Article 34 – Enlarge Pleasant Street Historic District

  • Begun at 21:55.
  • Mr. Markawa said this fills a void in the otherwise continuous Pleasant Street district. He said it was supported by all the relevant boards as well as the residents and owners and was in fact initiated by the residents. He said he has heard no negative comments.
  • Mr. Trembly asked if there was an owner not heard from. Mr. Markawa said it was an out-of-town owner who had been sent all the notices but did not respond to anything.
  • Mr. Telenar said he liked historic districts in general, but wondered how historic something had to be, pointing out that one of the properties in the proposed enlargement was build in the 1950s. Mr. Markawa said a district is as much to protect the environs of an area as the properties.
  • Mr. Ledwig urged a vote for it.
  • Someone shouted out a motion on the previous question. Debate terminated.
  • BOS recommendation approved unanimously at 22:03.
