Prentiss Street/529 S. Gilbert Street District N/A Classification: Historic Landmark (pending) The applicant, JMK Holdings LC, is requesting approval for a demolition, addition, and alteration project at 339 E. Prentiss Street/529 S. Gilbert Street. Listing of this property in the National Register of IIistoric Places is currently in process-; also in process is the designation of this property as an Iowa City IIistoric 12ndmark. The applicant is seeking approval of proposed work including demolition of a one-story garage addition on the north side, construction of a new four-story stair/elevator tower on the north side, and renovation and remodeling of the original four-story building. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.3 Doors T5 foundations 4.8 Masonry 4.12 Site and Landscaping 4.13 Windows 5,0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Additions 5.1 Expansion of Building Nootprint 7.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Demolition 7.1 Demolition of Whole Structures or Significant Features Staff Comments This is a four-story brick factory building, c.1905, located on the northwest corner of S. Gilbert Street and K Prentiss Street. The building is significant for its association with two early 2011' century manufacturing concerns that operated from Iowa City's original railroad and industrial corridor. The buildaig is also significant as- an example of turn -of -die -century factory design. Originally a factory building for the Hawthorn Glove & Novelty Company, it subsequently housed the manufacturing operations of the Shrader Drug Company/1-1owell-Shrader Drug Company from 7912 until the 1950s. At a meeting held on March 1, 2013, the IIistoric Preservation Commission determined that this property meets the requirements for a local landmark and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the designation of 339 F,. Prentiss Street/529 S. Gilbert Street as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. The proposed project includes demolition of a one-story garage addition on the north side of the original building, construction of a new four-story stair/elevator tower on the north side, and extensive renovation and remodeling of the original building, When completed, the building will have three stories of apartments — four small apartments on each floor — and a remodeled bar/restaurant on the lower floor. The project also includes outdoor terraces on the south side of the building, to provide outdoor scaring for the restaurant. Note that the applicant has submitted to the Sate IIistoric Preservation Office an application for Historic Preservation Tax Incentives. To receive the incentives, the project must be reviewed and approved by the SIIPO, with review based on The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Like the State, the guidelines- in the Iowa City Historic Preservation Handbook are based on The Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation. Regarding the guidelines in the Iowa City IIistoric Preservation Handbook for Demolition (7.1), the proposed project appears to be compliant. 'The applicant has stated that the one-story concrete block garage to be demolished is a c1960 addition to the original building. The guidelines include a recommendation for removing non -historic additions, and it may be argued that the garage is note-histotic and not significant. The east facade of the garage, which is brick with tale cap, will be retained in the proposed project. Regarding the guidelines for Additions (5.1), the proposed project appears to be generally compliant. As the guidelines are written for houses, a review based on The Secretary of the Interior's Standards is more applicable. See Chapter 10.0 of the IIandbook. The proposed addition will be a 12' x 36' four-story structure, with a stair and elevator serving the first through thud floors. The entrance will be at sidewalk level on the east side — on South Gilbert. Below grade, the lower floor of this addition will provide space for the restaurant and required building equipment. "Ibe addition will be set back: from the main east facade of the original building; it will be a simple block: form with flat roof; exterior material will be a composite panel system with painted cement board. This design meets the requirement for new work that is compatible with the massing and scale and style of the original building, yet modern and differentiated from original building. 'hhe proposed addition makes tninirnal impact on the original building, preserving the historic form, materials, and integrity of the original building. The proposed project is also compliant with regard to the guidelines for Alterations. Masonry (4.8). The work described in the application is compliant with the guideline recommendations for proper masomy repair. Joints will be prepared by hand, no power tools will he used. The new mortar will match the hardness and color of the original mortar. It is expected that the repaired joints will have the same profile as the existing joints. It is also assumed that the vines on tine building will be removed to allow for this work and to prevent future damage to the masonry, Windows (4.13). The work described in the application is compliant with the guideline recommendations for historic windows. The existing original windows will be repaired. Replacement wood windows arc mentioned, but the locations are not indicated. This must be confirmed. The work also includes new wood storm/screen windows, described as historically appropriate. Doors (4.3). F.xisting doors on the cast and west sides of the building will remain. At the new stair/elevator tower there will be a new storefront assembly at the entrance on the east side. This is appropriate for the entry- to a modern addition. On the south side there will be a new door for the restaurant. This