The overall structure shows clear signs of wear and tear,making repairs impractical,which has been determined by a local contractor.The garage does not have any water access,plumbing,heat,insulation,sheet rock or plaster in the structure.Given its condition,I believe demolition is the most sensible path forward rather than continucd upkeep or renovation. Architectural Signiﬁcance The garage has no distinguishing architectural detail,historic designation,or design features connecting it to the character of the surrounding neighborhood or the main residence.Its removal will not affect the architectural integrity of the property or the community. Future Use of the Site I do not intend to construct a replacement structure.Following demolition,the site will be leveled and graveled. I respectfully request the Board's review and approval of this request.I am happy to provide any additional documentation the Board may require. Thank you for your time and consideration.
