Planning Commission 2003

During 2003 the Planning Commission responded to petitions to have properties removed from the Windover Heights Historic District:

  • Planning Commission member Fred Skaer states he has doubts about operation of law under the State Historic Preservation authority given to communities because the Town's ordinance seems to be more of an architectural ordinance rather than historic preservation in that the Town is looking for architecture that is sympathetic to historical time rather than authentic.
  • Planning Commission member George Creed states inequities must be corrected.
  • John Scheib states: "The applicants have presented us more of a case for why a court might strike down the ordinance. Our job is to apply the ordinance until the Town Council changes it or until a court strikes it down."
