[MissoulaGov] Planning Board on Tuesday

[Paradigm1 at aol.com]

I agree with their comments as well. I strongly support the idea of  
historic preservation ... my architecture firm has won four awards for it,  and we 
intend to win more. I just believe this Ordinance is like fishing  with a 
giant net, Instead of a hook.

I agree  with the comments made by Geoff Badenoch and Joe Easton and am an 
owner of  property in the University area that would be directly impacted by 
this  ordinance.  I did not want this property placed on the historic 
register  because one of the structures is not historic as I view it and one  
structure is an historic residence.  I believe this ordinance goes beyond  what 
is reasonable.

I  support historic preservation for all the reasons stated in the  
ordinance.  However, I encourage everyone to read this Ordinance and  participate 
in discussions surrounding it.   
Among my concerns are  the breadth of situations covered, the burden of new 
requirements on property  owners, timeliness of processing approvals, and 
the subjective nature of the  judgment required of the Historic Preservation 
Officer.  The current HPO,  for example, is knowledgeable about historic 
structures but he is not immortal  and will not be in the position forever. 
What about the next person?   What qualifications, sensitivities, creativity, 
and common sense will that  person possess?  Whenever government tries to 
legislate subjective  judgment into the law, it usually creates more problems 
than it solves.   It opens a legal Pandora’s Box in which the concept “
arbitrary and capricious”  can be spotted by any first year law student.  
I believe  Missoula would benefit from a  reasonable Historic Preservation 
ordinance.  I hope citizens will read  the ordinance (link below) and judge 
for themselves if this is the way to go  about it.
