Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />June 8, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />Dunlap commented on extent of the information contained in the historic context reports. <br />Selvoski asked for clarification regarding the intent of property evaluation and also commented <br />that the purpose of surveys is documentation only and has been expressed to property owners. <br />Ritchie reminded commissioners on the importance of limiting interactions between members <br />outside of meetings. Also, any activities that predetermine how the commission might ultimately <br />vote. <br />Klemme clarified that the purpose of the surveys is to add to our documentation of the historic <br />properties located in Louisville. Selvoski commented that they are also a requirement of <br />Louisville's status as a CLG. <br />Dunlap shared the document he created to compile information related to past applications and <br />landmark approvals. He also added that he has been in contact with a local artist and is <br />exploring the potential creation of a coloring book as an outreach tool. <br />Structural Assessment Grant Discussion <br />Klemme provided background: recent grant requests have exceeded the maximum $40,000 <br />preservation grant due to structural/foundation issues. She questioned if there is another way to <br />approach this through an additional grant type specifically related to structural issues. <br />Selvoski provided background on the former grant programs. Former iterations of the grant <br />program included flexible and focused grants. The current program was designed to provide as <br />much flexibility as possible to commission members when evaluating grants. <br />Klemme expressed concern about the ability of the commission to remain consistent. Selvoski <br />commented that this hasn't been done often so we don't have many extraordinary <br />circumstances cases to use as guidance. <br />Dunlap commented on the number of extraordinary circumstances applications and if these <br />projects are actually extraordinary. Haley commented that having more in-depth historic <br />structure assessments for each property could also be identifying the issues. <br />Klemme expressed that she's comfortable with the current grant program but it can be revisited <br />in the future if necessary. <br />Items from Staff: <br />Staff gave an update for future meeting, August 17t": <br />Updates from Commission Members: None <br />Discussion Items for Future Meetings: None <br />Subcommittee Updates <br />Demolition Definition Evaluation <br />Adjourn: <br />3 <br />4 <br />
