Historic Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes December 17, 2018 Page 9 of 18 good option. She suggested making one cabin into a baseball hall of fame. She noted that one of her neighbors had an outhouse they could add to the field, as well. She stated that one of the trees at that location was put in only a couple years ago and she had never seen the flagpole there used. She emphasized that she was excited for the project. Haley thanked Jean Morgan for her work preserving the cabins. Haley reminded the Commission that people in the neighborhood had expressed a desire to keep the cabins in the neighborhood and it made sense to keep the cabins together in the neighborhood, especially since the neighoborhood had worked to preserve them. She thought that since the tree was not old, it could be okay to move it. Ulm stated that the context of the location was the most important thing for the cabins. He thought something else could be placed at the Highway 42/Pine location. Fahey agreed and added that it was neat that you could see the original location from Miner's Field. Chuck Thomas supported option 1. Parris added that option 1 was a better and more responsible use of the City's money. Ulm asked if the City had been able to save any of the fence. Zuccaro replied that the owner was not interested in donating the fence when they asked, but they could ask again. Jean Morgan added that the fence was historic as well. Fahey moved to propose that the location of the Miner's Cabin be at Miner's Field and to move the tree and the flagpole if necessary. She added that they should try to get the fence added. Cyndi Thomas seconded. Voice vote. All in favor. Motion passed unanimously. Historic Preservation Fund Reauthorizations Selvoski reminded the Commission that the renewal was an opportunity to reevaluate the Historic Preservation Fund. She described previous discussions and directives from the Commission from the June 2018 meeting. The goals of tonight's meetings were to: 1. Staff provides more information to the Commission based on June 2018 meeting requests. 2. HPC makes recommendations based on additional information.
