Call to order at 6:30 PM.
Item One - May 2011 and October 2011 Meeting Minutes: Approved by the HRAB
Item Two: Planner Perkins introduced the second agenda item which was a CUP for an AT&T
telecommunication facility CUP for 3392 Back Mountain Road. This item was carried over from
the October 2011 meeting due to the lack of a quorum. The HRAB reviewed the October
minutes where the item was initially discussed and recommended that the CUP application
include the following: (1) a tree preservation area should be identified on the site plan to help
screen the proposed tower and compound; and (2) the HRAB suggested that the applicant
contribute to the Frederick County Historic Property Designation Program (Plaque Program).
This is a voluntary program that allows Frederick County to award numbered plaques to
formally acknowledge structures that have an architectural and historical significance.
Item Three: Planner Perkins provided an overview of the attachments which consisted of the
HRAB Bylaws, a guide for the conduct of meetings, and formulating good recommendations. The
group discussed the bylaws and suggested that the Section 2.4 that states that the HRAB shall
have annual training sessions be modified to state that the HRAB may have annual training
sessions. The HRAB also discussed changing the meeting time from 6:30pm to 6:00pm. The HRAB
wanted these changes made to the bylaws so they could be adopted at the next scheduled
meeting. The HRAB then discussed the document titled "Guide to Conduct of Meetings" and
stated that they would like to more closely follow the format outlined in this document for future
meetings.
Meeting was adjourned at 8:00p.m.
