Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />December 15, 2008 <br />Page 6 of 7 <br />budget, the sign at South Boulder Road and McCaslin Boulevard would be the first to be <br />installed. <br />Muth added that the designs include design elements from Louisville's history; however <br />it should be emphasized that they are not meant to be historic signs, but rather were <br />specifically designed to be contemporary 2008 signs. <br />Muth noted that she could take comments if the HPC had them, but the City Council and <br />staff have already reviewed the signs and there are no plans to alter or redesign the <br />signs at this time. <br />Jean Morgan stated that she only wants sings identifying the town, and does not want <br />anything as extravagant as the proposed signs. She added that the designs don't say <br />"Louisville" to her. <br />John Leary added that if the HPC feels the signs need to be more historic in character, <br />they should say so to the City. <br />Lewis asked for Commission comments. <br />Koertje noted that the signs appear to be outside the jurisdiction of the HPC <br />Whiteman agreed stating that if the City Council wants the input of the HPC he will give <br />it, but unless the City specifically want the HPC involved, then no comments are needed. <br />Morgan asked that when or if the City does gateway signs to the downtown can the HPC <br />please be involved. <br />Lewis noted that given the later hour the remaining agenda should be prioritized. <br />Members agreed to address the Landmark Plaques and the Preservation Program <br />before the end of the meeting. <br />Landmark Plaque Design <br />Muth noted that the original and a new version were included in the meeting packet for <br />review. <br />Whiteman stated that he liked the new version better but thought I may be more <br />expensive. <br />John Leary stated he liked the design and added he would be willing to help pay for the <br />plaque for his house. His main concern was that the content and information on the <br />plaques be correct and that he have a chance to review and give input regarding the <br />plaque for his home. <br />Members had some suggestions on fonts and language. Muth will bring new ones for <br />review in January. <br />
