He asks how many houses have made it from probable cause to actual landmarking. He wants to look closer to see if there are obstacles going from probable cause to landmarking. Haley says that it sounds like many applicants go through probable cause but they do not have to correct? They can go straight to landmarking. Bauer says probable cause is required to go through first. Haley mentions her reasoning for why she thought probable cause was not a requirement. Zuccaro says the HSA is necessary for the grant but not for the landmark. Haley mentions that you can always landmark and then do the HSA. Dunlap says some architects do not have time on their schedule in order to actually landmark. Haley points out that if they do not do probable cause, they would go straight to landmarking and the process would be much quicker. Zuccaro says he would like to have staff research it more and come back at the next meeting with better direction and insight.
