[MissoulaGov] Historic Preservation Ordinance

[Paradigm1 at aol.com]

Dan,
 
How does Preserve Historic Missoula feel about allowing parcel  owner's 
inside a Historic District, an opportunity to vote on adoption of  the 
ordinance. I have no real issue with people agreeing to these restrictions  as long 
as they have a direct vote in the matter. Something like a mail-in  
ballot... 51% of voters say "yes"... and it is adopted....?

Joe, with regards to the four points you've  raised, Preserve Historic 
Missoula understands and supports your position on  the need to clarify language 
so that it is apparent that the historic  preservation ordinance will not 
change the underlying zoning of a  property.  We support your concept of the 
downtown and delaying the  ordinance for the downtown until design standards 
and guidelines are  developed; however, our position is that there must be 
a clearly  defined time line for writing and adopting these standards and  
guidelines.  We have met with numerous people in our community in an  effort 
to find common ground in this process and we understand your concerns  about 
these points.  However, Preserve Historic Missoula will not support  
removing our historic districts from the ordinance.  Missoula's  historic 
districts have been listed on Preserve Historic Missoula's Eleven  Most Endangered 
Historic Sites list for the last two years because they do not  have any 
protection.  The preservation and protection of Missoula's  historic districts 
are a very high priority for our  organization.  We want to make it clear 
that we appreciate your  candor and willingness to work with us on this 
ordinance, if people would like  to sit down in a productive fashion to discuss the 
ordinance in more  detail, feel free to give me a call any time.
 
Dan Hall, 
President,
