page 22 <br />Oxian replied that her earlier motion already carried <br />with it a partial return to this older method. <br />Mr. Eide, Mrs. Dennen, and Mrs. Sporleder voted <br />against the motion. Motion defeated. Mr. Welsheimer <br />abstained. <br />Mrs. Sporleder moved to ask the Council to let the <br />HPC follow the formerly -established procedure to <br />establish a district in the Near Northwest <br />Neighborhood. This involved having the district <br />committee meet with the neighborhood association to <br />establish standards and boundaries. Mr. Herendeen <br />seconded the motion. Mr. Oxian objected that the law <br />in this case excluded reverting to the older method. <br />Essentially, Mrs. Sporleder was making an irrelevant <br />motion. <br />Mr. Welsheimer moved to approve the motion. Mr. <br />Eide, Mrs. Dennen, and Mr. Oxian voted against it.. <br />Motion defeated. <br />Mr. Luecke pointed out that, due to a change in state <br />law, council members were no longer allowed to <br />propose, independently, a rezoning of this type. He <br />would therefore be unable to bring the proposal <br />before them a second time. Next time, it would have <br />to be proposed by a full council vote, or by a 51% <br />vote within the district. According to the City's <br />legal counsel, the HPC could not introduce a district <br />proposal either. Another implication of this change <br />in law was that landmark designation would become a <br />more cumbersome procedure. <br />Mrs. Sporleder said that one reason the hearing had <br />been so complicated was that the whole procedure was <br />entirely new to the HPC. She herself had not seen <br />the ordinance until that evening. <br />Mr. Luecke was advised to make his recommendation to <br />the Council based on his understanding of the HPC's <br />position. Mr. Herendeen said that, since the HPC had <br />voted against proposing alternate boundaries, Mr. <br />Luecke could choose which alternate proposal to make <br />to the Council. Mr. Luecke pointed out that, even <br />with 80% support within the larger district, the HPC <br />would still face the task of administering the <br />district. Mr. Herendeen re-emphasized the need for <br />community support within-a.historic district_. <br />This ended the hearing <br />III. Public Hearing <br />A. Certificates of Appropriateness <br />
