HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION MINUTES 8 JANUARY 25, 2017 6. DISCUSS OPPOSITION TO 2525 NORTH MAIN STREET PROJECT The following public comment was received: • Dale Helvig spoke in opposition to the proposed project located at 2525 North Main Street. Assistant City Attorney reviewed the powers and duties of the Commission. Advised that the proposed project is not historical and therefore outside the purview of the Commission. If the Commission desires to adopt a Resolution in opposition to the proposed project, the findings must not refer specifically to the project. Discussion ensued regarding possible findings to be made: • Inappropriate project intensity and massing adjacent to a single-family residential neighborhood; • Project is incompatible with the adjacent historically sensitive Park Santiago neighborhood ; • Project is disproportionate in size to the adjacent historically sensitive Park Santiago neighborhood; • Potential parking and traffic impacts on the area and neighborhood; • Potential negative effects on existing property values; and • The need to protect the livability of established neighborhoods. Staff will review comments and draft a resolution for review and consideration at the next regularly scheduled meeting. WORK STUDY CALENDAR 7.
