January 29, 2007 Page 3 that although they were granted an extension in November, it was not long enough to get done what needs to have done. She stated that we are in a final draft mode which completes the agreement with the Texas Historical Commission, although we have several things to clean up at this point. She stated, when preparing standards for neighborhoods, the standards mean nothing if owners do not recognize or realize what they have. Ms. Pemberton went through the draft with the Commissioners. Lisa Wright asked Ms. Pemberton how much more time she needed to get a good draft completed, and she advised 60 days. Ms. Pemberton said she would like another 30 days to get the draft in better condition and then would like to meet again. Ann Rogers asked if these standards could be extended to areas not in a district, such as stand -alone homes, and Ms. Pemberton stated they could. Ms. Wright said she would request another extension from Josh Lasserre. No action was taken at this time. 6. Receipt of report from the Historic Preservation Officer. The HPO reported that Mr. Faber had been working on the home on 31st, and that the City was keeping an eye on the project to make sure he was continuing to work. She reported that she also advised Mr. Faber's attorney that the City would likely be citing Mr. Faber on his downtown building because of severe roof damage, and she has received reports that Mr. Faber has hired a roofer for that building as well. Finally, Ms. Wright advised the Commission that the work on the Miramar was still advancing, but little had been done in the last several weeks because Mr. Tacuyan was required to obtain an asbestos survey, so this has delayed the start a bit; however, the survey is completed and he should be starting his roof replacement soon. 7. Requested items for future agendas. There were none. 8. The meeting adjourned at 4:45 p.m. APPROVED THIS 14TH DAY OF MARCH, 2007. Arvin Starre , Chairman
