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. SCANNED ISO Landmark Commission Minutes June 26,2003 Page 2 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. • ..:`i Williams Faryce C4e-Macon,City Planner Recording Secretary Staff Liaison to Landmark Commission (N:W ORO\UN DMLRR\MINUIESV UNE260JMINSNC) J SUMMARY SHEET 'c LANDMARK COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 26, 2003 .i �z,0 0,4 1.
