Matters for Commission's Information Historic Preservation Task Force Chair Pearce stated that they had a great Historic Preservation Task Force meeting and discussed the Council's direction. She noted that there was a variety of elements that the Council was not generally supportive of, such as establishing a District and the concept of local standards. She noted, however, that the Council was supportive of doing an inclusive surrey and of altering the definition of demolition, and would like more information on the concept of demolition by neglect. She asked Mr. Dolan what she was missing. Mr. Dolan replied that the Council did not support any additional design review requirements or an incentive through the Mills Act Program. Chair Pearce stated that the Task Force will be modifying those to reflect Council direction. She noted that the Task Force may be having only a couple more meetings and should be done by the end of the year. With respect to Council's direction opposing the creation of a District, Commissioner O'Connor inquired if it would be done one by one if someone wanted to change the look of a building on Main Street. Chair Pearce clarified that the commercial corridor has been excluded from this discussion and that this only pertains to residential. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if the Council is supportive of a District for the commercial corridor. Chair Pearce said no. Mr. Dolan stated that it was completely removed from consideration, and the rules stay as they are. Commissioner O'Connor inquired if it would be done one by one then if someone wanted to change or tear down a building. Chair Pearce said yes; the regulations stay as they are for commercial.
