Thursday, May 8, 2014 Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting Minutes 6a MEMORANDUM TO: Heritage Preservation Commission FROM: Ginny Gaynor, Natural Resources Coordinator/HPC Liaison DATE: June 4, 2014 for June 12, 2014 Meeting SUBJECT:HistoricContext Study INTRODUCTION In Fall 2013, Maplewood hired consultant ThomasR. Zahn and Associatesto conduct an Historic Context Study.At the June Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC)meeting, consultants will present their work to date.The stepsfor completing the study areoutlined below. June 12thHPC meeting – The consultants present key points for each context and gather input from commissioners. This discussion isthe time to confirm thatthe contexts are appropriate for Maplewood and that the consultant has identified the key resources for each context. Consultant will incorporate Commissioner comments into the draft Historic Context Study as appropriate. There is no handout for this discussion. Mid to late June – The editing committee – Commissioners Boulay and Rudberg, along with staff member Gaynor – edits the draft Historic Context Study for content, format, and grammar to ensureit will meet the needs of the Commission and the City.The consultant incorporates these edits into a revised draft. July 10thHPC meeting – The Commission reviews the Historic Context Study.At thispoint in the process, anychanges should be minor. A hardcopy of the reportwill be sent out one week prior to the meeting so commissioners have time to review it. The Commission discussion will focus on content. Typos, grammar, and formatting changes can be made on the hardcopyand submitted to staff at the end of the meeting. The consultants arenot planning on attending this meeting, since all major content issues should be addressed at the June meeting. If there are only minor changes, at the July meeting Commissioners may vote to approve the study withchanges. August –Consultant completes the History Context Study. September – Consultant presents Historic Context Study to council, HPC, and to the public. The will is yet to be confirmed. If the commission does not approve the report in July, they can vote on the report at the September HPC meeting. David Jones speaks on topics that are of general interest. Each presentation is selected based on its appeal to a large audience. The presentation will consist of lecture and an easy-to-follow power point slide show. Refreshments will be served.
