Zoning and Vacation November 22, 1993 Page 3 76-93 be recommended without a recommendation to the full Council. The motion passed. Council Member Slavinskas noted that this Bill was being sent without recommendation in light of the pending update from Mr. Fozo's meeting with Mr. Murdock. The Committee then reviewed Bill No. 90-93 which is a request from the Historic Preservation Commission. Mr. Oxian stated that he would like the current one (1) year time period to be increased to five (5) years for demolition only for historic structures. Council President Luecke noted that the State Law requires either the majority of the Common Council or the Area Plan Commission to initiate such a Bill. He further noted that the Area Plan Commission has declined to file the Bill on behalf of the Historic Preservation Commission. Accordingly, the question is whether the Bill in question has the support of the Council for the process to begin. Council Member Coleman stated that he believes that the five (5) years may be excessive and that perhaps a two (2) year period should be considered. He cited the Southern Hotel as one of the examples. He also suggested that perhaps Mr. Oxian could work with the Council Attorney on this matter before it is formally brought back. Council Member Slavinskas also requested Mr. Oxian to work with the Council Attorney on this Bill. Council Member Washington stated that a five (5.) year period may be too much of an economic burden on a developer. Mr. Byorni noted that the flood plain ordinance recently passed by the Common Council will be amended with new dates included within it. He noted that the dates are required and have been verified by officials of the State of Indiana. There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at 6: 10 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Council Member Lee Slavinskas Chairperson, Zoning and VAcation Committee attachments
