Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 15, 2015 <br />Page 9 of 14 <br />Koertje stated he does not want to bring in alteration certificates into this <br />discussion at all. <br />Haley stated the background to this was it would help homeowners to <br />understand what they were getting into - upfront education. <br />Koertje stated the alteration certificate is a whole different discussion — we <br />are primarily discussing demolition review. <br />Watson states the ability to landmark you property makes sense for <br />landmarking, because it gives the volunteer property owner the opportunity <br />to landmark. He believes demo review makes more sense to create a fixed <br />date. <br />Stewart asked if he was leaning more towards Option #3. <br />Watson answered affirmatively. <br />Stewart asked what happens 100 years from now. <br />Watson stated the master plan is only a 20 year plan. <br />Fahey stated that would leave out some potentially important structures. <br />Koertje asked what we are trying to find a solution to. He believes the <br />program is working fine. <br />Echohawk stated that is why Option #4 makes most sense because we <br />should follow the national standards. She stated we need to educate the <br />Council on the importance of a rolling time period. She stated historic <br />preservation does not plan, it honors the past. She then discussed some of <br />the issues she had while watching the last council meeting when this topic <br />was discussed. <br />Fahey stated establishing the first 50 years of Louisville's existence, 1938, <br />misses a lot of potentially significant structures. <br />Echohawk states the word "rolling" should not be used, only "50 year mark ". <br />Haley stated in reading through the cons, the statement of not following the <br />national and state regulations stands out the most to me. We should stay <br />consistent with the national and state regulations. She stated she likes <br />Option #4. <br />Fahey stated she agrees with Haley and votes for Option #4. <br />The commission agreed Option #4 is the best option and the program is <br />currently working well. <br />
