II. COUNTRY CLUB DISTRICT I_NFORMATION BROCHURE:
Marilyn Curtis presented the narrative she had prepared for the
information brochure. In it she highlighted the development of the
Country Club District from 1920's rural farmland to a community of
well planned residences worthy of National Register commemoration
today.
David Gepner praised Mrs. Curtis's efforts, stating that the unique
nature of the Country Club District was readily conveyed.
Gary Nyberg agreed with' Mr. Gepner. He went on to state that he
felt the ending lacked some of the energy that was conveyed at the
beginning and wondered if a more -powerful ending could explored.
Mr. Nyberg also pointed out that he felt Mrs. Curtis's work might
better serve as an open letter to the Country Club residents which
would accompany an informational invitation. In this flier, Mr.
Nyberg went onto say, he foresees a shorter, more concise two sided
sheet that would use bold headings and graphics to get the message
across that the integrity of the Country Club District can be
maintained if changes made to the dwellings are compatible with the
architectural styles and intentions of the developers. An
invitation would then be extended to residents interested in making
changes to their homes to contact the Heritage Preservation Board
for, assistance.
The Board agreed with Mr. Nyberg's analysis. After a brief
discussion it was decided that Mrs. Curtis's work would be sent on
to Lois Wilder for editing. Joyce Repya offered to work on
designing the flier. No formal action was taken.
