The Historic Landmarks Commission will hold a formal Major Historic Design Review on January 17th. This is a nice note at the end of 2018 and for the start of 2019.
Proposal for 260 State Street |
Nothing flashy, but a strong nod to the early 20th century streetcar era.
At least that's how I read it.
Soon there will be things here! (from 2014) |
There used to be things there |
Tree Preservation
Back in the early fall of 2017 you might recall a note about some Sequoias near Chemeketa and 17th.
Last month the City denied an application to remove them.
And on also the 17th of January, the full Historic Landmarks Commission will hear an appeal.
Update, October 2021
After the denial in January of 2019, last month the owners finally satisfied the City's requirements to take out the two Sequoia trees.
Approval for removal |
Update 2, June 2022
Apparently the house was sold in 2020, and the new owner now faces more expensive permits under the recently revised tree code, since these are "significant" trees. But otherwise there is little new information of substance in the update.

So the trees will get to stay there?i hope so
After a few years of trying, the owners finally satisfied the City's requirements for evidence, and the City approved removing the trees.
(Added brief note on new front page story on the trees, which are pretty clearly coming down some time.)
