City Council Meeting Minutes March 21, 2006 Page 8 of 15 to be eligible. The list of buildings includes five structures already listed on the National Register, five sites previously surveyed and determined to be eligible for the National Register, and one additional site not previously surveyed. Those sites are: 1016 Main Street; 1124 Main Street; 616 Front Street; 1006 Pine Street; Tract 712; 945 Front Street; 740 Front Street; 801 Lee Avenue; 809 Lee Avenue; 1101 South Street and 1004 Griffith Street. The sites found to be eligible are along the rail corridor. This is attributed to the fact Louisville was originally platted and grew and developed around the railroad tracks. Section 106 does not require all of the identified sites be preserved, only that efforts be made to avoid them if possible. The City can request any removed or affected sites be fully documented prior to removal.

The report lists management recommendations for the eleven sites in Louisville, all of which have a management recommendation of "Preserve/Avoid."

CDOT is requesting comments on the APE. Chairperson Lewis stated it was suggested the Historic Preservation Commission categorize the eleven structures in terms of priority of importance. She stressed there is not enough information to prioritize these properties, nor is it appropriate to claim some properties are more important than others. The Commission agrees it is critical to receive timely notification of any plans jeopardizing any of the eleven structures so alternatives can be sought. Mayor Sisk suggested the City take a strong stand on the preservation of the eleven properties. He proposed a letter with a copy of the Historic Preservation Commission memorandum. There was Council consensus. RESOLUTION No. 11, SERIES 2006 - A RESOLUTION REGARDING THE TIMING OF REVIEW OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 2005 UPDATE (continued from 3/7/06) Mayor Sisk requested a Staff presentation. Planning Director Paul Wood reported the City Council previously discussed changing the date for review of the Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in August of 2005.
