• Mr. Duvall indicated that the HPC did need to make an assessment as to the viability of the historic structures in the present context to better respond when some alteration is requested, citing Mr. Talley's question about moving the structure. Mr Oxi_an indicated that the HPC should await some proposal specifically regarding the Landmark for which the commission to respond. Ms. Hostetler inquired about the residential context created by the existing zoning. Mr. Duvall indicated that it was isolated having no connecting intersection with any other residential street and being accessed through the light industrial area on Frances and the commercially zoned properties on Eddy. Mr. Talley moved that this concern be referred to the Landmarks committee in the case that further discussion is required which cannot be delayed for a commission meeting. Ms. Hostetler seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Mr. Oxian instructed Mr. Duvall to make further inquiries regarding the status of this proposal and the attitudes of other affected property owners. 6. Standards & Maintenance Mr. Duvall stated that the committee has not met and that he was anticipating new committee appointments. Regarding the fence at 1414 East Wayne, Mr. Fozo of the Building Department has enforced the outstanding roofing permit violation and an in-kind COA was issued for such. However, he had not heard from the fencing company. He • presumed that the owner has not instructed them to remove the fence which is in non-compliance. Some discussion ensued in which Ms. DeRose clarified that although the 'commission may seek an injunction this would be a long drawn-out remedy. Furthermore at this time the application has been tabled and not denied. Ms. Hostetler and Fr. Bullene both indicated that this was a very unfortunate situation as an owner acting in good faith had been placed in this position by the contractor's negligence. 6.
