jrk 7/29/2004
John Black, Bob
Blinckmann, Chuck Giordano, Tom Jackson, Carl Josephson, John Kessler and Russ
Robinson from the Commission attended.
.
1. Approval of
the minutes of the last meeting
The minutes were
approved with the addition of adding Tom’s comment about adding new members to
the Commission to enhance our ability to complete Survey Cards.
John K. took an action to update the minutes.
2. Review of
action items
John K. has reminded
Dr. Vilcheck about responding to my e-mail concerning the Survey Card letter.
John K. forwarded
Scott Piersol’s response to his e-mail concerning demolition criteria in North
Coventry’s ordinances. John K.
responded to Scott on June 6th. John
K. said he would ask Scott to allow him to talk to the solicitor directly about
the issue.
John B. will talk to
Scott Piersol about his suggestion that Wawa incorporate Mama Lena’s into
their facility (which would require moving it).
3.
Status of developments
There is no news
about Hide A Way Farms. Chuck
suggested that we talk to the new developers to insure that our agreements with
the current developer, Wilkinson, are maintained.
Though the EB
MileMarker implied the Pulte issue was settled, Chuck said it wasn’t.
Among the remaining issues is the approval for disposal of treated sewage
water. Chuck also noted that real
estate activity had slowed down in EB starting in March and this may be slowing
down the Pulte development along with others.
There is no news
about Wawa.
4.
Survey Card status
John K. said he has
partially completed 4 Survey Cards but that includes the old mill on Bondsville
Road that was not included in the Historic Resource Survey.
By e-mail, Katherine Prammer stated that she has at least partially
completed 15; she will give the status at the July meeting.
John B. said he had started on his home and will complete it.
Carl said that he probably can get some research done starting in August.
Tom’s suggestion
that we add new members capable of doing research during work hours was
discussed.
John K. said he will
write the Commission’s yearly status report by the July meeting and he will
come up with a realistic schedule for discussion.
There was some
discussion of the availability of source material beyond deeds.
This discussion was postponed until the July meeting as Katherine is more
knowledgeable in this area.
5.
New business
John K. took an
action to ask John Bryer when he could resume updating the EB website.
John K. said he would not be able to attend the August meeting due to vacation. Everyone took an action to determine their availability in August so that, at the July meeting, we could decide whether to cancel the August meeting. Chuck suggested that we should consider moving the August meeting to the 4th Tuesday in July, the 27th.
