Staff: Ron Lillev
Agenda items:
1. Proposed procedural changes for developments affecting historic resources.
Not everyone had a copy of the documents from the August meeting concerning
proposed procedural changes for developments affecting historic resources. Staff
agreed to provide all members with those documents.
There was some discussion of the draft proposal to require HRAB review of
proposed developments which affect specified historic resources. Among the
concerns were whether to notify landowners ahead of time if their property was
being considered for inclusion on a list of historically significant sites. It was
agreed that the 11/4 Planning Commission discussion of historic resource matters
would be a good chance to get some Ping. Cmsn. input on such notification.
y There was also some concern about not having the expertise for evaluating
proposed historic area overlay districts as well as proposed developments affecting
historic resources. It was noted that Maral Kalbian was not a member of the
HRAB and, with completion of her Rural Landmark Survey contract, could not
be expected to assist the HRAB without remuneration. Staff was asked to look
into options for securing technical expertise for the HRAB.
Ray Ewing and Mary Jane Light indicated their intentions of attending the Nov.
4th Ping. Cmsn. discussion.
2. Plaque Program design contest
Staff presented his finding that the administration at James Wood High School
enthusiastically embraced the idea of having students participate in the proposed
design contest.
Members discussed and agreed to think more about the parameters of the desired
plaque to impose on the contest. It was also agreed that the HRAB should
reserve the riLht not to use any of the entries. More discussion would be required
in November regarding specifics of the contest, including plaque dimensions,
wording, judging and awards, and contest timeframe. There was C,
consensus that the contest should be limited to the High School students and that
it should get underway with the second semester.
Staff was asked to research expected costs and whether or not certain shapes were
more feasible to produce.
3. Other
a. It was agreed that a list of the HRAB members, with addresses and phone
numbers, would be helpful for all members to have.
b. Staff was asked to check with the EDC about whether a list of historic sites for
tourism promotion was being developed.
c. Staff was asked to find out when Maral Kalbian would be presenting her Rural
Landmarks Survey slide presentation to the Board of Supervisors.
