Mr. Richardson presented the staff report. In February, 2008, City Council
approved an HC-L Designation on the property at 1315 Calder. The
A Polk @ house was later demolished in December, 2010. However, the
historic designation remains on the property.
James Clark has bought the property and is requesting that the historic
designation be removed. It is the intent of James and Michelle Clark to
build a commercial building on the property that will be used for event
planning and for the hosting of receptions.
Mr. Richardson recommended approval of the request.
Twelve notices were mailed to property owners within 200 feet of the
subject property. No responses in favor or in opposition were returned.
Photos of the subject property were shown.
Chairman Blazek asked for comments.
Kathryn Bachelot addressed the Commission on behalf of the Mr. and Mrs.
Clark.

HC-L (Historic Cultural-Landmark Preservation Designation) at 1315
Calder as requested in File 2127-Z. Commissioner Sigee seconded the
motion. Motion to approve carried 8:0.
2) Historic Preservation Loan Program
Mr. Richardson stated that there was $124,525.47 available.
3) Director=s Report
Commissioner Chodzinski reported that she met with the residents of the
Jersey Farm Village Subdivision about their request to becoming a historic
district. She did advise them against it at this time. The residents want to
clean up the neighborhood and want better representation from the Police
Department, but they were not aware of all the restrictions that go along
with the creation of a historic district. Commissioner Chodzinski
suggested creating a conservation district at this time and possibly in the
future, revisit the historic district request.
