Re: File #HD-32-25 – Demolition at 310 NW Broad Street
I. SUMMARY OF APPLICATION REQUEST:
Andy Bleggi of PTAH, LLC, requests a Certificate of Appropriateness – Major Work to
demolish two (2) existing single-story commercial service/garage buildings constructed circa
1975.
Continuation
This application was originally heard before the Historic District Commission on February
12, 2026. At the request of the applicant, the Commission voted to continue the matter.
Following that meeting, the applicant elected to revise the submission and divide the proposal
into separate applications, with the first application addressing demolition.
II. SITE INFORMATION:
A. Property Address
310 NW Broad Street, Southern Pines, NC (Parcel ID 00035341) and 115 W.

B. Applicant
Andy Bleggi, PTAH, LLC
C. Property Owners
PTAH, LLC
D. Historic Background
The subject properties are not located within the Southern Pines National Register
Historic District, but are within the locally designated Historic District and are therefore
subject to Historic District Commission review.
The site contains two existing single-story commercial/service garage buildings
constructed circa 1975 which do not contribute to the National Register Historic District.

2. Application Deemed Complete: December 31, 2025
3. Notice of February 12, 2026 HDC Evidentiary Public Hearing:
• Posted On-site: January 23, 2026
• Mailed: January 23, 2026
• Internet: January 22, 2026
4. Notice of March 12, 2026 HDC Evidentiary Public Hearing:
• Continued by Action of the Board on February 12, 2026.
2. Application Materials
A complete application has been submitted including:
• Application form and demolition narrative
• Photographs of existing conditions
• Supporting documentation
3. Criteria for Review – UDO 2.28 Certificate of Appropriateness – Major Work
Each criterion is listed below in bold, followed by italicized staff comments.
A. In considering an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness, the Commission shall take
into account the historical and/or architectural Significance under consideration and the
exterior form and appearance of any proposed additions or modifications to that structure
that are visible from a public Right-of-Way. The Commission shall not consider interior
arrangement or use.
The proposal now involves only the demolition of two non-contributing buildings visible from NW
Broad Street and W. Connecticut Avenue. Staff evaluated the proposal in relation to surrounding
contributing resources, established streetscape patterns, and the Historic District Design Guidelines.
B. The Commission shall consider the following factors when determining whether
the application is or is not congruous with the historic aspects of the Historic
District:
1) The height of the building in relation to the average height of the nearest adjacent and
opposite buildings.
(Design Guidelines, p. 52)
This criterion applies to new construction. Because no new construction is now proposed, staff
find the criterion to be inapplicable.
2) The setback and placement on lot of the building in relation to the average setback and
placement of the nearest adjacent and opposite buildings.
(Design Guidelines, pp. 52–53)
Page 8 of 40

[PAGE 9]
This criterion applies to placement of new construction. No new building or relocation is proposed
as part of this revised application, therefore staff find this criterion to be inapplicable.
3) Exterior construction materials, including texture and pattern.
(Design Guidelines, p. 54)
This criterion evaluates materials of proposed construction or alterations. Based on applicant
revisions to the original application, no new materials are proposed, therefore, staff find this
criterion inapplicable.
4) Architectural detailing, such as lintels, cornices, brick bond and foundation materials.
(Design Guidelines, p. 55)
This criterion applies to detailing associated with new construction or alterations. No such work
is proposed; therefore, staff find this criterion inapplicable.
5) Roof shapes, forms and materials.
(Design Guidelines, p. 56)
This criterion evaluates proposed roof design or alterations. No roof changes are proposed;
therefore, staff find this criterion inapplicable.
6) Proportion, shape, positioning and location, pattern and size of any
elements of fenestration.
(Design Guidelines, p. 55)
This criterion addresses window and door design in proposed construction. No fenestration is
proposed; therefore, staff find this criterion inapplicable.
7) General form and proportions of buildings and structures.
(Design Guidelines, p. 52)
This criterion evaluates the massing of proposed buildings. No new building is proposed; therefore,
staff find this criterion inapplicable.
8) Appurtenant fixtures and other features such as lighting.
(Design Guidelines, p. 57)
This criterion applies to exterior fixtures associated with new work. None are proposed; therefore,
staff find this criterion inapplicable.
9) Structural conditions and soundness.
The buildings are circa-1975 commercial service structures that are not designated landmarks
and are not identified as contributing resources within the Historic District.
Page 9 of 40

