An addendum, dated Sept. 2, 2008, to the application was provided.

Mr. Lieberman opened the public hearing. No comments were received, and the hearing was closed. Mr. Lieberman moved to approve the demolition permit, noting that the addendum completes the nine required steps and that the portion of the house to be demolished was not part of the original structure.
