New Business • a. Consider ordinance—Limited Commercial Ventures at Historic Properties Assistant Planner Wippler provided the Commission with a portion of the Cottage Grove City Code that limits the types of commercial businesses that can be established in their historic residences. The Cottage Grove ordinance requires that a Conditional Use Permit be approved for certain commercial establishments. If the Commission decides they want to pursue such an ordinance,it could be draft any way that the Commission sees fit. Staff does believe that a Conditional Use Permit would be the right mechanism to review such a proposed use. The Commission agreed that a CUP is appropriate but would like to have the HPC review the CUP and they would provide the Planning Commission with a recommendation on the proposed use. 1 • The main reason you typically want to have an ordinance like this is it provides more options for these types of buildings that were built prior to the zoning ordinance being in place. This is a tool to try to keep some of our historical properties viable.The Commission directed staff to prepare a draft ordinance and to bring it back to the Commission for review in early 2014. 6. Continued Business a. Farmington Architectural Styles&Historic Building Types Training Consultant Vogel held a discussion regarding concrete and its history with building construction. By 1900 concrete became a common building material because it would last for a very long time and you could shape it into many formations. The history of picture windows was also discussed. b. Vermillion River Discussion Staff provided the Commission with copies of the Lake Marion Greenway Master Plan that was developed and approved by Dakota County. The plan is currently at the Metropolitan Council for their review and approval. This Master Plan does include the South Creek which connects to the Vermillion River. The Greenway will largely consist of habitat restoration as well as a trail system that will follow the river. The plan itself does not include a comprehensive analysis on historic resources. The plan was given to the Commission as information only. The Vermillion River is part of the historic fabric of the town and there may be an opportunity to work with the Vermillion River Watershed to do some interpretation for the river. Consultant Vogel stated that it would be interesting to know if the watershed has any plans for educational programs or facilities for this community. a. Heritage Resource Interpretation Plan Update Consultant Vogel stated that his group will write the plan and at the next regular meeting in 2014 the Commission will begin working through the draft. d. Farmers'Market Recap Consultant Vogel believes being at the Farmers'Market is an important outreach program that should continue. Consultant Vogel will work with staff to get on the schedule for 2014. This should be put on the goals for 2014. 7. Reports a. 2013 Annual Report—SHPO The 2013 Annual Report was distributed to the Commission for review and comment. The report is part of the requirements to keep our certification as a Certified Local Government. 8. Miscellaneous a. December meeting The Commission decided to cancel the December regular meeting due to its proximity to the holidays. It was also discussed whether to move the first meeting of the year to January instead of February. This would eliminate the need to cancel a meeting in December as the last meeting for the year would be November. 2 Motion by McMillen,second by Haley to continue to meet every other month but to have the first meeting of the year,beginning in 2014,be in January. APIF,Motion passed. 9. Commission Roundtable a. Commissioner McMillen inquired if the vacant Commission seat is still being advertised. Assistant Planner Wippler indicated that it is. b. Commissioner Haley mentioned that this past year he started a new job and that it has been extremely busy and that is why he was not present at some of the past meetings. He believes it will calm down and he should be able to make a more of the meetings next year. c. Consultant Vogel mentioned that the City of Chatfield Historic Preservation Commission will be sponsoring a Symposium on the architecture and historic preservation of the New Deal. The symposium will be held on Saturday November 2"d at the Chatfield Center for the Arts building. The first presentation will start at 8:30 am. Admission is free and all are welcome if not busy. d. Consultant Vogel explained about the Minnesota Environmental Rights Act. The City of Kasson has been sued under this act concerning what to do with the old elementary school. This is a last ditch preservation tool that Minnesota citizens have. Consultant Vogel cannot discuss the lawsuit in detail at this time;however,he feels this could be of interest to this Commission. He will keep the Commission apprised of the lawsuit. e. Consultant Vogel stated that Congress will begin holding hearings on the Federal Investment Tax Credit and changes could be made to the Credit. Consultant Vogel will keep the Commission aware of any changes. f. Assistant City Planner Wippler mentioned that he attended the Annual Historic Preservation Conference in Lanesboro. 10. Adjourn Motion by McMillen,second by Lehto,to adjourn at 8:04 p.m.APIF,Motion passed. Submitted by, Tony WI pier,A sistant City Planner • • 3 FARMINGTON HPC 2013 GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 1.

For those who were at the Minnesota Historic Preservation Conference in Lanesboro last September, conferees were given advance notice that the annual statewide_preservation conference will be held in conjunction with the AASLH conference. This is an amazing opportunity to network and share ideas with your community history and historic preservation peers from across the state and across the country. The theme is "Greater Than the Sum of Our Parts."Although AASLH will not announce its lineup of sessions until late in the spring of 2014, rest assured there will be Many opportunities you will not want to miss:the Program Committee is chaired by Erin Carlson Mast of'the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and she operates President Lincoln's Cottage, a historic house museum. In addition, there will be dedicated tracks for Historic Preservation and Tribal History drawn from a record 140 session proposals. Included with this mailing is information about scholarships. Minnesotans always turn out in good numbers to welcome guests, and the scholarships are meant to encourage participation from the broad history community. The scholarships are offered in January,April and June—so that state funds can get to you in time to register for the conference. Don't wait; unlike other MNHS continuing education opportunities, registering at the last minute will be expensive and the scholarships are • intended for the early bird registration time period. I hope to see you at the conference welcoming our national colleagues.
