The July 28, 1994 meeting of the Hisoric Preservation Comrrrission was called to order in the Caldwell City Library Cornnunity Room at 7:00 p.m. Bill Gigmy offered a Motion to approve the Minutes of the April meeting and the July 12 meeting. Roy Payne seconded the Motion which passed unanimously. Tom Ensley explained that he had to leave at 8:00 p.m. for another commiEnent and would appreciate being able to move the item 5A) Community Enhancement Project - Czldwell Depot Lighting to the fust item on the agenda. I a do4 Tom stated tlat he had discussed the project *im *}Ifffutil;;"qil*"ffconstruction lighting projects. It would be possible to insall ground-mounted vandalproof lighting, presuming the surface is adequate, for an approximate total of $3500.00 in general conformance with the illustration on Exhibit "A". Soffet lighting under the eaves of the building was considered by the architect but in his opinion would not be appropdate because of the building design and location. The Commission also discussed a landscape buffer in front of the building to soften and disguise the lighting fixtures. The consensus was t}at this would be a worthwhile enhancement project, particularly in view of the sidewalk improvement construction, and a very visible project in terrns of community appreciation. There was discussion over rnakfurg this a two year project, applying half the funds this budgetyeil and the second half of the hmds in October to landscape and illuminate the Depot. Elaine Carpenter thought this was more viable than the photographic display project, because of visibility in the conrmunity. Elaine L,eppert offered a Motion to approve this project. Roy Payne seconded the Motion which passed unanimously. Dennis teminded the Commission that any enhancement project and any expenditure ftom this firnd has to be approved by City Council. Deruris agreed to have this placed on the City C.ouncil agenda for Augusl 15, 1994, or other appropriate date, HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MiNtes ?28p4 - Pl o and suggesed that a Conunission member also be in attendance to present the item to Council. Tom will get together with Dennis to plan this. Bill Gigray discussed his contacts with Bill crooKram conceming a potential photographic display. Bill Crookham had suggested Kim Williams or Paul Smith of Custom l,ab and Dan Kolsky, an expert in black and white photograph enhancement. The C-ommission discussed the possibility of finding businesses and individuals to sponsor such a display, with photographs being sought from the community for inclusion. The next item on the agenda was approval of the FY1994 Grant report by historic consultant, Susan Stacy, on the Arlington Addition. The commission commented on the excellent report content, suggesting only that Liz obtain a copy of the disk and change the font to rnatch the individual official forms. The Commission felt that the consultant had produced a really fine product. carol Burbank offered a Motion to accept the report with minor modifications. Bill Gigray seconded the Motion which passed unanimously. The next item for discussion was a potential grant application for 1995. Dennis stated that in talking with Arur Swanson, at the state Historic Preservation office, it was suggesed that the function of a project is to pubtcize the work that has been carried out over the last several years. Both a suggested walking tour of downtown and a public infomration workshop would serve this goal. The public information workshop would potentially be hosted by an architect lnowledgeable in historic preservation and with an ability to undersland and offer solutions to problems associated with historic or older homes. The Commission expressed doubt t}at a walking tour downtown would be reasonable until the downtown has completed its appearance renovations. The Commission did corsider the public infomration project something that would be welcomed in the community, particularly in view of the strong interest shown by the caldwell Board of Realtors to presentations conceming historic buildings given by Tom Ensley and Susan Stacy. carol Burbank offered a Motion to approve the public infomration workshop. Elaine kppert seconded the Motion which passed unanimously. A draft grant proposal will be submitted to the Commission at its August 25 meeting for approval and forwarding to the State office. Elaine Leppert produced a slide presentation of early photographs of caldwell which might be put into a photographic display.