[PAGE 10]
10) Architectural scale.
(Design Guidelines, p. 51)
This criterion concerns how new construction relates to historic buildings. No new construction is
proposed; therefore, staff find this criterion inapplicable.
11) Secretary of the Interior Guidelines.
The Standards (Department of the Interior regulations, 36, CFR 67) pertain to historic
buildings of all materials, construction types, sizes, and occupancy and encompass the
exterior and the interior, related landscape features and the building’s site and
environment as well as attached, adjacent, or related new construction. The Standards
are to be applied to specific rehabilitation projects in a reasonable manner, taking into
consideration economic and technical feasibility.
1. A property shall be used for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that
requires minimal change to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and
environment.
2. The historic character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal of
historic materials or alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property
shall be avoided.
3. Each property shall be recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use.
Changes that create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural
features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be undertaken.
4. Most properties change over time; those changes that have acquired historic
significance in their own right shall be retained and preserved.
5. Distinctive features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of
craftsmanship that characterize a property shall be preserved.
6. Deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced. Where the
severity of deterioration requires replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature
shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where
possible, materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by
documentary, physical, or pictoral evidence.
7. Chemical or physical treatments, such as sandblasting, that cause damage to historic
materials shall not be used. The surface cleaning of structures, if appropriate, shall be
undertaken using the gentlest means possible.
8. Significant archeological resources affected by a project shall be protected and
preserved. If such resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be
undertaken.
9. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy
historic materials that characterize the property. The new work shall be differentiated
from the old and shall be compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural
features to protect the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
10. New additions and adjacent or related new construction shall be undertaken in such
a manner that if removed in the future, the essential form and integrity of the historic
property and its environment would be unimpaired.
Page 10 of 40

[PAGE 11]
Staff finds that the subject buildings are not designated historic landmarks and are not
identified as contributing structures within the National Register Historic District. Based on
available documentation, staff does not find that demolition would remove recognized
character-defining features of a designated historic resource.
C. Prior to approving the application, the Commission shall make the following
findings:
1) Work is compatible and appropriate in preserving, retaining, repairing, or restoring the
defining historic character of a property and the district. Specifically, the work is
considered compatible and appropriate in terms of material, design, dimensions, mass,
scale, orientation, color and other applicable considerations;
2) Work does not damage or remove significant character defining features of the building
and will not adversely affect its contribution to the larger historic district; and
3) Work is consistent with the adopted design guidelines for the historic district.
Staff finds that the proposed demolition involves two non-contributing buildings and does not
remove designated historic resources. Staff therefore find that the request for demolition to be
consistent with applicable demolition provisions of the Historic District Design Guidelines and
Town’s Unified Development Ordinance.
4. Factors for Consideration Regarding Demolitions in the District
Both the UDO and the Design Guidelines address requests for demolition of structures within
the locally-designated historic district. Section 2.28.5 of the UDO, closely following NC General
Statutes, states: “An application for a Certificate of Appropriateness authorizing the relocation,
demolition, or destruction of a building or structure within the Historic District may not be
denied. However, the effective date of such a certificate may be delayed for a period of up to
three hundred sixty-five (365) days from the date of approval. The maximum period of delay
authorized by this section shall be reduced by the Commission where it finds that the owner
would suffer extreme hardship or be permanently deprived of all beneficial use of or return from
such property by virtue of the delay. During such period, the Commission may negotiate with
the owner and with any other parties in an effort to find a means of preserving the building. If the
Commission finds that the building has no particular Significance or value toward maintaining the
character of the Historic District, it shall waive all or part of such period and authorize earlier
demolition or removal. In every case, the record of the Commission’s action shall include the
reasons for its action.”
The Historic District Design Guidelines address requests for demolition as follows (p. 26):
“The Historic District Commission must approve a request for demolition or relocation of a
historic building or structure. In considering a request for demolition or relocation of a building
or structure, the Commission may not deny a Certificate of Appropriateness, but it can delay the
Page 11 of 40

