater received a demolition permit application from
David Miller (“Applicant”), located 1014 4th Avenue South, legally described in Exhibit A
(the “Property”), regarding the partial demolition of a single-family home built in 1902; and
WHEREAS, the partial demolition is to facilitate the reconstruction of the single -
family dwelling being reviewed concurrently with a Design Permit review; and
WHEREAS, on the May 17, 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 approves the partial demolition. The approval
of the demolition is based on the following findings:
The proposed demolition meets 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 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 effectively deprive the owner of all reasonable
use of the site as the owner would be unable to convert the property to a
compatible and conforming use in its present condition . There is a situation
substantially inadequate to meet the applicant’s needs because of specific health
and safety issues.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Plans shall be consistent with those included in this report.
2. All minor modifications to the plans shall be approved in advance by the
Community Development Department. All major modifications shall be approved
in advance by the HPC. Determination of the distinction between “major” and
“minor” is defined in the Zoning Ordinance.
Adopted by the Heritage Preservation Commission this 17th day of June, 2023.
