November 23, 1981 page 3 6.b. l.a. (continued) It was agreed upon that,for Edgewater, the procedure would continue as is - one vote for each lot. Mr. Crowley asked who is responsible for costs associated with the election. After some discussion, it was decided that the Historic Preservation Commission would pay only for postage to absentee landlords upon receipt of a bill. Mr. Oxian made a motion that the procedure be adopted for Edgewater and used as a model for all future districts and if necessary, the Commission would pay postage for ballots sent to absentee landlords. Mrs. Sporleder seconded; motion carried. b) Re -zoning on Lincolnway East Ms. Kiemnec read the letter to the Commission from Paul Crowley requesting support at the Nov. 17, 1981 Area Plan Commission Meeting for the C-1 zoning of Lincolnway East between Edgewater Place and Monroe/Sample. Discussion en- sued as to whether the Commission should be involved, if we should support the Neighborhood Group because it is one of our historic districts, and which zoning is better for the area, B (as proposed by the Redevelopment Commission) or C-1. Mr. Crowley explained that the Neighborhood wanted C-1 because they had had bad luck with the area as a resi- dential street and they felt a small neighborhood shopping area would tie the Edgewater and the Monroe/Sample neigh- borhoods together. He suggested that Lincolnway East was not conducive to raising a family and rezoning as C-1 would restrict the kinds of commercial enterprises which could develop yet offer the area what it needs. Mr. Hayes made a motion to write a letter to the Redevelopment Commission saying that the Historic Preservation Commission has no ob- jections to C-1 zoning on both sides of Lincolnway East. Joann Sporleder seconded; the motion passed, Mr. Oxian abstained and Mr. Nimtz voted no. c) 740 East Bronson Ms. Kiemnec reported on Mr. Ron Farr at 740 East Bronson Street in the Edgewater Place Historic District. His garage burned down and he built a new one without obtaining either a Certificate of Appropriateness or a Building Permit. Mr. Oxian moved that the Commission write to the Building Department to ask what can be done in a case like this in which p. -property owner constructs a building without applying for a Building Permit. Mrs. Sporleder seconded and the motion passed. Mr. Nimtz abstained. •
