Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />September 21, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br /> <br />Stewart suggested the development of a handout to address windows and <br />energy efficiency. Stewart also recommended a world wide web link the <br />Commission could include on the HOC website. <br />Tussey then asked if siding would be included for grant funding. <br />Stewart asked if the original siding was underneath the exterior siding. Tussey <br />stated he assumed it was. <br />Muckle discussed her knowledge of siding and stated the process is not as <br />expensive as you would imagine. <br />Update/Discussion/Action – Downtown Design Guidelines and Old Town <br />Overlay Regulations <br />Stewart remarked about the subcommittee meeting which was held on <br />September 2, 2009. Stewarts commented on the following: <br /> <br /> Design Guidelines are well written and similar to other design guidelines <br />found in other communities. <br /> <br /> There was not any discussion about residential design standards – will <br />bring up at next meeting (September 30, 2009). <br /> <br /> To make design standards more effective, the City may need to enact an <br />architectural review board. <br /> <br /> Confusion between standards and guidelines and the process that <br />governs this document. <br /> <br /> Contibuting versus non-contributing. <br />Williams stated he would like HPC to have more of an involvement in the <br />development review process. <br />Tofte stated the issue regarding architectural review and HPC was discussed <br />with Council years ago and the Council did not want to move forward with an <br />architectural review board. Planning Commission has been afforded that task. <br />McCartney expressed how HOC has been a valuable asset as referral agents. <br />Muckle stated she would not want to be charged with reviewing new <br />construction, only when it involves historic structures. <br />The next subcommittee meeting is September 30, 2009 in the City Council <br />chambers. <br />Update/Discussion/Action – HPF Budget <br />McCartney asked the Commission if they had any modifications to the proposed <br />HPF budgetary line items that were included in the packet. <br />The Commission recommended to change the wording on the notes column to <br />read “may” instead of “must” for the 50% residential allocation for incentives. <br />The Commission approved the budget unanimously. <br /> <br /> <br />