new door will be installed in the existing opening, but the threshold will be lower to provide accessible entry. The door is shown as matching the style of the existing door to be replaced. Site and Landscaping (4.12). While the guidelines do not address terraces and outdoor seating, the proposed landscaping does not affect the integriq, of the historic building and should be considered allowable. The proposed terraces on the sough side of the building are shown with low walls surrounding each level. Materials include concrete paving, and exposed aggregate concrete walls with cast concrete cap. Foundations (4.5). Construction of the proposed terraces on the south side of the building will expose some of the original stone foundation. This appears to he. a minimal alteration and should be considered allowable. Other proposed world includes new plumbing, electrical, fire alarm, and sprinkler systems, also new roofing, and the installation of roof -top condensing units which should not be visible from the street. Staff recommends approval of this application, with conditions as listed. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 339 E. Prentiss Street/529 S. Gilbert Street as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Confirm removal of vines; Provide product information for new storm/screen windows, and any replacement windows-; Provide product information for the new door on the south side at the restaurant entrance; Provide above information for review and approval by Chair and Staff. u 14 71 4 N w e - _ _ `'� • ���- �� '�� � �d i � .

The applicants are seeking approval for masonry repair and replacement, and approval for two new basement windows. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4.5 Foundation 4.8 Masonry 4.13 Windows Staff Comments This Iralianate Style brick house was built in 1874. It is asymmetrical in form and consists of an L-shaped two and one-half story main block, with a one and one-half story rear wing, and a one story addition bclind the rear wing. It features a hipped roof over the central portion with cross gables facing the front and sides, a wrap -around porch, tall windows, bracketed caves, and a projecting square bay in the front. The house is located on the corner of Kirkwood Avenue and Kcolcuk Street, on land that was originally part Of the historic Plum Grove property. Walter Fckel had the house built in 1874 and lived there until 1897 when it was sold to William Clark, The Clarks Lived in the house from 1897 until 1914. The house is known as the historic Clink House. In November 2007, the IIistoric Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for work that included replacement of the existing stone foundation walls, replacement of the existing basement windows, construction of window wells to accommodate the new basement windows, and construction of retaining walls on the south side of the house to accommodate a new walk -out basement door. 'Ihe approved project proceeded, although the conditions of the COA were violated and the work was never properly completed. The property owner ran out of funds, defaulted on his mortgage, and the house has been vacant for the last few years. Fortunately, there are new owners now and they are proposing work that will correct the damage this house has suffered. The currently proposed masomy repair and replacement includes the installation of stone veneer over the new concrete block foundation walls. The stone will be from Anamosa, and will be rough cut and laid in regular courses. The proposed masonry wort: also includes repair. of the existing exterior brick walls. This will include replacing damaged and missing bricks, and repairing mortar joints. `Tuck pointing' will be done only where the joints are missing or have failed; new mortar will be color matched to the existing mortar. The guidelines for Foundations (4.5) recommend the use of materials that appear similar to the original materials in size, color, texture, composition, and joint profile. In this case, photographs of the original foundation provide useful information, and the rough cut Anamosa stone appears to be a good match. Due to the extent and importance of this work, the applicant has agreed to provide a mock-up of the veneer installation for review and approval by the Chair and Staff. The guidelines for Foundations also recommend that new window wells match the appearance of the foundation. The new window wells here are concrete block. At minimum, it is expected that the proposed work will include the application of stone veneer on the foundation walls for the full depth of each window, and that the top of each window well will he capped with stone.

The currently proposed work also includes two new basement windows. These windows will be installed on the north side, which is the front side of the house. To match all of the other new basement windows, these will be. Jeld-Well wood double -hung windows. In Lhis particular location, the original shallow brick arches are still intact and can be restored. Staff has advised the applicants to size the new windows to fit with Lhe width of the brick arches. The guidelines for Windows (4.13) recommend that new replacement windows match the type, size, sash width, trim, use of divided lites, and overall appearance of the original historic windows. Staff recommends approval of this application, with conditions as listed Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 829 Kirkwood Avenue, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Provide mock-up of stoncveneer at foundation; Confirm proposed use of stone veneer at window wells; Confirm appropriate repair methods for historic masonry; Confirm the size of the two new basement windows and their placement relative to the existing brick arches; Provide above information for review and approval by Chair and Staff.

