Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 26, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 6 <br />Members asked if it makes sense to include any sites outside of Old Town such <br />as farm buildings, silos, etc. <br />Muth noted that the HPF money must be spent in the designated Old Town area, <br />but added that perhaps the SHF monies could be used for the few buildings <br />outside of the area. She will look into it further. <br />Grant Program <br />Members briefly reviewed the draft grant application. They suggested that the <br />application be changed to require landmarking to receive the grant funds. <br />Subcommittee Reports <br />• Community Outreach <br />Whiteman stated that he had no report. <br />Landmark Plaque Design <br />Muth presented the two plaque designs. Members choose the final <br />plaque. Muth will now get prices for the plaques and bring that information <br />back to the HPC. <br />• Incentives <br />Members agreed this is currently covered in the HPF program. <br />Mine Marker Program <br />Muth reported that she, Koertje, and Whiteman had met to discuss how to <br />proceed with the design assistance from UCD. The current plan would be <br />to have one sign designed that could then be adapted for each additional <br />mine. The first sign would be for the Acme Mine or the Fireside Mine. <br />Muth will bring additional information to a later meeting. <br />Green Build Pamphlet <br />Members liked the pamphlet as presented. Muth will get some additional <br />citations from Lewis before finalizing the material. <br />Why Preserve Pamphlet <br />Members made some suggested changes to the draft as presented. Muth <br />will make those changes before finalizing the pamphlet. <br />Update on Demolition Requests - 1308 Grant Avenue <br />Lewis reported on the review of 1308 Grant Avenue. She noted that the review <br />committee found the site would not likely qualify for landmarking and the permit <br />had been released. <br />Discussion/Comments on Planning Department Referrals <br />None. <br />Updates <br />• 1800 Plaza Drive Hecla Casino Building -stay expires 4/19/09 <br />Lewis reported that she had been in contact with the owner and plans to <br />tour the site and review his plans for the site soon.
