Historic Preservation Commission <br />Meeting Minutes <br />January 13th, 2020 <br />Page6of9 <br />Klemme stated that she thought the Old Town Overlay served the same purpose as a <br />Historic District, except that the Overlay was a voluntary and incentive -based program. <br />She thought they were otherwise the same thing. <br />Selvoski replied that there could be dramatic changes if the City moved away from a <br />voluntary program, but there could be conversations about those issues in the future. <br />Dunlap asked about addressing design guidelines. <br />Selvoski replied that the Old Town Overlay was going to be in review, which would <br />address design guidelines and change zoning. <br />Klemme asked how that would work with the Planning Commission. <br />Selvoski replied that almost everything on the Planning Commission was based on <br />numbers, whereas Preservation could consider intent.

He suggested that design professionals, builders, <br />and other stakeholders should receive the training alongside everyone else. He also <br />suggested a careful review of HSA requirements, which were currently similar to the <br />Department of the Interior requirements, and therefore might require recalibration. He <br />also asked for feedback on the quality of completed HSAs in helping the Commission to <br />
