Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />October 20, 2008 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br />Muckle stated her preference for the design based on the false front of the Rex Theatre <br />She stated she liked using the authentic details of a site that is still standing. She asked <br />if a font could be chosen that was also specifically found on a Louisville building. <br />Koertje stated his preference for the miner image as it is readily identifiable with <br />Louisville. He asked how/where additional text could be added about the specific <br />property on which the plaques are to be posted. <br />Lewis agreed that additional factual information about the sites would be helpful. She <br />stated her opinion that both the miner and false front designs speak to Louisville <br />successfully. <br />Muckle asked if a photo of the historic building could be added or etched with the site <br />specific information. <br />Tofte expressed her preference for the false front image. <br />Whiteman agreed with Lewis that the miner and the false front were the most successful. <br />He stated that that the false front design might be a bit large for posting to a house. <br />Clark stated that all of the options could be resized and a different font chosen if the <br />Commission would like. <br />Koertje asked what options there might be for materials for the plaques. <br />Berquist stated that there are a variety of options regarding materials depending on how <br />much the Commission can to spend on the plaques. <br />Lewis stated she would like a solid metal plaque material that also included site specific <br />information without a photo. <br />Muckle stated her preference to see the miner used on the future mine marker signs and <br />use a building on landrarking plaques. <br />After additional discussion, members agreed to move forward with the false front design <br />but to incorporate more specific details from the Rex Theatre facade on the plaque and <br />have space included for additional text about the specific building. <br />Clark and Berquist will submit an updated draft to the HPC for consideration at the <br />November meeting. <br />Subcommittee Reports <br />Old Town Historic District - No report <br />Community Outreach - No report <br />Incentives - Koertje stated he was still gathering information and he will continue to <br />work on this regardless of the results of ballot issue 2A. <br />
