  MEMO

TO:  Historical Preservation Commission

FROM:  Richard Miga, Assistant Code Enforcement Officer

DATE:  9/21/26

The Building Department has reviewed and received a demolition and/or substantial
modification application for 417 Prospect Ave by the property owner for the expanded scope of
modification for a one-story addition on the rear of the dwelling. The previous scope of the
second-floor expansion on the east side of the dwelling was permitted and under the threshold of
the demolition/substantial modification requirements. The aggregate area of all modifications
now meets the requirements of 112-3 based on the following criteria:

Existing Structure: 963.5 sq. ft.

50% threshold per VEA 112-3: 481.75 sq. ft.

Initial scope of modification (second floor east addition): 393 sq. ft.
Expanded scope of modification (first floor south addition): 133.3 sq. ft.

New Aggregate area of demolition/ substantial modification: 526.3 sq. ft.

Village Code section 112-3 requires that any demolition activities and/or proposed substantial
modifications that meet the applicable thresholds therein be referred to the Historical
Preservation Commission for their review and recommendation before the Village Board review.

Village Code section 112-5 requires the Historical Preservation Commission to provide a written
recommendation to the Village Board on the exterior architectural design, scale, and impact of
character of the existing structure and surrounding neighborhood.

If you have any questions, please get in touch with me at 652-7591.
