Keep up the good work. I ...Hi Joy,<BR/>It's me Mark H. Keep up the good work. I plan on mentioning this tonight but in case I don't have the opportunity tonight...<BR/><BR/>I feel that this Local historic district should focus on preserving and protecting the contributing houses and their architecture. I agree with all the guidelines listed for the house it self. I don't feel that landscaping and detached buildings should be included in the guidelines other than protecting trees and the size and height of detached buildings. I could also see making sure that any landscaping would not cause problems for the house i.e. drainage. For non-contributing houses I would like to see very loose guidelines. A very modern, contemporary house in place of a non-contributing, nondescript house I think would be a good addition and add interest to the area. With that being said I don't know how you allow for it while having guidelines in place that would have stopped the really ugly house on East Lake. For me size and scale is a must for both contributing and noncontributing.<BR/> <BR/>Thanks for all that you are doing.<BR/><BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
