Sharlene seconded. Approved 5-0. <br />• Sidewalk Plaques - Virginia reported that she had researched different material options and had <br />some costs. The best option appears to be a 11"x17" marble plaque at 23/each plus the cost of <br />engraving. The group also discussed what should be included on the plaques. <br />a Avon St. Barn - There was a question as to whether this property has actually been demolished <br />and if the Commission was notified. There was then some discussion about whether we have <br />been notified about all the demolitions since recent procedure change. Kathy will inquire with <br />Carol if the change has actually been implemented. <br />• Assessor Record photographs - Roberta volunteered to contact the Assessors office regarding <br />how the Commission would go about obtaining copies of photographs of demolished properties. <br />• Smart Growth Kathy handed out a summary of last meetings discussion where the <br />Commission determined that a good portion of the 60 structures that it reviewed in the proposed <br />40R District could be considered significant. The group looked at the list and create a list of <br />structures that it will focus on. The Commission discussed the importance of adding structures <br />to the Historical and Architectural Inventory and/or creating a Conservation District overlay. <br />Kathy will represent the commission at Monday evening's Selectman / CPDC meeting to <br />explain our view on this Smart Growth concept. <br />• Demolition DelU or Bylaw - Kathy's handout proposed a change to the demolition permit <br />application that would include a back page asking an owner to provide a copy of the Assessors <br />Records the year of construction, if structure is listed on the Historical and Architectural <br />Inventory, National Register, Zoning District designation, reason for demolition any interested <br />parties, purpose of demolition. If this is not complete the Commission will not consider the <br />application complete and will notify owner/applicant of this. Roberta questions if the zoning <br />district designation. This will be discussed further at a future meeting and the procedural <br />changes to the form will be reviewed. <br />• Friends & Family Day - to be held on June 20 from 11- 3. Karen had volunteered to beat the <br />table and was looking for assistance. <br />• Meeting adjourned at 10:00 pm. <br />0 The next meeting is scheduled for May 27, 2008 at 730 pm <br />
