Page 3 June 15, 1981 <br />Staff Report <br />Mr. Stamper reported that the Commission has hired a new planner to start <br />July 20, Karen Kiemnec, who recently graduated with a Masters Degree in <br />Preservation Planning from the University of Vermont. She will work with <br />Mr. Stamper until his departure at the end of September. <br />7. Old Business <br />Policy on Abandoned Buildings <br />Mr. Oxian asked that the Commission give him their comments on abandoned <br />buildings within the next two weeks. <br />Twyckenham Bridge <br />Mr. Stamper reported that Mr. Richardson, County Engineer, gave him the <br />current estimates on the Twyckenham Bridge. Estimates for the railing <br />(805 Lineal feet) are as follows: <br />1_. a) Concrete railing with open arches $100/lin. ft. <br />b) Concrete railing with enclosed recessed panels $80/lin ft. <br />c) Three rail aluminum railing $61/lin ft. <br />11_. Replacement of the small arches under the deck would require 18 cubic <br />yards at a cost of $3,000/cubic yard for a total of $54,000. <br />• Mr. Oxian moved that since the cost for restoring original features of the <br />bridge is minimal, a letter should be written to the County Commissioners <br />recommending rebuilding the open balastrade. The motion was seconded by <br />Mrs. Sherk and was carried. <br />Mr. Hayes moved that a second letter be sent to the County and City Engineers <br />to recommend that they take better care of the City's bridges, particularly <br />by stopping the use of salt in the winter. The motion was seconded by Mr. <br />Wasielewski and it carried. <br />Plaques for Historic Landmarks <br />Mr. Stamper read the proposed staff policy for selling plaques to histori4 <br />landmark owners. Money earned would be used to buy new ones (See Appendix D). <br />The issue of whether the mayor's name would appear on future plaques will be <br />the option of the buyers. Mr. Oxian moved that the staff policy be adopted <br />with the addition that the owner will have the option of including the mayor's <br />name. Mr. Wasielewski seconded the motion and it passed. <br />8. New Business <br />No Report <br />The meeting was adjourned at 9:30. <br />
