OLD BUSINESS Historic Preservation Ordinance Knox related the Historic Preservation Ordinance has once again been delayed. Because Senate Bill 588 was so nebulous, the Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), along with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), are in the process of making interpretations and policies in the Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS). We need to be consistent by law, so we need to make sure we comply with the ORS regarding this bill. Therefore, once DLCD and SHPO have finished, City Attorney Paul Nolte will go over the proposed ordinance for compliance. Street Namin~ Committee -- Lewis reported the committee has met again and will only need to meet a few more times before submitting the list to the City Council. The next meeting will be January 1 lth at 2:00 before the Review Board meets. Golden Spike Marker Lewis stated on December 17th he held an open house for the depot and a ceremony in commemoration of the Golden Spike marker in its move to the corner of 5th and "A" Streets. He also noted Project A has put some history of Ashland, including the depot and old photos provided by Skibby, on JeffNet, and the company is willing to put more on the web. Skibby stated there is a plaque along Siskiyou Boulevard commemorating Prescott, and he felt it should be mentioned in the Cultural Resource Inventory. He added other markers should be listed also and volunteered to photograph the ones he knows about for the next meeting. Ashland Historic Commission Minutes January 3, 1996 Page 2 Ashland Location of Southern Oregon Historical Society Lewis noted he will be meeting with. Councilors Hauck and Thompson, City Administrator Brian Almquist and a representative from SOHS at 4:00 on January 4th regarding the location of the Ashland branch. NEW BUSINESS PA 96-003 Architect Mark Reitinger, together with Mr. and Mrs. John Harbaugh, informally discussed the plans for the subterranean garage located at 212 Vista Street. This planning action was called up for a public heating by Cardinale after reviewing the proposed plans during the December 28, 1995 Review Board meeting. After a lenghthy discussion, it was decided if the applicant made the recommended changes, this planning action could be reviewed at the regular February meeting, and retain its status as a Type I action before the Hearings Board on February 13, 1996. Public Hearing Information Knox briefly went over some of the information in the packet regarding public hearings. Once the Historic Preservation Ordinance is adopted, the Historic Commission will be required to have formal public hearings. Therefore, the Commission should begin following a certain order, with statements made by the Chairperson, explanation sheets for the audience, etc. Lewis said he would suggest adopting the Planning Commission style rather than the City Council style. The Commission agreed. It will be discussed further at the next meeting. ADJOURNMENT It was the unanimous decision of the Commission to adjourn the meeting at 9:50 p.m. Ashland Historic Commission Minutes January 3, 1996 Page 3 ASHLAND HISTORIC COMMISSION Agenda January 3, 1996 CALL TO ORDER: 7:30 p.m. - ASHLAND COMMUNITY CENTER 59 Winburn Way IL APPROVAL OF MINUTES: December 6, 1995 III.
