The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, Cal Conklin at
4:30 P.M.
A special meeting was called so that Mr. Yeilding could update the
Board on the progress of the Design Guidelines.
Mr. Yeilding informed the Board he would provide a draft of the
Design Guidelines prior to the meeting of May 10, 1990. Once the
Board reviewed the draft he would produce the completed document at
the meeting of June 14, 1990.
A discussion was held regarding not having a master site file on
the buildings outside the National Register District but inside the
Local Historic Commercial District. Mr. Yeilding felt it unusual
that only one building outside the National Register District and
the Residential District is recorded as a significant structure in
Tallahassee or in the City files. He recommended that the Board
have a study done to have a master site file done on the
significant buildings in the Local District. Mr. Mills informed
Mr. Yeilding that the Board had not dealt with or tried calibrate
the significance of any of the buildings. Mr. Mills questioned the
need for another survey since the area is basically protected by a
City Ordinance. Mr. Conklin suggested the Board come up with a
list of the contributing and non - contributing buildings. Mr. Mills
volunteered to gather the information needed.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD MEETING, con't. Page 2
The Board reviewed the Draft of the Design Guidelines. A
discussion was held regarding designing the Goals and Purposes in
such a way that everyone would be able to read and understand them.
The Board discussed one of the main purposes of the Guidelines is
to protect the existing buildings. Mr. Mills stated he wanted the
guidelines to allow as much flexibility and as much encouragement
for new development. The main thing to avoid is the demolition of
existing buildings that have some significance.
The Board discussed the Site section regarding Orientation,
Spacing, Streets, and Parking. The Board wanted this section to
clarify that new development was allowed and encouraged and the
existing buildings and streets are to be maintained throughout the
district.
A discussion was held regarding whether the items in the guidelines
should be mandatory or optional. The consensus of the Board was to
include and discuss all items, give an explanation, and then offer
options.
As there was no further business before the Board, the meeting was
adjourned at 6:00 P.M.
Respectfully Submitted: Penny L. Davis
