RE: Cedarhurst Gardener's Cottage — City Registration of Historic Site
Introduction
On February 2oth, a public hearing on the designation of the Cedarhurst Gardener's
Cottage as an historic site was continued at the applicanYs request. The applicant has
since requested that the application be withdrawn. No further action is necessary.
Background
The City of Cottage Grove's Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and
the City Historic Preservation Officer (CHPO) nominated the Cedarhurst Gardener's
Cottage, 9912 — 70th Street South, to the Ciiy Register of Historic Sites and Landmarks.
The registration is a condition of approval of the historic places conditional use permit
(HCUP) which would allow for construction of a new house and allow the existing
historic home to remain on the three-acre parcel at 9912 — 70th Street South. Under
current ordinance criteria, and the resolution of approval for the FiCUP, the new home
cannot be constructed without the historic registration.
The property owner has concerns about the impact of the designation on insurance
premiums, and future real-estate transactions, and did not wish to proceed with the
designation at this time.
Recommendation
1. Withdraw the public hearing and designation of tne Cedarhurst Gardener's Cottage
9912 — 70th Street South as an historic site.
