Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Historic Resources Commission (CC 3117) is charged, in part, with identifying structures, groups, districts and sites of historic and architectural significance. As part of this responsibility, the commission provides recommendations to City Council regarding potential listings on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties. An application (attached) has been made by Jane Dill Makari (Owner) in cooperation with the City of Columbus Historic Preservation Officer to list the property located at 290 Cliffside Drive (formerly the Gilbert Hamilton House, built in 1926) on the local register. The commission hosted a public hearing on December 21, 2017 at which they voted unanimously to recommend listing of the property on the Columbus Register based on the following criteria outlined in CC 3117:
· “The design or style of the property’s exterior and/or interior is of significance to the historical, architectural, or cultural development of the city, state, or nation.”
· “The property is closely and publicly identified with a person who has significantly contributed to the historical, architectural, or cultural development of the city, state, or nation.”
Listing of this property on the local register will accommodate its previous listing on the National Register of Historic Places (listed 12/16/92). The 290 Cliffside Drive property is listing #72 on the Columbus Register of Historic Properties. Local and national listing makes the site eligible for historic tax credits and provides Historic Resources Commission rehabilitation guidelines standards and oversight in perpetuity.
FISCAL IMPACT: None
