Historic Preservation Board - Regular Meeting

Are you ready to go? Yes. Call the meeting to order. Yes. Okay, let's pledge allegiance.

Okay, let's have a roll call. I can start and jog around. There. Angelica Lang? Erica Hubbs? Can you guys do roll call?

Can you hear us? Yeah, let a woman in those here.

Thank you. So do we need to swear in our, we need to swear you in if you're going to speak? So if you could stand up and come to the center, and they'll swear you in.

Okay, so let's open the floor to the... the topics at hand and of which they're our first topic.

Does anybody have any questions? No? Julio, do you have any questions, no?

Open to public comment or if anybody's listening online, they can make a comment. So there's nobody here except for our applicants. So if anybody on the board has any questions and they'd like to present them at this time.

Hey, I'm sorry. I looked at the renderings for this project, and the elevations appeared to show that on the front of the property, the windows and doors were all remaining the same number in the same position that they currently are. Is this correct? From the applicant? Staff, could you pull it up? Is there an opportunity to do that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we do. Okay. Excellent.

Excellent. I mean, this shows the same number of windows and doors in the same position. And this proposed, these elevations show, you know, the mountains and, you know, windows looking segmented and not, you know, huge and modern. So that's, I mean, that looks great.

Are there any other significant ones there that you're aware of? Marcus?

Would you mind looking at the top down, please, for a second? The top-down, the proposed top-down, just to get an idea of where that deleted thing is.

No, like from the top, what it looks like from the street. I'm curious about how far forward the, trying to imagine, there you go, just a little bit down here.

Yeah. And, you know, well, anyways, just a thought. I mean, it looks like, you know, some of those things that are being removed are, you know, they're behind the gates and all that. I don't know. I don't have an issue with it. Julio's the architect here.

Are you asking what color the exterior of the house is going to be?

Should we move to approve? I mean, I would make a motion to approve this. I second.

Excellent. Congratulations. You're approved.

You can say you can leave, whatever you would like. Thank you. You're welcome. Enjoy.

Yeah, one thing is that's very subjective because that's how we got here in the first place. I understand. Someone said that something was a color, and my position is that it was initially brown. When it's mildewed, it looks very dark, and then someone goes, hey, it's charcoal. Let's approve charcoal. And that is a more modern and different look than the house had.

I have a question. Do we have open seats right now, or are we full with board members? Because I know we're talking about numbers, but when I count, we don't have the full number.

I guess I have a couple of questions. One is how many vacant seats, how many of us really are there? And then the next question is, the longevity of each person's seat, like when does our term expire? Because I'm not sure if anybody exactly knows exactly when they started versus when their term is finished.

There were two. Like how many of us are in total, and do we have open seats? So that's going to make it difficult for us to have the number that we're stating, you know, the 50% and all. If we have open seats, you kind of need all of us here then who is filling the seats. And then the second one, because we're saying terms will expire, And therefore, they either go to alternate, or my question would be, when do our terms expire?

I know it's two years, but I have no recollection of exactly where I am in my terms. I don't know if the rest of you know when your terms?

I've been on the board for over 10 years.

And would it be the commissioner who appointed you that would re-

So if she's on that list and she wants to correct it, for lack of a better term, what is it?

Right. So it was like self-selected, not continuing in a way.

OK. So if we have these open seats, is this something that's mentioned to the commissioners? Because I know oftentimes they are the ones that propose or designate. What happens now? Are they made aware that these open seats are there so that they can propose people? Yes.

Does anybody else have any other comments or questions? No? No? So I think we're wrapped up that topic.

Anybody else have any comments or questions or moving on to the next topic? This is something that is a discussion. It's nothing for us to vote on, or is it?

No, I think it's fine. I think we need her.

Right. I would say it makes sense. to have the new members as the alternates because they have least exposure to what's going on. And the people who have been here longer may have more ideas on how things work. And so I guess you could say you get your training wheels off in a way. But I think it's also something that's very intuitive. If needed, jump on.

Perfect. Thanks. So next on the agenda is approval of the meetings. So I move to vote that we approve the meetings from March 30th. Second. Second. Third? All in favor. A favor? OK. All in favor. Great. So it's a unanimous vote? Mm-hmm. OK. Our next meeting is Monday, July 27. And that's all the business that we have at hand. Anything else that's missing or any other topics anybody wanted to bring up?