Clinton Street District NA Classification: Historic Landmark April 5, 2013 The applicant, the Congregational United Church of Iowa City, is requesting approval for proposed door repair and replacement at 30 N. Clinton Street, an Iowa City Local Landmark and National Register property. Applicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Presen ation Guidelines for Alterations 4.3 Doors 4.14 Wood Staff Comments The Congregational Church was listed on the National Register in 1973 under Criterion C, (see note below), and is recognized as a well preserved example of the Late Victorian Gothic Revival Style of architecture as found in religious buildings after the Civil War. Its important exterior elements — pointed arched windows, an Imposing corner spire, and decorative millwork — qualified the church for listing. The church was designed by architect Gurdon P. Randall of Chicago. Construction began in 1868 and the church was completed in 1869, The applicant is proposing to replace the main entry doors on the west elevation; replace a service door, also on the west side; repair the wood trim on the doors at the north side of the steeple; and install an auto operator on the main door on the north elevation. The existing doors at the main entry on the west elevation are not original to the building and do not match the style of the original doors. The proposed replacement doors will be closer in style to the original, with a similar panel design. These will be wood doors. Unlike the original doors, the panels of the replacement doors will be glass instead of wood. The service door on the west side provides entry into the south addition, and may be original to this portion of the building. It is a hollow metal door with a narrow, full -height glass lite. This door is rusting and in need of replacement. The proposed replacement will be a similar hollow metal door. As an alternate, the applicant is also proposing a panel style hollow metal door. The pair doors on the north side of the steeple appear to be original wood panel doors. The applicant is proposing to repair the wood trim at these doors. 'I lie north entry door is a hollow metal door with sidcGtcs and a glass transom. This assembly is not original to the building. The applicant is proposing to install an auto operator on this door, presumably for handicap accessibility. There is an existing push pad actuator to the side of this door, mounted on the brick wall. 'hhe guidelines for Doors (43) arc written more specifically for residential doors, and recommend repairing historic doors or replacing with new or salvaged doors that am similar in size, material, style, and appearance. The guidelines for Wood (4.14) also recommend repairing rather than replacing historic wood elements. %Xshere the wood is damaged and beyond repair, the guidelines recommend replacing with new wood to match the original. Wood substitutes may be considered, but substituring a material in place of wood that does not retain dic appearance, function, and paintability of the original wood is disallowed. The guidelines are consistent with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards, which state that deteriorated historic features shall be repaired rather than replaced, and where the severity of deterioration requires t replacemenof a distinctive feature., the new feature shall match the old in design, color, texture, and other visual qualities and, where possible, materials. The proposed work appears to meet the reyuiretnetits of the guidelines, and Staff recommends approval, although final product selections still need to be reviewed and approved. Specific concerns include the following: will the main entry doors be. traditional stllc and rail construction, and how will the molding profile compare to the original panel doors; will the west service door be flush or panel style; and at the north door, will there be any change in the appearance of the door or the exterior of the building% For the main entry doors, Staff suggests a true stile and rail construction, with panel molding to match orifpnal. Staff also suggests the use of glass in the upper panels only, with wood for the bottom panels. For the west service door, Staff suggests replicating the style of the existing hollow metal door. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 30 N. Clinton Street, as presented in the application, with the following conditions: Confirm stile and rail construction of new doors at main entry; also confirm profile at panels; • Confirm final design of new service door; • Confirm location of exterior actuator for auto operator at north door; • Provide above information for review and approval by Chair and Staff. Note: Criterion C: Property embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction or represents the work of a master, or possesses high artistic values, or represents a sigmilicant and distinguishable entity whose components lack individual distinction. r �41w k JM.w" I i .. _ Aim- n I , Application for Historic Review Application for alterations to the historic landmarks or properties located in a historic district or conservation district Pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 14-4C.

