Demolition Review Application for 310 E Miller St.
Sheri Johnston began the staff report by stating that the purpose of this request is to demolish
310 E Miller St. It was constructed in 1920 therefore making it less than 100 years old. It is not
individually listed on the National Historic Register, part of a Local Historic District, or
designated as a local landmark. A 2008 architectural survey identified the property as being
eligible for the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion C. The Second Baptist
Church, owner of the property, wishes to demolish the structure for parking and future
expansion. The staff recommended form of motion is that there will be no historic properties
affected and that the demolition application be approved. Nathan Percy moved to approve the
demolition review application for 310 E Miller St. Bill Case seconded. Motion passed with
Steve Hoffman voting nay.
