At the October 12, 1999 Council meeting, this group recommended that <br />the city look into the creation of a Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC). The <br />Council directed staff to investigate the issue. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Staff and the citizens involved are recommending that the city create a HPC for the <br />following reasons: <br />. establishes credibility to preservation efforts, <br />. makes the city eligible for funding sources, <br />. places the city in a proactive position for identifying and preserving our heritage. <br /> <br />Attached to this memo are the following draft ordinance amendments that will be needed <br />to create a HPC in Elk River and specify its duties: <br />. Section 215 - Establishing a Heritage Preservation Commission <br />. Section 908 - Definitions <br />. Section 910 - Establishment of Districts <br />. Section 912 - Permitted, Accessory, and Conditional Uses by District <br /> <br />If the Council agrees with the recommendation to create a HPC, staff will advertise the <br />listed ordinance amendments for public hearing at a future meeting. The group will be at <br />your meeting to discuss this issue further. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\ \elkriver\sys\shrdoc \b&z\stever\camascup.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
