Historic Rockville MINUTES December 2, 2004 Committee Present: Lucinda Hall, Chair; Fran Hawkins, Wilma Bell, William Lee, Robert Lee, Anita Summerour, Beryl McWilliams, James Wilburn, Rev. Rodney Davis, and Terry Lachin, Peerless Rockville. City of Rockville staff members present: Judy Christensen and Shelby Spillers, Planners. Chairperson Hall opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. asking for approval of the minutes and any changes to the agenda. Dorothy Prather was added to the list of attendees and Hazel Offutt was removed. The house to be used as a model for appropriate infill size is at 211 Lincoln, not 311. The minutes were approved as corrected. No changes were offered to the agenda. I. Discussion and direction for draft broad community guidelines Planner Judy Christensen said that measurements of the newer houses in Lincoln Park indicate that the house at 211 Lincoln Avenue is 25 feet tall and the house at 215 Spring is 29 feet tall. The Spring Avenue house appears to be far more massive and overpowering to the streetscape. She said staff would look at lot coverage, side setbacks and other limitations and present them at the next meeting. II. Work Session on house histories and significant properties Planner Shelby Spillers took the members through a house by house discussion of Lincoln Avenue as the first and oldest street, and some sites on Douglass. She said the general questions are: when the house was built, who lived there and their occupations or skills, notable facts, any significant events or memories, and if a previous house was on the site. III. Adjourned: The meeting adjourned at 8:30 p.m. The next meeting is on January 6, 2005. Respectfully submitted, |
