MEMORANDUM
To: Chair Miller and Members of the Historic Preservation Board
From: Amy McNally, Associate Corporation Counsel
Date: January 16, 2026
Subject: Remand Order - 42 Atlantic Street - HPBR-002814-2024
_____________________________________________________________________________
_
On May 29, 2024, this Board approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for new
construction at 42 Atlantic Street. An abutter appealed that decision to the Planning
Board pursuant to Section 2.2.11 (A) of the City’s Land Use Code. The Planning Board
affirmed, and the abutter thereafter appealed to Superior Court pursuant to Section
2.1.12 of the Land Use Code and Rule 80B of Maine Rules of Civil Procedure. On
November 19, 2025, the Superior Court issued the attached order remanding the
matter to this Board with instructions to issue “findings of fact and conclusions of law
adequate for judicial review.”
The City anticipates that this Board will meet on two occasions to address the Court’s
remand order. The purpose of the first meeting, currently scheduled on Wednesday,
January 21, 2026, will be to review the order and discuss next steps. That meeting will
be a good opportunity for any board members to ask questions about the process
and the Board’s responsibilities, but the Board will not engage in substantive
deliberations or take any vote on the matter at that meeting.
The second meeting is currently scheduled on February 4, 2026. At that meeting, we
expect Board members to review the Board’s prior decision, the relevant standards
and the evidence in the record and develop written findings which support the
Board’s 2024 decision. Please note that the Court’s Order does not require the Board
389 Congress Street, Room 211 Portland, Maine 04101 | t: 207-874-8480
Page 4
to revisit the merits of its original decision, but instead directs the Board to expand
on how and why it reached its decision to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness.
In order to participate in the hearing on February 4th, it will be important for each of
the available Board members to review the entire record that was before the Board
when it made its decision in 2024, including the relevant portions of the video of the
workshops and public hearings which are all available on the City’s website.
Recordings, applicant materials, staff memos, and public comment from the relevant
reviews can be found at the below links:
- March 6, 2024, Workshop:

- May 29, 2024, Public Hearing:

I hope this is a helpful introduction to the process that lies ahead. I look forward to
working with you at the upcoming meetings and answering any questions you may
have.

RE: 2025 Historic Preservation Program Recap
MEETING: January 21, 2026
_________________________________________
The following is a summary of the reviews conducted by the Historic Preservation Program over
the 2025 Calendar year:
Received* Approved*
Board Reviews 9 12
Administrative Reviews 84 83
Permit Reviews 507 452
*The number of received and approved applications differ as applications are not always approved in the year they were received. Many Board

the applicants.

In 2025 the Board recommended that the Maine Historic Preservation Commission approve the
following National Register Nominations:
− The Western Cemetery (6 Vaughan Street), January 8, 2025
HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD RULES
On June 18, 2025, the Board voted to adopt new procedural rules.
HISTORIC DESIGNATIONS MAPPER
On August 29, Historic Preservation staff launched a new interactive web-based map of Portland’s
Local Historic Designations: http://portlandmaine.gov/HistoricDesignationsMap
This built on work to improve the Historic Designations page of the city website. Funded by a
Certified Local Government Grant from the Maine Historic Preservation Commission, the city
digitized several thousand pages of survey forms and original photos produced in the 1990s, which
were then organized by Historic District and Street and are now available as searchable and
bookmarked PDFs on the City’s website: https://www.portlandmaine.gov/1548/Historic-Designations
1
Page 14
The new interactive map provides searchability by address and parcel, as well as the ability to
navigate visually to a desired location and select a parcel. Once a parcel is selected, basic
information is provided such as address, property name (as applicable), and date of construction.
The map also provides links to useful resources such as district designation reports, property
descriptions/survey forms, 1924 tax photos and other historic images held by the Maine Historical
Society, and historic maps such as the 1914 Richards atlas and several Sanborn Fire Insurance
Maps.
In addition to the interactive map, this project included updated PDF maps of all 12 Historic
Districts, which are graphically consistent and show parcel addresses. These have been added to
the Historic District web pages along with the original designating maps.
Figure 1: New static city-wide map of Portland’s Historic Designations.
CLG GRANTS
In 2025, the City of Portland completed restoration of the Lincoln Park Fence along Pear Street,
marking the milestone of completing restoration of half of the park fence. The project was funded
through a $30,000 CLG grant, a $90,000 donation from the Friends of Lincoln Park, and time
from Parks and Recreation staff.
In 2025, the City of Portland was also awarded three new CLG Grants:
− $3,783 to support staff attendance at Forum 2026 (a national preservation commission
organized by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions).
− $14,332 as a pass-through grant for design work for foundation repair of the Fifth Maine
Museum on Peaks Island. The Fifth Maine Museum will provide $4,778 in matching funds.
− $13,257 as a pass-through grant for replacement of the Casco Street bulkhead at
Mechanics’ Hall. Mechanics’ Hall will provide $10,000 in matching funds.

HISTORIC RESOURCES DESIGN MANUAL
Over the course of 2025, the Board held three workshops to review updates to the Historic
Resources Design Manual. These workshops were held on May 21, September 3, and November 19
following a first workshop on November 20, 2024. This is the first major update of the Manual
since 1992 and is anticipated to be completed in early 2026.
HIGHLIGHTED BOARD APPROVALS
360 Spring Street – HPBR-003092-2025
On January 8, 2025, the Board voted to approve construction of a new gymnasium at the
Waynflete School, replacing an existing non-contributing gymnasium.
Figure 2: Rendering of the approved new gymnasium viewed from the corner of Orchard and Fletcher
Streets.
23 Waterville Street – HPBR-003262-2025
On April 2, 2025, the Board reviewed the classification of an existing garage, and found that the
garage did not contribute to the historic character of the Munjoy Hill Historic District. This review
was the first application of a clarified process for determining the classification of buildings that
were not specifically identified in a historic designation. This process was clarified as a part of the
Land Use Code update adopted by City Council at the end of 2024.
Figure 3: Photo of the garage found to be noncontributing.

248 Congress – HPBR-003304-2025

School. The approved windows will be more historically accurate than the current replacements.

am writing to apply for a Residential Alternation permit at 95 Beckett Permit Type Permit Work Class Date Issue Date Permit Status
Street to replace the front steps of my porch, which were in a poor state.
My father and I initially replaced the front porch steps in late December
without realizing that we would need this permit. However, after speaking
with Dimitri Baumann, we were informed that we should apply for a
Residential Alteration permit after the fact. We have also been in touch
with Robert Weiner at the Historic Preservation department.
I will attach a document with a drawing of the stairs, the plot plans of the
property, and photos of the stairs before and after the repairs.
Please note that we replaced the stairs using the same design as the
original stairs. We used the historical parts as templates when we were
cutting the new stairs. The only change in design was that the historical
stringers were only connected via nails into 1"x3" non-pressure treated
boards hanging from the porch deck. We replaced this by adding 4"x4"
pressure treated posts and the stringers attached to posts by steel plates
secured by treated screws.
We understand that some of the design of the stairs are likely not up to
current code. However, because we replicated the design of the historical
stairs, are understanding is that the stairs would be grandfathered in.
Please let us know if that is not the case.
There are still a few steps remaining on repairs. The goal is to recreate the
skirt as it was (including the triangles) in the next couple of months and
then paint the steps to match the rest of the porch once the pressure-
