1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,400
All right.
>> [clears throat]

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,960
» Well, we have a quorum here, so I'll
call to order

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:13,320
the
Historic Preservation Commission meeting

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:19,080
of July 27th, 2026.
First on the agenda is approval of the

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:22,920
minutes from the June 22nd meeting.
Everyone read them? Do I have any

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,240
motions to approve the minutes?
>> Make motion to approve.

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240
» All right. Second?
>> I'll second.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,680
» All right. Thanks, Shauna. All those in
favor say aye.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,439
» Aye.
>> Aye.

10
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:36,360
» Public Relations and Education
Committee, it did not meet. Is that

11
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:40,000
correct?
I don't even think the chair is here.

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,840
And the District Committee
>> We did not meet.

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:46,400
» Did not meet, but the COA Committee did
to meet.

14
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:51,000
My goal, 800 Cincinnati Street, if you'd
like to introduce the demolition.

15
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:54,760
» Yep. So, St. James Church is here. They
are demolishing or submitting

16
00:00:52,960 --> 00:01:00,000
application to demolish a utility
structure uh on the property. Uh it's

17
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:04,120
kind of a stand-alone uh boiler room
that I don't think has been used since

18
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,880
the '90s or the early 2000s, so the
'90s. Um it's just out uh

19
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:13,840
it's outlived its use. Um and it's
causing now

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,000
um
problems with the pavement around it.

21
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,480
The tunnel that connects to the to the
church back is is kind of sagging in a

22
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:26,400
couple spaces, so we want to demolish
the building, fill in the tunnel,

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:33,200
backfill for the parking lot,
and uh repave um

24
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,480
repave that structure. I'll get to the
overhead map.

25
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:43,320
Uh you can see right there on your
screen. It's indicated there by the red.

26
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:47,600
It's not attached to um
the main school. It kind of sits out

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:52,680
on its own, so this one was pretty
straightforward. They're

28
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:57,840
um essentially asking for approval for
the demolition on site. And then in

29
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:03,400
addition, they are asking uh that we
waive the uh 60-day waiting period. That

30
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:08,200
is not
a parameter that we set. Typically,

31
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:15,080
that's what Board of Works does
for structures that don't pose a safety

32
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:20,000
or health threat to the public. Um but
because um

33
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,280
because this is a utility structure,
um

34
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,760
I
had the conversation with David ahead of

35
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:31,280
the application that that he could ask
for us to waive the that 60 days. Now,

36
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,800
commission could oppose a week, they
could oppose 2 weeks, they could oppose

37
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:38,440
30 days, they can waive it. It's kind of
you you're not held by the Board of

38
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:43,280
Works standards. Board of Works just
sets a standard that if it's not um

39
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:47,920
if it's not a threat to public safety,
then they then they uphold the 60 days.

40
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:53,160
But typically, those are on structures
that have some that we might be able to

41
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:57,320
move the house or remove um
details from inside the house, kind of

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,160
like what we did up at the um
the house that the Catholic church owned

43
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:05,480
up on South Street.
So.

44
00:03:03,239 --> 00:03:09,160
If there's any questions, this one was a
pretty

45
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,560
pretty straightforward
um

46
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:17,080
there's some pictures here from the
utility

47
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:20,440
or from the structure. Sorry, excuse me.
Any questions?

48
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,440
» This one's kind of something happened in
the ground.

49
00:03:24,362 --> 00:03:31,320
» [clears throat]
>> Uh and this was recommended by the C-Bay

50
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,320
Committee for approval.

51
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,280
» And do you want to explain your
position?

52
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,239
» Uh
as a member of St. James, I'm I guess

53
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:44,680
I'm recusing myself of it. Um
this is a structure that

54
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:48,400
when we did the grant or the old school
historic preservation grant, walked

55
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,800
around the building with
um

56
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:54,720
Division of Historic Preservation
Archaeology, they excluded it from the

57
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,440
grant because they knew that it would at
some point in time need to to be come

58
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:03,007
down and they did not want to put it
under their covenants.

59
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,800
So, um so
>> [clears throat]

60
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,480
» It it does have
you know, a few things that could be

61
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:13,760
salvaged off of it at this time, but it
is a structure that's been in

62
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:16,920
deteriorating condition for a long time.
>> When the COA committee did meet as you

63
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:21,120
said,
um

64
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:26,480
we agreed to uh approve the demolition
and wave uh 60-day period both.

