B. Open Streets Event-September 24th
Staff Liaison Bodeker asked the Commission for ideas on what they would like to have available at the
table for the Open Streets event on September 24th. The Commissioners suggested the frequently asked
questions page on the website to be used as a handout; a large copy of the year built map; laptop or
tablet with a slideshow of the historical properties; and a suggestion box. Staff Liaison Bodeker said she
would gather what resources she could for the event.
C. Grandview Green Project Presentation
The Commission decided to continue their meeting while waiting for the presenter for the Grandview
Green Project to finish her presentation with the Parks and Recreation Commission.
VII. Correspondence And Petitions: None
VIII. Chair And Member Comments:
Chair Birdman welcomed new student member, Gracia Seeley. Seeley introduced herself and
expressed her interest in being involved with the Heritage Preservation Commission.
Commissioner Kelly asked about neighborhood signage for the Country Club District and if they
were able to have more than two signs. Staff Liaison Bodeker asked Commissioner Kelly to ask
the person requesting the sign information her contact information and she would be happy to
help them through the process. More than two signs would likely require a variance which is an
application through the Planning Commission.
Staff Liaison Bodeker took a picture of the Heritage Preservation Commission for the City’s
website.
The Presentation of the Grandview Green Project took longer than planned at the Park and
Recreation Commission. The Heritage Preservation Commission asked if the presentation could
