4. Chris Cowen was present during hear visitors and voiced his concern regarding a valid replacement
of a Historical Marker #91 on his neighbor’s house. He did not agree that the current house should
qualify for the marker.
5. Katherine Edwards will sent Draft #3 of the Historic Home Tour to the Parks Department for
formatting, it will go to the PR department and once it is complete and sent back to the HPC
Committee for approval we will sent it out for quotes for printing.
The Committee will get together in the future and talk about revising the guidelines for applicants
requesting a new marker or replacing a previous marker. A suggestion was made that members of
the committee would meet the applicant at the location that is requesting the marker and to physically
look at the actual property and meet the owner and get the history before approving the application.
The committee will vote on the application for a Historical Marker for 7 00 Thomas Street at the July
meeting. Lou will contact the owners and let them know the process.
