Public Comment STAFF REPORT As noted in the previous meeting, this agenda item was inserted to allow for interested members of the community to share information, ask questions, and express concerns. The typical amount of time allowed per speaker is 3 minutes. Groups who have similar comments may be asked to find a representative to make comments on behalf of that group. Staff feels that this public comment period will be a valuable outreach to the community and help make more voices heard in the process of developing the historic register and the topic of preservation in general. Discussion of Items from January 24, 2019 Meeting Information was provided from a member of the community regarding a previous effort to inventory historic structures within the city. That information will be further discussed by staff with the update to the Historic Inventory Map below. The Commission expressed interest in more information on existing registers and similar listings. Staff has compiled this information and will present findings at the meeting. Update on the Historic Inventory Map The development of the Historic Inventory Map continues as staff adds more information to the database. Last month s presentation by Mr. Hoerning was very helpful in showing some of the information that is available. Staff met separately with Mr. Hoerning who shared the database with information gathered in 2007. Some of this data will be integrated into the database as part of the Historic Inventory Map as details are added. The process by which staff has been approaching this project is to first identify locations and buildings that meet the basic criteria of being built a minimum of 50 years ago. Once all those buildings and locations have been identified and geo-located, data such as owners, parcel numbers, business names, and other details will be added. At this time it is important to note that this is still a draft version of the map. By the March meeting staff anticipates that a 99% complete map will be readied and will be a valuable tool for the Commission and public to begin first steps in the nomination of structures and places to the Historic Register.
