Ordinance Language for the Removal of Historic Landmark Designations The Preservation Ordinance sets forth the following language for the removal of a historic landmark designation in Section 19-48. (d): An application to withdraw the creation of a historic district, or the designation of a landmark or landmark site, may be made when the original reason for the designation no longer exists. An application for withdrawal shall be processed in the same manner as an application for approval. History of the Removal of Historic Landmark Designations Since the Preservation Ordinance was adopted in 1987, only one designated property has had the designation removed. The Tomahawk House, located on Old Hundred Rd, was designated a historic landmark on November 2, 1989. The designation was removed by action of the Board of Supervisors on December 13, 1995 after being totally destroyed by fire in October 1994. Clarke House Designation History Margaret Robertson applied for the historic designation of the Clarke House on April 19, 1988 as the owner of the property. The designation occurred on July 27, 1988 by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors as case 88HP0009. The case was approved due to the following: 1. This is a distinguished building of high architectural quality and historic interest; and 2. This designation will cause no significant adverse effect on the future development of the County. The only condition placed on the case was that this designation shall not present an obstacle to the relocation of Hopkins and Centralia Roads. A copy of the staff report for case 88HP0009 and Board of Supervisors minutes is attached.
