Staff Recommendation
APPROVE PR (Planned Residential) zoning.
APPROVE a density of 1 to 2.5 du/ac.
APPROVE A (Agricultural) / HZ (Historical Overlay Zone) for 2 acres containing Boyd Harvey House.
APPROVE Secretary of Interior's Standards as Design Guidelines.
PR zoning at up to 2.5 du/ac is compatible with the surrounding development and zoning pattern.
The Boyd-Harvey House, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985, is significant for its architecture, its representation of early settlement patterns in Knox County, and its association with the Boyd family - Thomas (1754-1814); Thomas (1781-1876) and James Baxter, and after 1920, James R. Harvey. It is one of a few remaining brick homes built in Knox County before the Civil War, and has endured fewer changes than any of the others, so that it's 19th century architecture is apparent and significant.
