Heritage Preservation Commission Meeting <br /> Elk River City Hall <br /> July 21,2016 <br /> Commissioners Mortensen suggested included The Bank of Elk River, since this is <br /> the first bank in the county and the post office. <br /> Content: <br /> The official name for Handke Pit is Handke Stadium. The brochure should use the <br /> official name for the site,while the description can state this site is commonly known <br /> as "The Pit". <br /> Commissioner Lindberg stated The Sunshine Depot information provided in the <br /> brochures is not accurate and would like the advertisement removed. The description <br /> could include a note in the brochure that the Sunshine Depot is filled with historic <br /> photos of Elk River's history. <br /> Chair Fox and Commissioners Mortensen noted that the two historic placed located <br /> on the National Historic Places Register be featured as either the first or last in the <br /> tour. <br /> Chair Fox questioned the importance of Rivers Edge Commons being included in <br /> the walking tour as this location is only a few years old and not a historic location. <br /> Mr. Carlton suggested this place being identified as the start place and the new town <br /> square. From this point you can see these historic places, such as Sunshine Depot, <br /> the water tower, and Holton block. These three places can then be elaborated on at <br /> this point. <br /> Chair Fox stated,if true, the first woman rectors in the county at Holy Trinity <br /> Church should be included. <br /> Mr. Carlton noted the Ms. Simon will be working to pulling together comments, <br /> branding, and getting the brochure on the City's website. <br /> 6.1 Grant and Construction Plans Update <br /> Mr. Carlton provided a brief summary of progress on the water tower and stated that <br /> no updated drawings had been received at this time. This delay does not impact our <br /> grant process since we will be waiting until next spring to apply. <br /> Mr. Carlton also discussed the recommendation of putting the population under the <br /> Elk River logo on the water tower. This would fall in line with historical depictions <br /> on water towers. <br /> 6.2 Next Meeting <br /> Mr. Carlton stated the Annual Report will be ready for the next meeting. He also <br /> stated that will be about the time for the Historic Fair if anyone is interested in <br /> judging. <br />
