250 Letters to Property Owners

About 75 people came to the meeting, in rainy bad weather, turn-out which means about a third, 30% of property owners, including absentee owners
Citizens who talked – 17 to 20 people which means 12% of the property owners

See below most of these citizens input did not pertain to a Historic District Designation

Negative start with the first speaker, so those who may be in favor were not comfortable to speak up
Despite the negative atmosphere, some talked about their property and several of those are in the “Dispirited Category”
Too much confusion with the Community Development Department and their processes.
Recommendation: We need a flow chart that says “if I am a homeowner and I need to do xxx project , what application/permit do I need with city and what is process ?” And what project does not pertain?
No understanding that HPC is a different track, actually dual track, not an added layer of permits.
Most people who talked wanted a lower application fee. Why not? It is up to the Council.
