Application for Demolition
Please Print
Standards
The Historic District Commission is charged with insuring the Maintenance and Preservation of Buildings in the Manistee
Commercial Historic District. Under exceptional circumstances a request may be made for the demolition of all or a
portion of a building. The City of Manistee Historic District Commission defines the demolition of all or a portion of a
building as a reduction in the footprint or elevation or a portion of an elevation of a building. The Historic District
Commission uses the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation as interpreted by the Preservation Briefs.
Contributing Buildings in the Manistee Commercial Historic District may be eligible for both Federal and State Tax
Credits. By demolishing a portion of a building the owner may forfeit eligibility. Owners are advised to have all
demolition plans reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office prior to application for demolition to determine if
the demolition may jeopardize tax credits.
This box must be checked by the applicant indicating that they have read and understood the requirements for tax
credits or do not wish to pursue tax credits. If this box is not checked the application will not be processed.
Submission of Application
This application must be received by the City at least 15 days prior to a regularly scheduled monthly Historic District
Commission meeting. The meeting is held the first Thursday of the month at 3:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers, City Hall,
70 Maple Street, Manistee, Michigan unless it is a legal holiday. Applicants are strongly encouraged to conduct a
preliminary discussion with staff and attend the meeting to explain the proposed work.
As part of the review of the Application the Historic District Commission will schedule a Site Visit during the meeting to
review the structure. The Historic District Commission reserves the right to request additional information from the
applicant prior to a final decision on requests. Incomplete requests will be returned to the applicant to supply needed
information for review.

Description of Work
Be specific and describe the proposed demolition – Use additional sheets if necessary.
Manistee historic records indicate that the 337 River Street building was constructed in 1880. City maps demonstrate a rear addition
was added sometime between the 1930's-1950's. This rear addition only, is being proposed for demolition. The original structure
built in 1880 shall remain intact.
Over the years, pressure from the sloping earth on the south wall of this rear addition, has led to deterioration of the south brick wall.
Chronic water seepage into the structure through the deteriorated south wall, has also led to dry rot of the south floor joists. These
damages leave the existing structure unsafe. A complete demo and rebuild of this rear addition, is in favor of an attempt to repair.
The demolished rear addition, will be rebuilt, similar in size and appearance to the existing structure, yet with the addition of a east
side garage door and roof deck. These changes will improve the safety, aesthetics, and function of the existing rear structure.
Justification of Request
1. Whether reasonable measures can be taken to save the historic structure or site.
Due to the deteriorated nature of the south wall, it is advised under the guidance of the building
engineer and contractors, that the existing structure be demolished and rebuilt, over attempts to repair.
2. The condition of the structure and its probable life expectancy.
The current condition of the rear structure is poor and unsafe. During an extreme weather event, the south
wall would be vulnerable to immediate collapse.
3. The reason for demolishing the structure and whether or not alternatives exist.
A large displaced horizontal crack extends the length of the south brick wall, causing the wall to bow inward. Chronic water seepage into
the structure through this crack, has also led to dry rot of the wood joists supporting the floor. There are safety concerns, should the south
wall collapse inward. There are also health concerns related to the potential of hazardous mold growth from chronic the water leakage.
4. Whether or not relocation of the structure would be a practical and preferable alternative to demolition.
Relocation would not be practical due to the structures existing location, which is attached to the rear of the
original structure built in 1880.
5. The public necessity of the proposed demolition.
There are safety concerns, should the structure spontaneously collapse. Water seepage into the structure
also poses a risk of harmful mold growth, with the consequent potential of human respiratory exposure.
6. The public purpose or interest in the land or building(s) to be protected.
The front facade, which contributes to the City of Manistee's downtown historical character, will be protected
and restored. The rear structure, proposed for demo, functions as storage for the buildings private owner.
The rear structure serves no direct function to the general public, and is not visible on River Street.
7. Whether there are definite plans for the reuse of the property if the proposed demolition is carried out,
and what the effect of those plans would be on the character of the surrounding area.
The plan is to rebuild the rear addition, similar in size and appearance to the existing structure. The new structure will include the addition of a
deck on the roof, as well as a sided covered stairway leading from the ground to second floor. A carriage house style garage door, and 6 panel
wooden man door, will be added to the east side of the structure. These improvements will improve the aesthetics as well as function of the
existing structure.
8. Whether the historic structure or site is capable of earning reasonable economic return on its value.
Due to it's deteriorated condition, the current rear addition to be demolished depreciates the value of the 337
River Street property. Demolishing and rebuilding this portion of the building, will significantly increase the
current property value.
9. Whether or not the proposed demolition could potentially affect adversely other historic buildings or the
character of the historic district.
The demo will not involve, nor adversely affect other historic buildings. Rather, leaving the structure as is, currently does pose an adverse effect.
The proposed renovations will improve safety and aesthetics, and will be in keeping with the architectural characteristics of the historic district,
and the style of its era.

After Demolition of rear addition
FACADE SHAPE
The concepts and characteristics presented on the following page are those of the existing architecture which should
determine the “rough” shape, size and location of the in-fill facade.
Yes No Height - Historically commercial buildings are generally similar in height. An in-fill building should not be
much higher or lower than the mean height of surrounding structures.
Yes No Roof Forms - The roof type of an in-fill building should correspond to those of adjacent buildings. On
commercial streets, this usually means a flat roof not visible on the front façade.
Yes No Width - An in-fill building should reflect the characteristic width of facades on the street. Wider facades
should be broken down into a series of smaller “structural” bays.
Yes No Relationship to Street - An in-fill building should have a relationship to the street (primarily an issue of
set-back) which is consistent with neighboring facades.
Yes No Facade Proportion - The characteristic proportion (relationship of height to width) of existing facades
should be respected.
FACADE DESIGN
The concepts and characteristics presented on this page are those of the existing architecture which should determine
the “detail” design of the in-fill facade.
Yes No Visual Composition - The visual composition of the in-fill facade (that is, the organization of its visual
parts) should be similar to that of surrounding facades.
Yes No Facade Rhythms - Visual rhythms which unify the blockscape in their consistency (window and storefront
rhythms) should be incorporated into in-fill facades.
Yes No Proportion of Openings - The size and proportion of window and door openings should be similar to
those on surrounding facades. The same applies to the ratio of window area to solid wall for the facade
as a whole.
Use of Materials - An in-fill facade should be composed of materials which relate to adjacent facades
Use of Colors - The colors chosen for an in-fill facade should tie it to its neighbors
First Floor/Garage
Yes No Siding – full face brick installed over 2x4 studs or Clapboard Siding on east wall of garage
Yes No Garage Door – 10’ x 10’ Overhead Fiberglass Garage Door
Yes No Passage Door - six panel wood door
Yes No Rain Gutter – Necessary to control and remove all roof water
Lighting – Carriage style light
Second Floor/Deck and wood sided covered stairway
Yes No Deck – Wooden Deck with 42” high guardrail and 4” Balusters
Yes No Siding – 4” Wooden Clapboard Siding
Yes No Doors – Two New 6’8” x 3’6” panel wood door
Yes No Roof – Stud Roof with Gutter and downspout
Yes No Window – 24” x 36” Jeld Wen Double hung window
Lighting – Two shielded exterior lights on east side of enclosed stairway
