Landmark Designation Plaques <br />Ms. Wenger said that the 2014 budget would include funds for landmark designation plaques for <br />the Charles Alden Seltzer house and the Knight-Biddulph house. She asked the Commission for <br />input regarding the design and layout of the plaques. She offered to create a few design options <br />for feedback. The Commission discussed how both homes were not very visible from the public <br />right of way and whether there could be information signs or other means to recognize the <br />properties at the street. <br />Old Town Hall <br />Ms. Wenger said that the City had engaged an architect to review water intrusion and building <br />envelope issues at Old Town Hall. The building assessment will be available soon for the group <br />to review. Once the group understands the work required to preserve the building, a plan can be <br />developed for funding, whether through grants or city funds. A second part of the plan might be <br />to look at possible revenue generating uses for the building which could help defray the cost of <br />maintenance. Mr. Schumann suggested taking a tour of the building as part of the process. <br />NEW BUSINESS <br />2015 Citv Sicentennial <br />Mr. Schumann said conversations have recently begun regarding planning for the 2015 <br />bicentennial. The new Arts Commission is taking the lead on planning, but there has been <br />discussion regarding possible joint meetings between the Commissions. Ms. Wenger said a <br />number of Arts Commission meetings have been identified as joint planning meetings; <br />representatives of the schools, Olmsted Historical Society and Community Council have already <br />been invited. The groups would work together to commonly brand events happening in 2015 as <br />part of the bicentennial celebration. The meetings will be during the regularly scheduled Arts <br />Commission meetings in the months of March, May, September, October and December, which <br />are the third Wednesdays of the month. Other months Landmarks will meet as normal. The <br />group felt positive about being involved in this undertaking. <br />Mr. Neville moved, seconded by Mr. Morse, to support the bicentennial planning efforts <br />and amend the 2014 Landmarks Commission meeting schedule; which was approved 8-0. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />With no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:30 p.m. <br />. ?? <br />David Neville <br />Chair <br />Kimberly Wenger <br />Director of Planning & Development <br />Date: ?//30///?