Staff Rcport April 5, 3013 Historic Review for 513 South Summit Street District Summit Street Historic District Classification: Key Contributing The applicants, Paul and Carrie Nichols, are requesting approval for an alteration project at 513 South Summit Street, a IZey Contributing property in the Summit Street Historic District. The project consists of an alteration to the existing kitchen window at the rear of the house. AApblicable Regulations and Guidelines: 4.0 Iowa City Historic Preservation Guidelines for Alterations 4A3 Windows Staff Comments Renovation is currently underway on this 1883, High Victorian italianate style house on South Summit Street. In January the Commission reviewed a proposal to remove two of the brick chinviCys. In February the Commission reviewed a proposal to renovate the carriage house. This current application proposes alteration of the existing kitchen window at the rear of the house. The work includes the addition of a Fixed transom window shove the existing kitchen window on the west side of the house. The wood trim will match the trim of the second floor window above. The existing kitchen window vvill remain as it is, and the new transom will match the existing window's width and construction. The guidelines for windows recommend preserving historic windows, repairing rather than replacing. If a new window is added, it should he consistent with the window pattern of the historic building. In this case, there are no exterior windows with transoms, although there are both exterior and interior doorways with similar transoms. Interestingly, the existing window is not original, as this was previously a door opening. In Staff's opinion, the proposed wort: is an acceptable alteration. This type of window with transom will be the only one on the house, but it is not completely out of character with the style of the house Furthermore, the window is on the hack of the house, and is not visible from the street. Recommended Motion Move to approve a Certificate of Appropriateness for the project at 513 South Summit Street, as presented in the application.

CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Swaim called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA: Swaim said two Commission members will not be returning for the next term. She thanked Gassman and Downing for their work. Swaim stated that Frank Durham would be the new Commission member for the Summit Street District, and Kate Corcoran would be the new at -large member. CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS: 208 Fairchild Street. Deanna Thomann said she is a part-owner of this property and was available to answer questions. Peterson said this application involves installing new gutters. She said this would not come before the Commission except that there is a section of the existing gutters that is built-in that the owners would like to cover up and use external -type gutters. Peterson said this property is in the North Side District at the very west end. She showed the area in question in the east side of the house, where there is a short section that is sort of fiat between the main roof and an add -on. Peterson said staff feels that eliminating that amount of built-in gutter seems appropriate. She said it is not a significant feature on the house, and it is causing water damage. Deanna Thomann said the built-in gutter is causing significant damage to the ceiling of the room that is right inside the window. She said the gutter has completely failed. Baldridge said this is not normally a visible facade of the house. Michaud said it is pretty routine for the Commission to approve a change on interior gutters, because they are so problematic. HISTORIC. PRESERVAFION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 2 of 7 MOTION: McMahon moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 208 Fairchild Street, as presented in the application, with the condition that the visible features of the existing cornice and eaves are maintained at the section of existing built- in gutter to be covered. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 9-0 (Waaner absent for first vote and Thomann abstaininal. REPORT ON CERTIFICATES ISSUED BY CHAIR AND STAFF: There were none. REVIEW AND APPROVE PLANS FOR NED ASHTON HOUSE — PRESENTATION BY MIKE MORAN: Moran said that he is the Parks and Recreation Director. He said that the City has bought several properties in the Normandy Drive area after the flood and has removed the houses. Moran said that one of the houses that the City purchased is the Ned Ashton House, and he wanted to fill the Commission in on the process of the project. He said the City will not be removing the building because of its historic status. It will be converted for park use and meeting space. Moran said that after the flood, the owner had a buyout offer from the City, and the owner accepted that offer. He said the City purchased the property in 2010. Moran said the building is on the National Register of Historic Places and was owned by Ned Ashton. Moran said that, according to FEMA regulations, the house had to go through an adaptive reuse plan. He stated that the City hired Tom McInerney through an RFP process to do that. Moran said that plan has been submitted and as of February 21" went past the 30-day grace and opinion period. Moran stated that the next phase that the plan is in now consists of hiring McInerney to complete the plans. He said the plan will go before City Council for a public hearing and then the construction