ACTION REPORT
Design Review Board
Special Called Meeting
August 19, 2009
6:00pm
1. Call to order
2. Members in attendance: Kathy Cook, Vic Jones, Vince Pisano, Darryl Jan Porter; Travis Allen,
from the Historic Preservation Committee was also present.
3. Review of draft Historic Preservation Ordinance
a. Comments from Board:
Concerned with Prior Use Recognition—should not be in HP Ordinance.
o A former use may not be appropriate for community today; could support if
appropriate use.
o This is an inappropriate method for a change of zoning—
Will there be public notice? Letters? Signs?
o Creating spot zoning.
o Would this incentive really be appropriate for the Hopewell/Thompson store
due to the extent of the renovations?
o Possibility of transferring density to a more appropriate location?
Ordinance needs more incentives to encourage participation.
o Lower tax rates? Rebates?
Why can’t the Design Review Board conduct the reviews for the Certificate of
Appropriateness?
Why isn’t a provision for undue hardship (for any required renovations) included?
The penalty for destroying historic property is not strong enough.
4. Adjournment
