Laine Hyde, President of Historic Vienna, Inc.

Historic Vienna Inc. & President Laine Hyde publicly oppose boundary changes:

"The Board of Directors of Historic Vienna, Inc. have requested that I express to you their great concern over the petition by several individuals to withdraw their properties from the Windover Heights Historic District. The Board feels that removing any property from within the existing boundaries would set a precedent which could invalidate the historic district ordinance and have an adverse impact upon preserving the integrity of the District...We urge the Planning Commission and the Town Council to maintain the integrity of the Windover Heights Historic District and deny the application for withdrawal."
Laine Hyde, President Historic Vienna, Inc.

Questions about Hyde letter:

1. Does Hyde believe the removal of properties in 1991 set a precedent?
2. Does Hyde believe the addition of a property in 1998 set a precedent?
3. Hyde believes any further changes to boundaries would set a precedent different from 1991 and 1998? If so, please explain the new type of precedent referred to.
4. Hyde lobbied for the 1998 boundary change?

"In a letter to town officials, Historic Vienna Inc. president Laine Hyde said allowing the properties to opt out would set a precedent that could invalidate the district."
