Committee Z port: Zoning and Annexation Committee IT0 Mt COmmOtt Council of the City of griouUj *n : The September 23, 1996 meeting of the Zoning and Annexation Committee was called to order by its Vice Chairperson, Dr. Varner, at 4:02 p.m. in the Council informal meeting room. Persons in attendance included Council Members: Luecke, Kelly, Varner, Coleman, Broden,Washington, and Pfeifer; Kathy Dempsey, John Byorni, John Oxian, Don Porter and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. Dr. Varner noted that the only item on the agenda was to review Substitute Bill No. 90-93 addressing the t e Historic Preservation Commission. Mr.Oxian, the President of the Historic Preservation Commission deferred to the Council Attorney. The Council Attorney indicated that the Bill had been filed on October 25, 1993 and went before the Area Plan Commission at its meeting of May 17, 1994 where it received an unfavorable recommendation. The purpose of the Bill would be to permit the Common Council to extend the time period from one year to three years when the Historic Preservation Commission properly petitions the Council for a continuation in the delay in the issuance of a permit for construction, reconstruction, alteration, demolition, or the moving of a designated historic landmark. She noted that the Council Member who filed the original Bill is no longer with the Council. She also indicated that she had copies of the excerpts of the Area Plan Commission meeting as well as the letter from the Area Plan staff, and had met with the Area Plan staff as well as the Legal Department on this issue. The Council Attorney then noted that she had discussions earlier today with Mr. Oxian and informed him that it was her opinion that the current Ordinance permits the Historic Preservation Commission to re-petition the Council for the same designated historic landmark and that there was not a limitation to the number of times for this. She also indicated that the three-prong test set forth in Section 21-1-17.2 must be met in each instance by the Commission in order for the Council to grant the Commission's request. Based on that information, Mr. Oxian stated that he would request to withdraw the Substitute Bill. The Council Attorney noted that the proper Motion at this evening's Common Council meeting would be to strike Substitute Bill No. 90-93 from the agenda. There being no further business to come before the Committee the meeting was adjourned at 4:10 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Council Member David Varner,Vice Chairperson Zoning and Annexation Committee Attachments •
