Council Chambers of City Hall.
Present: Ray Zaworski, Dick Hauer, Marlene Workman, Duane Hubbs and Jeff
Johnson
Not Present: Maureen Lodge
Others: Ann Pung - Terwedo
1. Allen Zepper, Stillwater Building Official, met with the Heritage
Preservation Commission to discuss the Building Code for building
conservation.
The Commission discussed the implications on the buildings in Downtown
Stillwater. It was agreed that this Code is a useful tool for building
owners doing rehabilitation /restoration work on their buildings.
Recommendation: The Heritage Preservation Commission recommends to the
City Council that the Building Code for building conservation be appended
to the Uniform Building Code for buildings over fifty years old.
2. The Commission discussed work items for 1990. The following are items the
Committee discussed.
A) Preliminary study of historic contexts in residential neighborhoods.
B) A Historic Preservation Plan for the whole City of Stillwater. This
would define historic contexts in the City and recommend further
historic surveys.
C) A feasibility study of the prison site on types of economical uses
of the site and possible adaptive reuse projects.
D) Local designation of certain churches and historic buildings around
Downtown Stillwater (i.e. Carnegie Public Library, Water
Department).
3. The Commission felt it was important to get preservation information out
to the business owners in Downtown Stillwater. Ann Terwedo was directed to
collect such information and present it at the next regular meeting. Ideas
of communities to contact are Galena, Hastings, Red Wing, and Faribault.
4. The Commission did not recommend a new member to the City Council.
