Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />August 20, 2012 <br />Page 7of 10 <br />Jean Morgan inquired if there was any issue regarding the adjacency with the Virginia <br />Chavez property to the north. <br />DeJonganswered how the issue was being addressed. <br />Steve Poppitz stated he understood there were discussions regarding the property to <br />the south. <br />DeJongstated the current owners do not have interest in correcting the odd shaped lot <br />layout so this will have to be addressed at a later date with other owners. <br />John Leary addressed why he submitted the referendum of the ordinance. He added <br />he believed the costs of the original proposal was just toogreat for the HPF to handle <br />and the remaining monies would not cover the intent of the HPF and the protection of <br />the other structures of Downtown Louisville. He stated the reduction of funds would not <br />leave enough for other owners of historic properties to benefit from. He added the <br />financial forecast of the future use of the funds did not take into account projects which <br />could go above and beyond the capped HPF amounts if they have “extraordinary <br />circumstances” or if they needed a loan. <br />Stewart stated the struggle is regarding the appropriate use of the building. He added <br />this is the first acquisition project we have ever reviewed and we still have things to <br />learn. He hopes things work out the best way. <br />Fasick asked if the HPC could resubmit the last letter to City Council. <br />Stewart stated he believed the letter was presented to City Council at the last hearing <br />and he believed it was well received.
