Minutes:

The minutes of the April 20, 2009 meeting were read and approved. Motion to accept was made by Jill Ruspi and seconded by Joann Howes.

Preliminary Statement by Chair
Was not read as there were no applications for consideration.

The regular meeting continued with discussions regarding the Rolling Ridge subdivision and the possible application for construction of a fence on Lot 12, owned by Mr. Azeem.  Mr. Azeem has attended the HDC meeting and has received guidance from the Mayor and Council regarding the installation of a fence.  It has become clear that the understanding the HDC and the Mayor and Council had for purview of the significant lots 5, 6 and 12 that it was not properly documented that this purview would be in perpetuity and include the environmental setting.  The Mayor and Council will consider action at their next regular meeting in June.

Both Michele and Joann have agreed to extend their terms. Charlie Hendricks has agreed to be installed in Member Prats position upon Dan’s resignation.  We wish Dan the best of luck on the council

The owners of Lot 2 in the Rolling Ridge subdivision the Drouliskos’s inquired about a historic district work permit application.  Their plan is to extend a sidewalk from the front entrance to the driveway, installing a shed in the rear and installing a patio in the rear.  The Drouliskos’s were advised to combine as many projects as they may be interested in completing over the next 18 months onto one work permit application.  An extension if necessary would be granted.

The HDC will try to coordinate their schedules and make arrangements to meet for a work session in June.

ADJOURNMENT:  A motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Member Ruspi, seconded by Member Howes.  The motion was approved.  The meeting was adjourned at 8:15pm.

Respectfully Submitted by

Sheree Wenger
