accomplished. 4. Historic Districts President Oxian referred to the chronology prepared by Mr. Duvall and asked that because there are so many questions regarding the procedures to setting up a Historic District, Commissioners bring the chronology with them to meetings for reference. Mr. Duvall made the Commission aware that the chronology was not a public information device that explains all the necessary steps to creating a district, but that it was an internal document for a clarification of process. President Oxian asked Commissioners to read the document and make additions and comments.. Commissioner Sporleder asked for clarification on point number 7 (A ballot shall also be provided to each property owner [one ballot per person regardless of the number of parcels owned] according to the procedures established by the Area Plan Commission for changes of zoning.). Mr. Duvall related that it was his understanding that there was one ballot per each property owner, regardless of how many properties they owned. Commissioner Hostetler inquired as to multiple owners of one property. Mr. Duvall replied his interpretation was each one got a ballot. President Oxian interjected this was not correct, and that single property owner got one ballot and multiple property owners also received one ballot. Mr. Duvall inquired as to where that information could be found. Commissioner Sporleder stated they had in the past had husband and wife joint-) ownership of one property and that made two votes for one property. Mr. Duvall stated he knew that situation had occurred in specific situations. President -A*"C Oxian noted if one reads the code enforcement document, one will note there are many occasions where several people have an interest in a single property, and in that situation there is one ballot for all persons with an interest. Mr. Duvall inquired of Legal Counsel DeRose what prevailing law was in this situation. Mrs. DeRose replied she thought it was the land and the structure that got the vote and not the owners. Mr. Duvall recalled that from going through records, he knew of occasions in which more than one owner voted on a single property. Mrs. DeRose indicated ballots should not have been counted in that manner. President Oxian indicated there had been a change in the counting system since that had occurred. Mr. Duvall inquired whether this information was in a resolution. President Oxian indicated the policy was changed when the Commission set up different forms of setting up a historic district, and added this happened just before the River Bend District was created. Commissioner Choitz added this was in part because of the situation in which one owner of multiple properties wanted to vote for every property owned. Mr. Duvall asked for clarification that if a single owner has more than one property, that owner still only gets one vote. Legal Counsel DeRose noted that if the voting procedure had been changed as indicated, it was her opinion then that if a persons owns a piece of property, they should be entitled to a vote, but that if internally the Commission had changed the procedure then that was appropriate. Mr. Duvall noted that the matter needed further investigation. Commissioner Sporleder noted there may also be a need for clarification in regard to rental properties and whether renters get a partial vote. President Oxian commented absentee landlords get one vote no matter how many properties they own, and that renters get no vote. Legal Counsel DeRose observed that the Commissions premise for voting was residency rather than ownership. Commission Sporleder indicated it was both residency and ownership. Mrs. DeRose noted that it used the concept of resident -owner rather than a tenant or an absentee owner. President Oxian noted an absentee owner still has a vote. Mrs. DeRose
