    Presenter: Rebecca Brehmer, Projects/Planning Coordinator, CFM, CZO
    At the December 19th SHPC meeting, a motion was made to bring back the roof and window standards from our UDO, Appendix III Historic District Design Standards, for discussion on text amendments. In the past, it has been brought up to discuss including “terne roofs” and “clad windows” to our Historic District Design Standards.

    Recommended Action: Hold a discussion on what is wanted in these standards, and if ready, make a formal motion to bring back a text amendment for Section 3: Roofs and Section 5: Windows and Doors.

  6. f.SHPC Funding Request Discussion
    Presenter: Rebecca Brehmer, Projects/Planning Coordinator, CFM, CZO
    At the December 19th meeting, a motion was made to bring back an agenda item on what budget options are available. It is important to note that any funding requests need to have specific details outlined. The SHPC will need to determine their specific funding request that would then be reviewed by town staff to verify legal conformity and/or avenues for the funding. This would need to be received soon to be included in the upcoming budget beginning on July 1, 2024.

    Recommended Action: Hold a discussion on funding requests and make a detailed outline to submit to staff.