process. Moran said he wanted to bring the Commission up to date on what has to be done. Moran said the State Historical Preservation Office (SHPO) has been out to review the plans and has given some suggestions and alternatives. Moran said he previously wrote to the Commission about that and wanted to answer any questions about the plan. Moran showed slides regarding the plan and showed the location of the property. He said the intersection of Manor Drive and Normandy would be used as the entrance to the parking lot. Moran said they are currently going through the process of deciding the best location for this. He said it may slide just a little bit further to the east to tie into the intersection. Moran showed the trees and landscaping that will basically remain intact, as well as a walkway that will be added to. He said that because FEMA money was used to buy the property, concrete or asphalt cannot be used for the parking lot; it has to be a pervious material. Moran showed the basement floor plan and the garage. He said the house has been designed so that if there is serious flooding again, the windows and doors will be opened to allow water to HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 3 of 7 just flow through the house. Moran said that after the water recedes, then a pressure washer will be used to clean everything out. Moran showed the upstairs. He said the preserving integrity of the building to make it still seem like a house is very important to SHPO. Moran showed what will stay the same and the things that will be changed. He said they will be taking out a wall so that there will be room for a speaker to have eye contact with everyone in the room. Moran said they will have to make one of the bathrooms ADA accessible, and they will be bringing up the mechanical equipment in case of flooding. Moran said they have to make one entry ADA accessible and are working on design options for including a ramp into the front door area. Moran showed a timeline for the process. He said the public hearing before City Council will be set for April 19. Moran said they hope to take it out to bid shortly after the public hearing and award the bid in early June at the first City Council meeting. Moran said McInerney feels the project may take more than the three or four months than Moran would like it to take. Moran said he would like to have it done faster, but he hopes it will be completed in time for the Christmas parties. Moran said the capacity of the building will be about 150 total. He said that each floor is designed for about 75 people, and they will have to be careful with the way they limit that for conferences and meetings. Moran showed a broader site plan. He said they plan to move the driveway to Normandy Drive in a safer location than Park Road. Moran said that the driveway on Park Road, however, cannot be removed, because the State wants it maintained as an integrity issue, as it was always there. He said it will be gated and will not be used for a public entrance. Moran said the only opposition to this comes from one neighboring house, whose owners feel the parking lot would impede the view of the river from their house. He said he feels that with the line of trees, they cannot see the river anyway, but he feels there will be pushback from that quarter. Moran said he has talked to other neighbors who love it. He said the neighborhood cannot wait for it to be open, and the neighbors feel it will be a good showcase. Moran referred to the handouts he provided, including a rendition of the ramp that they have come up with. He said they want to explore some possibilities with a landscape architect to see if there is a possibility of building this up with landscaping to have a natural ramp up into the house. Moran said he was not certain FEMA would allow this, because FEMA considers the addition of dirt to be a barrier to the water. Moran referred to a picture showing the landscaping that will take place. He said that Project Green will be an integral part of this. Swaim asked how many lots the project's land will encompass. Moran showed the lots that would be used and the lots that would remain vacant. I IISTORIC PRL'SERVA] ION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 4 of 7 Swaim said one image shows a circular turquoise fixture. Moran responded that it represented a swimming pool that was once in the back yard of an adjacent house that is no longer there. Moran said that Ned Ashton was a well-known structural engineer. He said Ashton designed all the bridges between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City on the Iowa River, as well as the intake flukes on the Hoover Dam. Michaud asked about the windows on the house. Moran replied that all of the windows are intact, so they will not be changed. Swaim commented that this will be a great use for the land and the house. Regarding outside changes to the house and grounds, Peterson said that would involve the parking area and the ramp, but the outside of the building really stays the same. Moran confirmed this. Gassman asked Moran to describe the paving surface. Moran discussed the pervious pavers and how they would have to be dealt with. Gassman asked about possibly landscaping through the middle of the parking area to break it up. Moran said that they have to follow City regulations. He showed where there would be buffering and two islands where there would be landscaping. Miklo stated that this is a local landmark, so any building permits involving the exterior would require Commission