Community Preservation Committee Thursday, January 15, 2009 Legion Room 4:00 pm Present: Betsey Weiss, Chair; Marilyn Fenollosa, Vice Chair; Joel Adler, Norman Cohen, Jeanne Krieger, Wendy Manz, Leo McSweeney, Nathalie Rice, Admin. Asst.; Sandy Shaw and Dick Wolk. Mr. David Kanter of the CEC was also present. The meeting was called to order at 4:05 pm. The purpose of the meeting was to take final votes on all thirteen projects which were under consideration for funding by the CPC. 1.Historic Structures Update Ms. Fenollosa reported that she had attended a Capital Expenditures Committee meeting in which the Committee discussed its priorities. She said the Stone Building has long been on their list, and there was also a great deal of interest in the white building on Massachusetts Avenue owned by the Archdiocese. She reported that the CEC said it would look favorably upon its restoration if it came before the CPC at some point in the future. Mr. Wolk asked how the Historical Commission decides upon a structure, and specifically how it judges whether a structure is worth restoring. Ms. Fenollosa responded that the Historic District Commission, (for which she is the representative), has no regulatory authority. It is the Historic Commission which would impose a one year demolition delay, if needed, to assess the structural integrity of a structure. 2.Votes on Projects The Committee took preliminary votes on several projects as noted below: (a) Center Fields Project (9-0) (b) Storm Water Mitigation at the Old Res. (9-0) (c)Pine Meadows (9-0) (d)Archives and Records (9-0) (e)Cary Vault (9-0) (f)Town Offices Building Renovations (7-2) (Ms. Manz and Ms. Fenollosa dissenting) (g)Police Station (6-3) (Ms. Manz, Ms. Fenollosa and Mr. Wolk dissenting) (h)Stone Building (no vote taken) (i)Fire Headquarters (7-2) (Ms. Manz and Ms. Fenollosa dissenting) (j)Greeley Village Roof Replacement (9-0) 1
