MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD WORKSHOP June 12, 2003 5:00 PM CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS CITY HALL, SANFORD, FLORIDA MEMBERS PRESENT: Scott Singeisen Alec Then Maria Shreve Leslie Stevens Stephanie Powers Denny Gibbs Thomas Goodman Steve Myers MEMBERS ABSENT: Barbara Farrell Marveen Kelly Rey Sylvester Chairman, Scott Singeisen, called meeting to order at 5:14 p.m. Ms. Gerli stated that she had spoken with other historic preservation planners and had learned some processes used in other cities that could make the approval process for C of A's easier. She made a suggestion that the board consider establishing a Design Review Team Subcommittee to informally help prospective applicants get through the C of A process and show applicants how to comply with Schedule S . The board discussed this option and decided the formation of a subcommittee would be more customer friendly, more informative to new members of the district or developers looking to build in the district, and the submittals for review by the board would be improved by this process. It was decided that the committee should be comprised of 1 staff member and 2 board members. Ms. Gerli also made a suggestion that the board consider providing administrative interpretations for some issues in the new Schedule that would come up over and over again. When there was a part of the Code that was unclear, the HPB would decide how they were going to interpret it and staff would write the interpretation. This would provide the HPB, the staff and the public with clear direction on the topic. When another application was submitted for the same thing, the administrative interpretation would be applied so that the outcome would be consistent. Perhaps the HPB would give staff the authority to approve these items. This would decrease approval time and increase consistency. Ms. Gerli informed the board that this would apply to applications of the Historic Preservation Board Workshop June 12, 2003 Page 2 Code rather than variances from the code. The HPB decided to try the administrative interpretation idea on a trial basis. Next the board discussed the use of a Consent Agenda. This would combine items that are code compliant, eliminating the need for individual time - consuming review. Items that are in compliance with regulations could be voted on as a group. Any board member opining that an item needed further review could request removal of the item from the consent agenda. Submittals would need to be complete and may result in reduced meeting time. The HPB agreed to use the Consent Agenda. The last item for discussion was changes to the C of A applications. Several samples from other districts were given to board members in their review packets. It was decided that rather than having a lengthy discussion of pros and cons of various applications, the board members would submit comments to Ms. Gerli regarding their opinions to be used in development of a new C of A application for the City. There being no further business, the workshop adjourned at 6:00 p.m. MINUTES HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING June 12, 2003 6:00 PM CITY COMMISSION CHAMBERS CITY HALL, SANFORD, FLORIDA MEMBERS PRESENT: Denny Gibbs Thomas Goodman Steve Myers Stephanie Powers Maria Shreve Scott Singeisen Leslie Stevens Alec Then MEMBERS ABSENT: Barbara Farrell Marveen Kelly Rey Sylvester STAFF PRESENT: Antonia Gerli, Staff Liaison Jo -Ann Johnson, Recording Secretary The meeting was called to order at 6:05 p.m. by Mr. Singeisen.