65
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Um with the school schedule coming up,
it made sense to

66
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,520
wave this structure that is not
contributing and it's

67
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:39,160
pretty much out of view. It's it's
barely visible, right? Um

68
00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:42,120
and some of the materials could be
salvaged, right? So,

69
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:46,520
the petitioners would like to say
anything else. They provided some good

70
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:49,960
documentation in our packet.
Got a couple pages worth.

71
00:04:48,919 --> 00:04:54,560
There's any questions from the
commissioner if you guys like to say

72
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,560
anything, it's up to you.

73
00:04:55,440 --> 00:05:02,080
» I think Michael Carver and what we
discussed except with the COA committee.

74
00:04:58,919 --> 00:05:05,160
» Perfect. Are there any
Yeah, right.

75
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:10,720
landscape view.
I think you're seeing the picture of the

76
00:05:08,919 --> 00:05:16,320
structure that's
not aesthetically pleasing.

77
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:19,560
And a safety concern to us.
>> If this structure was attached to the

78
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:23,480
school, this would be a much different
conversation, but because there is a

79
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:26,480
separation from the building,
this one's a

80
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:30,360
» Yeah, and frankly, it's utility is kind
of left its it

81
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,120
in history, right?
>> Yep.

82
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,919
» Um so
>> With the removal of the smoke stack

83
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,760
years ago,
if that's what it indicated what it was,

84
00:05:38,919 --> 00:05:44,400
you know, that's that's what
kind of made it a landmark. With the

85
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,560
removal of that, there is not much
history left.

86
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,600
» Any questions or comments from the
commission?

87
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,080
I have a motion.
>> I'll make a motion.

88
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,400
» All right. Would anyone like to second?
>> I'll second.

89
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,560
I'll second the point.
>> Any seconds? All those in favor say aye.

90
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,720
» Aye.
>> Aye.

91
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,920
» All those opposed?
Motion carries.

92
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:08,440
» Approved with waving the 60 days,
correct?

93
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:11,000
» Yes. And the demolition both.
>> Thank you.

94
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:14,120
» I think it's both actions, right?
>> Demolition and

95
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:17,640
» Clarify that we voted Should we vote
twice on that?

96
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:22,280
» No, you can Essentially, that's a caveat
of the approval. We're approving the

97
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:29,440
demolition and waving any kind of You
could just say any kind of waiting

98
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:29,440
period. So, it It's one and the same.

99
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,640
» Next to staff report.
>> Yep. So, um I'll get you out of here

100
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:43,280
quick. The only real question I have is
a couple times

101
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:47,520
um this meeting time at 7:00 p.m. has
come up

102
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:51,640
as to why we have it this late. Um so,
I'm going to without a full commission,

103
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:55,919
I'll probably send an email ahead of
next month's meeting, but we could

104
00:06:54,360 --> 00:07:01,600
potentially
um move this meeting to 5:30, 6:00 p.m.

105
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:05,680
start, anything that's earlier if that
works for the majority. We can have a

106
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,000
conversation about how many votes it
would do. We don't actually have to vote

107
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,600
on it in um
in the ordinance. It just states that if

108
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,280
we have business, we have to we have to
meet once a month. Doesn't indicate a a

109
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:23,800
day or a time.
Um so, we use this time for um to attend

110
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:26,720
after work. Uh anyone to attend after
work. Um

111
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:31,520
you know, people are still working that
are on this commission, and so um you

112
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:35,600
know, if 5:30 doesn't work, or 3:00
doesn't work, or noon doesn't work, or

113
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,840
whatever. But I think for the purposes
of starting the conversation, we would

114
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,440
probably be looking between 5:30 and
6:00 start time. Just to bring it down a

115
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:46,640
little bit earlier if that works for the
group, but I'll send an email out Uh

116
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,640
ahead of
next month's meeting. Speaking of next

117
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:56,040
month's meeting, if we don't have a CFA,
next month will be the Harn Museum. So,

118
00:07:53,160 --> 00:08:02,560
we'll keep this day and time. However,
if we do have a meeting this meeting in

119
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:06,960
here next month, I'll need to move the
Harn meeting to a different day.

120
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:12,240
So, I'll probably send out a Doodle Poll
or something to see what day and time

121
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,560
would work best for the majority of us.
>> So, right now it's the 24th?

122
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:18,240
» It is the 24th, yeah.
Yep.

123
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,600
» Great.
>> So, that's it.

124
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:25,440
» Awesome.
All right. Is there any comment from the

125
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,440
public?

126
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,880
Do I have a motion to adjourn?
>> I'll motion.

127
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,240
» Second.
>> Second.

128
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:35,200
» Thanks, Julie. All those in favor say
aye.

129
00:08:32,599 --> 00:08:35,200
» Aye.
