Also, anyone int the audience has the chance to come before the board to make their case, but they need to state facts that are supportive or conflicting with the Ms. Rebert stated for the public not to email the commission concerning an application. They will need to be present at the Historic Preservation Commission to state their case in front of the Commission. The onlyt time that this is allowed in the case of  application.  4    professionals such as, John Wood, who will be sending an official letter. Also, the commission will accept a report from a professional concerning an application. Colleen Knight asked about petitions. A decision cannot be made by the Commission bases on the Petition. But, the commission can receive the petition and review but, there are certain guidelines that the commission has to abide by. Petitions must clearly state the reason why the petition is being submitted and what stance the petition is Kathleen Couch: The instructors at the Quasi-Judicial Workshop in Greenville stated the following: (1) The evidence must be competent (trust worthy or reliable) (2) The evidence needs to be material (related to the standards) (3) The evidence must be Cheri Vaughn asked about the public's opinion and the testimony not pertaining to the three rules as listed above. Also, how does the Commission make the public aware of Colleen Knight recommended that a statement be read at the beginning ofe each meeting stating that any comments has to be competent, needs to be material and substantial to the application. Not personal feelings for or against the application. Rebecca Clark commented; the public that are attending the meeting does not have the access to what the applicant will be requesting from the Commission. They only have access to the Agenda on the City's website. It will be up to the neighbor to go to the office to find out what the applicant is requesting. The Planning Office sends out letters and the property owners are able, to view the agenda on the City's website. Kathleen Couch stated that there are four reasons to allow for an exception: (1) Would create unnecessary hardship would result from the strict application of the ordinance. (2) Hardship results from conditions that are peculiar to the property such as location, size or topography; similar to what was experienced during the hurricane. (3) The hardship did not result from actions taken by the applicant property honor; applicants that come before the Commission have already replaced their wood with Hardy Plank Siding and although we feel badly we willl have to tell them to remove the Hardy Plank. Siding, they have created the hardship themselves. This will be something that the Commission would have to take into consideration. (4) The requested variance is consistence with the spirit, purpose and intent oft the ordinance such that public safety Mark Everett asked question the following question: Concerning the slides the issues before the hearing talks about giving property public notice to the adjacent property owners and ex parte communications and conflict. What was said. As long as we did not have the majority of the board at one location you could discuss the agenda with one and another as long as a decision was not being made. But, this is discouraged and should try not to talk about the upcoming agenda. It was very clear that if there wasa quorum you could not talk about anything dealing with the agenda. It would be considered a public! hearing. The Commission is considered to be like judge and juror  taking, in favor or against the application.  substantial (to be sufficient to support a conclusion).  these rules.  issecured and substantial justice is achieved.  5    and this would be like the jury going outside of the courtroom to discuss the case. Ifany information is given to you outside oft the meeting. That information would have to share at the meeting with all Commissioners and that Commissioner would possibly Rebecca Clark made the comment that the public will sometime come to hert to discuss about their situation. She in turns tells them that they need to speak with Ms. Rebert and that it is very clear int the ordinance. If you are at a social gathering and you are discussing in a crowd that is not considered to be a public meeting. But if more than one are in a corner discussing an applicant then that would be considered as a public Kathleen Couch: state ify you have at financial interest or you personally know the applicant, you need to announce this at the beginning of the hearing and recuse yourself from the vote. Discussion continued concerning the conflict ofi interest that Rebecca Clark commented that all Commissioners need to come to the meetings with an open mind and be: able to make a decision without a predetermination. You will have to consider not only what isi in the applicant's package but also what is presented int the meeting, Ifthe Commission goes against the Design Guidelines, then the Commissioner needs to think why they are going against the Guidelines. Kathleen Couch commented that there is no such thing as precedent with the Commissions cases, which makes it very important to clarify why the Commission is making this exception and that iti is clear that it meets 1 of the 4 standards that was The Definition for undue hardship for the property owner would need to go to the  have to request yourself from the vote.  meeting because you would have a quorum.  concerned where the Commissioner resides.  previously listed above.

Ms. Rebert stated that this type of equipment has to be placed on the rear of the house sO thati it  rear oft the building so that they are not visible to the street.  cannot be: seen from the front of the house.  6    Rebecca Clark comments that times change and the Commission needs to be prepared fort this question in thei future. The Design Guidelines need to be updated to include Kathleen Couch: stated that this is a hypothetical situation and the purpose of the commission is to evaluate a request by an applicant that is possibly incongruous with our Guidelines, therefore the only way to discuss something like this is when there is an applicant that comes before the Commission and all of the information is presented and then the Commission can make a reasonable decision. This is exactly what the workshop discussed. The Commission has to be open minded; until all of the information has been reviewed that has been: submitted by the applicant in regards to the application. The Commission should not have a fixed opinion in advanced and review each application as it comes before the Commission. Also, we have: set Guidelines that have been set forth from the Department of Interior. The Historic Preservation Commission Guidelines are based off of the Department of Interior Rebecca Clark: stated that the Commission has made addition to those guidelines for example the Fencing Guidelines through a committee, Tree Guidelines througha committee.

This is another way to make the public aware of what will need to come before the Historic Commission. Also the City is int the process to updating their website. The Historic Commission's  information will be published on the website.  5. UPDATE DESIGN GUIDELINES  Ms. Rebert would liket to revise the Design Guidelines so that staff could work with property owners concerning certain items such as landscape, sidewalk, driveways, fences, decks and ADA compliant ramps. This would speed up the process not only for the applicant but also for the Commission. The Commission would look at the applicants that are exception to the Guidelines.
