A motion was made by Bruce Dennis and seconded by Susan Thompson to approve the May th 24 2010 with Dan’s corrections and approved by all. 4.Discussion on proposed project located at 315 South Parker Drive. Shawn and Kim Ray were present to discuss the proposed project on their home located at 315 South Parker Drive. The home owners are looking to replace a series of windows & doors, replace their front porch, add storm/screen doors, remove a non-functioning chimney, and raze a small garden shed. They are seeking approval from the Historic commission on their proposed plans. Susan Thompson and Tim Maahs had previously met with the home owners to review the project in detail. Thompson and Maahs both supported the proposed improvements that the Ray’s want to make. There was discussion on materials, restoring a more original look to the property and time frames. The commission did not have any recommendations to alter the proposed plans that the Ray’s were presenting. There was a motion by Bruce Dennis and a second by Ken Wolfe to approve this project. Dan Atwood stated that this would fall in compliance with Section II of the states guidelines. All approved and the permits would be provided to the home owners later that week. th 5.Update on the June 8 Downtown Development Alliance Meeting th Dan Atwood and Bruce Dennis attended the June 8 Downtown Development Alliance (DDA) Meeting to present the newly printed guidelines for the Downtown. They stated that it was difficult to ‘read’ the reaction of the attendees. There was no real reaction to the presentation. The Commission discussed this at length and recommended that we needed a representative from the downtown to aid the Historic Commission in promoting these guidelines. Brittian Grafft was recommended to be that contact person. Brad stated that it was very important for the Commission to get the downtown business owners excited and involved. Brad also recommends that the Commission take a second look at the size of the proposed historic overlay district stating that it may prove more difficult to win support for these additional regulations and review if it is too large. Bruce states that he proposed that the DDA own the process and take the primary lead with this effort. The historic commission can support this process 100%, but if the DDA was ehind all of this, it would have much more credibility to it. Bruce’s point is to show that this really is a joint effort and he feels this will go along way for the charge. The commission agreed with these recommendations. Dan will continue to work with the DDA on this. Preview of Downtown Projects: 6. Christine Moore requests that this standing agenda item be removed for the time being. 7.Matters Not on the Agenda: a.Two volunteers are needed to review the project at 120 Jackman. Bruce and Kim th agreed to take this project on and report back at our June 28 meeting. b.Dan asked Gale to update us on the requirements for fencing in the Court House hill as he had a neighbor contact him about the process for approval to fence in their yard. Gale stated that a permit was required for this and that it would come to the historic commission for review and approval prior to issuing the permit. c.We need to get the review of the downtown overlay on next meetings agenda. d.The Case Feed building will be discussed at the City Council meeting later th tonight (June 14) and Gale stated that it was not looking good for anyone to be able to step in and save the property. He felt that it may end up being razed because the current owner is no longer interested in investing any more money into repairs. 8.Next Meeting – Monday, June 28, 2010 Adjournment: 9. A motion was made by Susan Thompson and seconded by Bruce Dennis to adjourn the meeting at 6:07 pm.