[PAGE 12]
issuance of a certificate for up to 365 days in order to negotiate with the property owner and
any other parties to find a means of preserving the building on site. However, the Commission
can authorize, and not delay, demolition or relocation if:
1. The owner will suffer extreme hardship or be deprived permanently of all beneficial use of
the property by virtue of the delay; or
2. The Commission finds that the building or structure has no special significance or value to
maintaining the character of the district.”
The Town of Southern Pines’ Historic District Design Guidelines offers the following information
to assist the commission in their decision-making with regard to the demolition of structures in
the district:
“In evaluating an application for the relocation or demolition of a historic building or structure,
the Historic District Commission considers the following information:
▪ Historic significance of the individual building or the accessory structure;
▪ Contribution of the individual building to the overall historic district;
▪ Effect of relocation or demolition of the building on the historic district;
▪ Structural condition of the historic building.
Applicant and Commission Questions for Relocation and Demolition
▪ Does the building represent an important architectural style?
▪ Is the building of special historic or cultural significance?
▪ Does the building exhibit important character-defining features that are unique or not found
elsewhere in the district?
▪ Will loss or moving of the building adversely affect the historic district or
the streetscape?
▪ Is there a new development or use that will benefit the overall district while
meeting the adopted design standards for development in the historic
district?
▪ Have all efforts been exhausted to consider alternatives to relocation or
demolition?
Relocation and Demolition – Recommended Practices
✓ Make every effort to preserve a building rather than relocate or demolish it;
✓ Evaluate multiple rehabilitation and use alternatives;
✓ Seek assistance from the Historic District Commission or other preservation interests to
determine opportunities for alternative uses, funding, etc.
✓ Consider sale of the property to other interested investors;
✓ Document the building in photographs and plans for archival purposes;
✓ Salvage important architectural features or historic materials;
✓ Stabilize and restore the site of the building so that it does not detract from the historic district;
✓ Use a licensed building professional when moving a historic building;
Page 12 of 40

[PAGE 13]
✓ Identify a relocation site that is similar in physical characteristics and context to the original
site and retain the original orientation of the building in the new location.
Relocation and Demolition – Discouraged Practices
x Demolishing a historic building without considering options for preservation or sale;
x Moving a stable historic building to another location;
x Demolishing or moving a historic building without documenting the property.”
The North Carolina State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) provides resources to local
historic district commissions, including a Handbook for Historic Preservation Commissions in
North Carolina, jointly published by the SHPO and Preservation North Carolina. See: Handbook
for Historic Preservation Commissions in North Carolina; Preservation North Carolina and State
Historic Preservation Office, North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources, Division of
Archives and History; 1994.
Guidance language in this publication with regard to the demolition of structures within a local
district includes:
“Demolition Guidelines – The goal of demolition guidelines is to find a means to prevent the
destruction of significant properties. These are key issues in evaluating proposals for demolition:
1. The effect of relocation on the property’s integrity and special significance.
2. The effect of a property’s removal from a historic district on the district’s special character.
3. The effect of a property’s relocation into a historic district on the district’s special character.
The SHPO Handbook further advises that determinations regarding a property’s contribution to
the special character of a district may be guided by the following elements, as well as any adopted
guidelines:
1. Properties with individual significance, such as those that would qualify as landmarks in their
own right.
2. Properties with no individual significance, but which nonetheless contribute significantly to
the district’s special character.
3. Properties that contribute little to the district’s special character.
4. Properties that detract from the district’s special character.
And lastly, the Handbook provides the following advice on decisions regarding
demolitions:
1. “If the commission chooses to delay demolition, it is required by law to actively seek a means
of preserving the property. A demolition delay that accomplishes nothing will alienate local
property owners, who will view the delay as pointless. On the other hand, working out a
preservation solution for the endangered property will reap public relations benefits for the
commission.”
2. “Delay of demolition or relocation is at the commission’s discretion. However, state law
specifies two circumstances in which the commission must waive or reduce the delay period:
Page 13 of 40

