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,