or staff review. He said it would be appropriate at this point for the Commission to identify any concerns, and if there are none, to propose a motion of general support for the reuse plan. Moran said a more finalized plan for a ramp could be brought before the Commission for consideration at its April meeting. MOTION: McMahon moved to approve the general plan for the reuse of the Ned Ashton House. Baldridge seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 11-0. Michaud said that when more specific plans are made, the issue of exterior lighting details for the parking lot could be addressed, and perhaps short fencing, if that is necessary, so that the design would be contemporaneous with the house. Moran said that FEMA does not like fencing, so he does not anticipate any fencing requirements. DISCUSS HISTORIC PRESERVATION WORK PLAN FOR 2013: Miklo said that once a year, the Commission identifies one or two priority items to concentrate on. He stated that last year, it was the Melrose Neighborhood Historic District and the Jefferson Street Historic District, one of which was accomplished. Miklo said that the chair and staff have been working closely with the Melrose Avenue Neighborhood Association, and they are not quite ready to go forward. He said the Commission will therefore wait for the Neighborhood Association's lead on that. Miklo said the question is, realizing the Commission has limited staffing, what should be focused on for the following year. HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page 5 of 7 McMahon asked if anything further has been done about education. Miklo said there are some goals for education identified in the executive summary, and there are more details in the plan itself. Michaud said she has received some inquiries about the Manville Heights area, which has already been surveyed but not very well supported for an historic district. She said there have been some smaller rundown houses torn down and very large houses put in. Michaud said there were some height limitations for the lots, based on the other houses. She said numerous topographical changes were made, so that this is suddenly really a bump -up from the 1920s houses. Michaud said that a compromise might be that there be no teardowns unless the house has deteriorated to the point of no return and that the heights of the roofs not just be averaged but maxed out at the other heights on the block. She said that height and square footage of the footprint could be suggestions for new construction not exceeding the largest house on the block. Miklo said the measures Michaud is speaking of are exactly what an historic preservation district would address. He said if there is support amongst the property owners, that would be a district to pursue, but if there is not support, he asked if the Commission wanted to spend its time and energy on it. Miklo confirmed that the Manville Heights Neighborhood has been surveyed, and it has been determined that a portion of it is eligible for the National Register. He stated that discussions between the Commission and the neighborhood at that time were that if the neighborhood wanted to pursue National Register or local designation, the Commission would work with them, but it was up to them to make to initiate designation. Swaim asked if the stipulations discussed by Michaud are possible without a district. Miklo answered that that is exactly what an historic district is supposed to do. He said he could not see another way of doing it without writing a special zoning ordinance for the neighborhood. Miklo said if that is really what the concerns are, an historic district would be the simplest route to address them. Swaim said she believes the Northside is also possibly looking at proposing a conservation district for part of that area. Miklo said that most of the Northside and the Goosetown Neighborhoods have been surveyed, although there might be some gaps. He said that from that survey information, one would probably be able to discern what would qualify for a conservation district. Miklo said the Commission did receive a call from the Northside Neighborhood Association, which expressed an interest in a district. Swaim said she and Miklo will be meeting with them to discuss the process and other details. Swaim said she is confident that Melrose will proceed, beginning this summer or perhaps earlier. She said that leaves Manville Heights and the Northside for consideration. Miklo said the upcoming goal did not have to be decided at the meeting. He said the Executive Summary of the Historic Preservation Plan goes into more detail and has a descriptive map. Miklo said a decision could be made at the next meeting. HIS'I OWC PRESERVATION COMMISSION March 14, 2013 Page G of 7 Swaim added that there has been accomplishment of a lot of the education goals, largely because of Friends of Historic Preservation and its lectures, presentations, and workshops. She said that another goal of the Preservation Plan, streamlining the application process, has also been very helpful. Swaim said that looking at the list shows a lot of gains, but the districts are essential to what the Commission is doing. The consensus of the Commission was to consider this at the Commission's next meeting. ELECTION OF HPC OFFICERS: MOTION: McMahon moved to nominate Swaim to continue as Chair of the Historic Preservation Commission and Litton to continue as Vice Chair of the Historic Preservation Commission. Baker seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 11-0.