[PAGE 14]
a. The commission finds that the property owner would suffer extreme hardship or be
permanently deprived of all beneficial use of or return from the property because of the
delay.
b. The commission finds that a building or site within a historic district has no special
significance or value toward maintaining the character of the district.
The standard of “extreme hardship” applies only to the effect of a delay of demolition or
relocation. The standard of “extreme hardship” should be interpreted according to the
normal meaning of these words. It is not the same as the “practical difficulties or unnecessary
hardship” standard used by boards of adjustment in applying zoning ordinances.”
5. Additional Staff Comments
1) Staff note that NCGS 160D-947(d) allows local preservation commissions to formally request
non-binding technical guidance from the State Historic Preservation Office (HPO) on
Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) applications by tabling the case, voting to invoke the
statute, and submitting a written request through staff to the HPO’s Local Government
Coordinator, who then has thirty days to respond in writing.
2) Staff note that once a Certificate of Appropriateness is approved, all demolition remains
subject to applicable codes, ordinances, and permitting requirements. Any modifications are
subject to Minor or Major classification and appropriate review; and that any conflicts
impacting public safety shall be resolved in favor of the more stringent standard. See the Draft
Certificate of Appropriateness – Major Work for more details.
IV. AGENCY COMMENTS
A request for comments was emailed to agencies on January 23, 2026. Agencies notified include
Town of Southern Pines Streets, Utilities, Fire, Recreation and Parks, and Engineering departments,
the Regional Land Use Advisory Commission (RLUAC), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Moore County
Airport (when applicable), the Moore County Economic Development Partnership, and the North
Carolina Department of Transportation. “No comment” was formally received from the Moore
County Economic Development Partnership and RLUAC. The NCDOT responded that they will
become involved if there will be new utility connections within their ROW, or if lane configurations
are needed on NW Broad Street to accommodate the proposed parking spaces.
V. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 160D-949, and Section 2.28.5 of the Town’s Unified
Development Ordinance, the Historic District Commission may either approve the Certificate of
Appropriateness for demolition or impose a delay for a period of up to 365 days. Based on the
evidence presented, Planning Staff do not recommend the imposition of a demolition delay.
Therefore, Staff recommend approval of Certificate of Appropriateness – Major Work HD-32-25
for the demolition of two existing buildings.

*Staff note: The applicant’s original submittal materials for the “Doug’s Auto Site” included
information related to both existing conditions and a proposed redevelopment of the site. The
applicant has subsequently modified their application and the current application before the Historic
District Commission is limited to demolition only. Any materials depicting or describing proposed
new construction are included for context but are not part of the application under consideration
and should not be considered by the Commission in its decision.
Additional documents related to this application including, but not limited to: property deeds, email
correspondence, meeting minutes, and adjacent property notification records are on file in the Town of
Southern Pines Planning Office and available for public inspections during normal business hours.
VII. HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION ACTION
Section 2.28.4(A) of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) states that the Historic District
Commission shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny an application for a Certificate of
Appropriateness – Major Work based on the criteria established in UDO Section 2.28.20. However,
when the application involves the demolition of a structure within the District, the Commission’s
authority is limited by both UDO Section 2.28.5 and North Carolina General Statutes. In such cases,
the Commission may either approve the demolition or impose a demolition delay for a period up to
365 days.
To either approve or delay a Certificate of Appropriateness – Major Work application, the Historic
District Commission must make findings of fact and conclusions to the applicable standards. The
Historic District Commission shall first vote on whether the application is complete and the facts
submitted are relevant to the case. The Historic District Commission shall then vote on whether the
application complies with the Criteria for a Certificate of Appropriateness, including the Principles
and Guidelines of the Historic District. Staff has prepared Draft Findings of Fact for the Commission’s
consideration which can be found below. The Commission may discuss, amend and/or adopt these
Findings of Fact.
Staff have drafted the following motions for the convenience of the Board:
I move to:
1) Adopt Attachment One of the Staff Report, as drafted, as Findings of Fact.
-OR-
2) Adopt Attachment One of the staff report as Findings of Fact, with the following changes:

“ATTACHMENT ONE”
FINDINGS OF FACT
Case Number: HD-32-25
1. The Historic District Commission finds that the application is complete and that the facts
submitted are relevant to the case because the request for a Certificate of Appropriateness
(COA) Major Work approval has met the specified submittal requirements as outlined in the
Town of Southern Pines Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Appendices. The applicants
have submitted adequate evidence addressing the criteria for a COA Major Work, including
images, and relevant documentation. The evidence provided includes sworn testimony by
qualified experts and substantiated materials.
2. The Historic District Commission finds that the application complies with UDO §2.28.5(A)
and UDO §2.28.10(A)-(C), the Town of Southern Pines Historic District Design Guidelines,
and the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation, for the following reasons:
A. The Commission finds that demolition of the two existing single-story
commercial/service garage buildings will not adversely affect the historic character of
the district. Based on the evidence presented, the buildings were constructed circa
1975, are non-contributing to the National Register Historic District, and do not
possess architectural or historical significance under local historic district criteria.
(Design Guidelines, p. 95)
3. Therefore, based on the findings above, the Historic District Commission concludes that the
proposed work meets the applicable standards for a Certificate of Appropriateness – Major
Work. The Certificate of Appropriateness, as drafted, is incorporated herein and approved
subject to the conditions and limitations stated therein.
