MAIN STREET REZONING Lary Groen had discussed the effect of the rezoning of Main Street on the Historic Preservation Committee and historic districting with Councilwoman Jenifer Pederson. She felt the proposed multifamily or multifamily-business zoning would create parking and density problems and be conducive to creation of more condominiums. Residential/office was suggested by her as the possible solution. She asked Mr. Groen to present the subject to the committee for discussion and an expression of their thoughts. The committee felt that they were not ready at this time to pursue discussion as they did not have a complete understanding of the proposed zoning of Main Street. Lary Groen suggested that the committee get together with John Stanford to discuss the proposed zoning of Main. A conference will be arranged.

It will cost 6 to 7 thousnad dollars to redo the entrance and will be on next years budget. There will be one rental space available soon. CASTE CREEK B~IDGE ORNAMENTATION Lary Groen had done some research into obtaining estimates on the cost of lighting the Castle Creek Bridge. There had been plans of setting up at least two antique lights at the entrance to the bridge. Groen asked the committee to consider the vandalism factor in accomplishing this so it might be more feasible to consider globe-shaped lights that curve away from the road, He was waiting for reply on an estimate. MEMBER COMMENTS Marsh felt that the committee should do as much as it can soon to get the west end started on an historic district. Burns was in agreement about establishing additional districts because -2- RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS 100 Leaves Regular Meeting Historic Preservation Committee August 23, 1974 Member Comments, Cont'd those buildings bordering on the district can greatly affect the visual effect of buildings in the district and he felt that something should be done to make neighboring buildings conducive.
