As a resident within the proposed local historic district, I am seriously concerned about the lack of notice. The nomination, according to the ONA newsletter was apparently accepted by the HPC in January. Surely residents within the district proposed could have been notified within the intervening three months. More effort to meaningfully communicate needs to be made if you really want to have democratic input on this important issue.

We regret that you did not receive notice. We used fliers and a door-to-door campaign to notify residents in the proposed district of the intent to make a nomination and to ask for input. Your address was not included in the original nomination made in January. HPC asked us to reconsider our proposed boundaries because of the historic tie some areas had to the proposed streets. We resubmitted the boundaries in March. Between January and March we did try to visit with all residents that would be impacted. There is no perfect system of communicating, but we will continue to make every effort. Thank you for your input.
