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. Respectfully submitted Ann Pung - Terwedo
