ROLL CALL Present: Joyce Hohenadl, Chairman Ruth Atkins, Vice Chairman Tim Fleming Linda Ridenour Absent: Charlene Cleary Also present: Richard J. MacHott, LEED Green Associate, Senior Planner PUBLIC COMMENTS — NON AGENDIZED ITEMS -1 MINUTE None CONSENT CALENDAR (1) Minutes of the September 18, 2012 Historic Preservation Commission Meeting. Linda Ridenour made a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was seconded by Tim Fleming. Motion was approved 4 -0. BUSINESS ITEMS (2) Preparation of a current inventory of structures and sites within the City of Lake Elsinore a. Joyce Hohenadl said that the 1980 Historic Resources Inventory for Lake Elsinore was conducted by the Riverside County Parks Department as the result of the study being financed under the National Historic Preservation Act. The county received $28,000.00 and asked for another $20,000.00 to complete the survey. The current survey of about 140 parcels in Idyllwild cost around $25,000. Page 2 of 3 Chairman Hohenadl asked Keith Herron, Resource Bureau Chief and Historic Preservation F1 Officer if there were funds available for a current survey. Mr. Herron stated there were no federal funds for surveys, but there were state funds available. However, to apply for state funds a city has to be a Certified Local Government, that is, have a local preservation ordinance that meets state criteria. Then the city can apply for competitive survey grants. If grant funds are not used then the City of Lake Elsinore would have to use its own funds for an updated survey. Chairman Hohenadl passed out copies of the Proposed Historic and Scenic Preservation Ordinance dated June 1990 for the City of Lake Elsinore that was never adopted. Richard MacHott researched if it was possible that this ordinance had been adopted, but he could not find any record. b. It was suggested by Ruth Atkins and Tim Fleming that we could use the proposed survey and contact cities that have current Historic Preservation Ordinances. We could compare the new ordinances with the old proposed ordinance. It was further suggested that it would be more important to contact cities who are Certified Local Governments for applying for this status. c. Tim Fleming brought a copy of the City of Lake Elsinore General Plan Background reports, January 2006 by Mooney, Jones and Stokes to share with the committee members. He said that there were 16 districts and five other districts in the sphere of influence. Planning District Maps were given to the members. Richard MacHott gave the members an Area Plan for the City of Lake Elsinore Redevelopment Agency, which shows the Historic Downtown Elsinore Overlay District Boundary. d. Linda Ridenour passed out the information on researching a historic property for the National Register by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. (3) The identification and prioritization of structures and sites It was suggested by all members at the meeting that the two prior Historic Resource Surveys could be used to update the buildings and houses in Lake Elsinore. This would include updating the Historic Structures and Sites Inventoried in the 1990 that lists structures no longer existing since the 1981 -1982 survey. (4) The creation of a City of Lake Elsinore reeister/list of designated historical structures or sites. Members were assigned cities to research their criterion for establishing Certified Local Governments and cities with just Preservation Ordinances. This is necessary in order to have such an ordinance for the city and to apply for grants to help in financing a current survey for a list of designated historical structures or sites. If grants are not available then a recommendation for funds by the city council will be made to conduct a current survey. Richard MacHott said he will e-mail information on the above subjects to members so they can F1read and report back their recommendations.
