100 Leaves
Special Meeting Historic Preservation Committee November 15, 1974
The meeting was called to order at 3:18 p.m. by Vice-Chairman Lary Groen with
members Norm Burns, Florence Glidden, Bob Marsh and Terry End. Also present
was Greg Cole of the Planning Department.
WEST END OWNERS
ASSOCIATION
Members from the Association came to discuss with the HPC
their intention to ask for a historic district designation.
At the meeting were Max Freeman, Bill Kirwin, John Shoemaker,
and Ramona Markalunas. Marsh, also a member, explained
that they had started over a year ago in an effort to
establish the district and they had obtained over half of
the property owners signatures.
Groen asked where the boundaries would be and Marsh thought
they would be the whole area of the original West End. He
thought the boundaries might be from Mill Street to the
alley north of Main Street, 7th and Highway 82 and the
Castle Creek River. After some discussion, it was determined
that the boundaries would be Mill St. to the north alley
of Main, to the river including Hallam Lake, Eighth and
Hwy. 82. Castle Creek was ruled out because they had not
gotten enough support from land owners in that area and they
also discounted the Institute land since the zoning was
so obscure.
Inclusion of Main Street was also discussed with member
Ramona Markalunas advising them not to include it because
of the work load of Council now. She also mentioned that
there would be problems with the criteria since the West
End is primarily residential with different building
criteria from the commercially oriented Main Street.
Freeman suggested getting a group together to canvas the
residents and lodge owners of Main Street.
Members decided to ask that they be put on the agenda of
the next Council meeting as per the suggestion of John
Stanford, who thought they should approach Council first
with their intentions before coming to the HPC for a
resolution in favor of historic designation.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS Groen asked that they wait until the next meeting before
they have the election.
NEXT MEETING DATE
Members decided that they would like to have the next
regular meeting on December 6th, rather than Thanksgiving
week.
TIME CHANGE
Groen also asked if members would like to change the time
of the meetings since it wasn't very convenient for Jerry
Michaels to meet at 3:00 p.m. because of his restaurant.
Motion
Burns moved to change the time of the meetings to 2:00 p.m.
and End seconded. All in favor, motion carried.
Groen asked that Michaels and Frost be notified before the
next meeting of the change in time.
HOUSE AT 7TH & MAIN
Glidden asked about the house that Joe Krabacher had shown
them drawings for and Burns mentioned that he didn't recall
giving approval to use tree stumps to hold up the porch.
It was asked whether they had kept a copy of the plans but
Burns said they should be the same as the plans Clayton has
and if not, then they should investigate the situation.

ahead with it independently.
