Sepler a6ked Barbara Narseille to present her Draft. Color examples were presented and color examples will be available for packets to be given to applicants. Goldsmith rejoined the body and Yawman stepped down as Chair, with Goldsmith fi~ling the Chair. Discussion about rewording the section on allowable number of colors and application to sidewalls of plaster as well as adding "primary" facade in Section g. Yawman expressed concern over buildings later than Victorian period having to be restricted to paint colors not r.roduced or used during the late nineteenth century and the effect of "sameness' in the District. Discussion from Smith about the Trust' designation. Yawman suggested the text of the National Historic Trust Guidelines be carefully checked to see that the Color Guidelines do not conflict. Sepler explained that the HPC guidelines cannot be more restrictive than the City Council has directed. Sepler and Marseille will work together to address members suggestions and the verbage and clarity for consideration at April 28th meeting. Patricia Warren had brought up earlier a question of the sculpting of the large log at Pope Marine Park. Discussion on the subject ensued at this time, including whether Public Art in the National Historic District should be reviewed by the HPC, and the lack of notification to the Commission when such items are on the agenda of the City Parks Commission. Sepler will draft a letter to the Parks and to the Arts Commission requesting that the HPC be notified of major visual changes in the Historic District so they may be involved in the public process since it affects the District even though it may not be a structure and therefore would be exempt from HPC review. . Sepler announced that extra meetings will be necessary. Next meeting: Tuesday, ~Iarch 31st, 5 p.m. Weekly meetings may be necessary in order to catch up. Respectfully submitted, /~ßr Barbara B. Bogart Secretary I
