Per follow up discussion with the City Attorney, members who are not recused because of a fairness conflict are expected to vote,yea or nay. Abstention is not an option. As the abstention in this case did not affect the majority's recommendation, staff has included the vote as it occurred. Future efforts to abstain will be recorded as per Robert's Rules,which staff believes record an abstention as an*'aye" vote. ACTION MINUTES ATTACHMENT HISTORIC PRESEVATION COMMITTEE 3PM, MARCH 19, 2013 A.

HPC13-008, Longridge and Burch New detached garage at 1428 Monroe St Sub-Committee: Cate and Marsha Cate moved (Rosalind 2nd) that the proposed two (2) car garage and requested departures be accepted as proposed. Charlie offered a friendly amendment (agreed to unanimously) that staff be authorized to review final details for the Garage (materials, colors, windows/doors and lighting). Motion as amended approved 6 ayes, 1 recusal. C. HPC13-010, Doc's Restaurant New Addition Sub-Committee: Marsha and Rosalind Submittal was not for formal recommendation at this time. Request was for Pre-Application level comments/feedback on a proposed addition to the former Single Attendants Quarters at Port Hudson Marina. Applicant's representative described what type of efforts could be used to "differentiae" an addition at this location but to make sure it was "compatible". Committee comments/questions ranged and included (summarized, not quoted): " Is the area where the addition is proposed some form of access roadway that needs to be left open? Apparent answer is "no" but applicant will verify. "Stepping the addition back from both the east and west could be one possible way to have a new addition read as different but similar" "Is an addition to the building in any form appropriate?" There is no real "back" to building and the spatial "T" relationship of the structure would be compromised. No addition should be approved" Some thought this approach was unfounded and not supported by the Secretary's guidelines. " The landowner isn't taking care of the overall Pt. Hudson property now"
