He appointed VA as a voting member for the <br /> evening. <br /> SC described the rules for the Zoom meeting. She advised attendees that the meeting was <br /> being recorded and that it might be live streamed by RCN, either on television or on <br /> YouTube. <br /> 16 Eaton Street: JEB asked the project team to join the meeting tonight if they had <br /> revised architectural plans to show the Commission; they did not attend. <br /> Given that three of the six months of the demolition delay have passed, VA said she was <br /> concerned that the project team would sit out the delay instead of negotiating with the RHC. <br /> JEB agreed but said the Commission has no recourse if that is what happens. <br /> VA said that if the house is lost, the RHC can use the fact as ammunition if the Commission <br /> decides to try to extend the demolition delay period. JEB agreed. <br /> 531 Main Street: JEB said that the project team was aware of the meeting tonight but <br /> would not be attending. The project's attorney, Chris Latham, told JEB that they are waiting <br /> for feedback from the CPDC before coming to the RHC again. JEB advised the incoming <br /> chair, SC, to let the team know the date of the January meeting. <br /> Page 1 1 <br />
