Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />March 16, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />She met with a moving contractor on site and got an estimate for moving the <br />building. The estimate is based on moving it within a two-mile range. It is $75,000 <br />for the moving and an estimated additional $40,000 for the utilities and a <br />foundation. She noted that when grading, drainage, and some rehabilitation is <br />added in the total is likely to be $500,000 (without land costs) and given the size <br />of the structure it would likely need a lot of at least two acres. <br />Lewis has been talking to a number of non-profits and plans to reach out to <br />Habitat for Humanity as well. She has also taken the idea to the Lafayette <br />Downtown Coordinator and Rep. Paul Weissman and they have tried to help <br />brainstorm. <br />Muckle reported she went to the Cultural Council meeting to see what interest <br />there might be in using it as a part of the possible new arts center. She noted <br />they did not seem particularly interested, but did agree to give the idea to the <br />students currently working on suggested plans. <br />Muckle added that the building could be great meeting space if a location could <br />be found for it. <br />Lewis noted that it would be helpful to have the building surveyed. <br />Muckle made a motion that the City pay for a survey. Lewis seconded the <br />motion. All in favor. Muth will arrange for the site to be surveyed. <br />Whiteman asked what if would take to get the rules for the Preservation Fund <br />changed so that funds could be used outside of the Old Town Overlay. <br />Muth noted that as the area was established by the ballot question, it would <br />require a vote in November to change it. <br />Lewis reported that she%xl's continuing work on finding a location for the building, <br />but noted that it has been a lot of work and asked for another member to assist <br />her. Koertje offered to do so. <br />836 & 844 Main Street -stay expired 4/22/08 <br />No report. <br />824 South Place -stay expired 12/21/08 <br />No report. <br />Ms. Downer's Cabins <br />No report. <br />Items from Staff <br />
