Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes August 20, 2018 Page2of3 Chuck Thomas asked how much of the property qualified for the assessment. Ritchie stated that she did not know if the Commission usually applied the assessment grants to the whole property or to specific structures. Ulm stated that the assessment should cover the whole property to help the Commission decide what should be preserved. Fahey asked when the Pasquale's business went in. Ritchie stated that staff could look into that question. Fahey summarized the discussion, stating that the windows were the only things that had changed since the 1950s and that she supported finding probable cause. Ulm asked about what the 'expansion of the existing structure' might be that the application referred to. Ritchie replied that previous designers had made inquiries into what was allowed zoning -wise on that property. She stated that the applicant seems to have contemplated an addition in the rear but their work was preliminary. Haley reminded the Commission that future development considerations would not affect their decision to find probable cause The rest of the commissioners concurred. Fahey moved to find probable cause for an assessment at 809 Main. Dickinson seconded. Roll call vote. Motion passed unanimously. DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION Questions for Board and Commission Applications Ritchie asked for commissioners' thoughts on the application questions and process. The commissioners agreed that the applications were thorough and appropriate and that they had no suggestions. Reschedule September 17, 2018 HPC meeting Ritchie alerted the Commission that the next meeting was scheduled for the same day as a rescheduled Council meeting that took precedent.
