This building is at the rear of the lot we own which contains the brick fourplex at 1100 Rock Street known as the Ber-Dud Apartments. At that time we were denied a demolition permit on the grounds that this is a historic building within a Historic District and an attempt should be made to salvage it either by moving it to another location or renovating it at its present site. Since the denial we have proceeded with a restoration of the fourplex at 1100 Rock Street. We have invested a great deal in doing this, and we are very proud of the results. We are currently doing the final punch list and have begun seeking tenants. We would be pleased to show the members of the commission and city staff through the building. As work has progressed at 1100 Rock Street, we have given a lot of thought to what should be done with 315 E. llth. Because we feel strongly that we need to provide well lighted, off-street parking for our future tenants at 1100 Rock Street, we feel the need to remove the structure. We have offered to donate the building to anyone to would like to move it. We have offered to contribute the cost of demolition along with the building. We have been hoping that someone with land and the need for such a structure would surface, but this has not been the case. It may be that it is just not the quality of building that someone would want to invest in. We have done some investigating about the cost of redoing the house as rent property at its present site and have found the cost to be prohibitive for us. We feel good about our investment in the Members of the Historic District Commission Tom Johnson, Chairman John Bush Jeanette Heinbockel Carl Menyhart, Jr. February 10, 1992 Page 2 fourplex as a solid contribution to the Historic District. We feel putting a great deal of money into what is, at best, a very flimsy building at 315 E. llth, would be unwise for us as a family. We are asking for a rehearing because we are in a quandry as to what should be done. There is no question that if the property were landscaped and we were able to offer off-street lighted parking, we would be doing between than we have so far on our leasing of 1100 Rock Street. Prospective tenants are concerned about what they see. We realize fully, the difficult position in which this places the Historic District Commission. We will support your decision. We certainly want to do all we can to be contributing members of the District. In 1977 I was one of the original investors in Cumberland Square Apartments which was a risky venture at the time, and I certainly want to continue to support quality development downtown. We appreciate your consideration of this matter. Sincerely, r+'�'JL C. Joseph Giroir, r. CJGjr:sg cc: Robert Johnston, President, Quapaw Quarter Assn.
