Ms. Tinker, Acting Chairman, called the meeting to order at 9:40 p.m. The roll was called and a quorum
was not declared.
Ms. Macon stated since a quorum was not present, no action could be taken on any of the agenda items
scheduled for today's meeting. Ms. Macon continued she was very concerned regarding the commission's status.
Today's meeting would be the fourth consecutive meeting without a quorum, and most likely, the July meeting would
be cancelled because of scheduled vacations. Ms. Macon went on to say that hopefully, everyone will be at the
August meeting so the zoning applications can move through the process.
ACTION ITEMS:
Approval of Minutes for February 27, March 27.April 24. Mav 29 and June 26. 2003 Minutes: The minutes
will be approved at the next regular meeting of August 28, 2003. No action was taken.
Nominating Committee's Recommendation for Slate of Officers for 2003: The Nominating Committee's
recommendation will be presented to the full commission at the August 28, 2003 regular meeting. No
action was taken.
Items C through H — Six"HC" Zoning Applications: The zoning applications will be approved at the next
regular meeting of August 28, 2003. No action was taken.
After Ms. Macon presented the six zoning applications, a brief discussion ensued regarding the zoning
applications. Ms. Tinker stated she was really excited about the owners wanting the "HC designations.
Questions were posed regarding the property located at 402 Peoples Street. Ms. Macon stated from the
information she received, Mr. Jesus Lelia, was the last contractor on record that did any rehabilitation work
to the building. Ms. Macon added that Mr. Peterson wanted the full "HC"designation for this structure.
During further discussion, it was stated there were two addresses indicated for the building — one on
Peoples Street and one on Schatzel Street and the top of the building was missing. Ms.Tinker stated that if
the owner could not provide documentation as to what was still intact as to the original interior of the
building, she recommended that the Master Review Committee review the application before it was
forwarded to the Planning Commission.

Dr. Moore asked what was Mr. Petterson's motive for wanting to designate the properties and Ms. Macon
answered hopefully he was doing it because of his interest in helping to preserve the city's historical
resources as well as for the prestige of having properties with the designation. Mr. Wahler asked what
restrictions would be imposed if the structures were "-IC" designated and Ms. Tinker answered the owner
could make whatever changes he wanted to the interior of the building, but the Landmark Commission has
review for any changes to the exterior of the building. As currently stated in the "I-IC" ordinance, the
Landmark Commission has the authority to impose a stay up to one hundred twenty(120) days to provide
an opportunity for the commission and owner to find alternatives that would maintain the historical integrity
of the structure. If no alternatives are reached within that time period,the owner can do whatever changes
he initially wanted after stay has expired.
Other Matters:
Ms. Tinker stated that a house located on the southwest corner of King and Laredo will be torn down and
she thinks the house is on the Commission's potential list or possible survey. Ms.Tinker continued she would like to
know the owner of the property.
Ms.Tinker informed commissioners present that the ice cream cone located in the Six Points area has been
moved to a residence on Jackson Place in the Lamar Park area. Ms. Tinker continued that the owner should be
contacted to let them know that the art is on the Landmark Commission's site survey.
Ms. Tinker requested staff to talk with Mr. Petterson about his zoning cases and to see if he would be able
to attend the next meeting. Ms.Tinker suggested that since there would be no meeting for July, maybe the Master
Review Committee could meet at the Peoples Street property to look at the structure before the next meeting. Ms.
Macon stated that it was possible that the group could meet on July 17th; once that date was confirmed with Mr.
Petterson.
There being no further business,the meeting adjourned at 5:15 p.m.
