NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:
HPC finds that 211 West Hopkins Avenue is worthy of historic preservation, is the best example
of the Rustic manufactured log cabin style, and recommends Council do everything in their
authority to negotiate with the property owners. HPC recommends that Council pursue an
agreement between the owner and the City to grant the requested 10 year vesting period for the
demolition permit in return for a commitment by the owner of no demolition for three years and
an agreement to provide a six month notice to the City before acting on the demolition permit.
