Mr. Wilson motioned to approve the minutes. Mr. Matchett seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous vote. Item 3 - Discussion - Current Historic Districts Classifications in the GZO Ms. Ogden said last month there was discussion about local landmarks designation. The local landmark is not in the City of GallatinZoning Ordinance; however, it is a State of Tennessee Code. Local landmarks are designated through Planning Commission upon recommendation of the Historic District Commission and must be approved by City Council. Ms. Ogden said Conservation Districts are not in the State Code and would go through the same process to create a conservation district. If approved, the process would be to designate a conservation district area. Particular guidelines would be created at this point. Chair Richey asked if Conservation Districts would be an overlay to the zone district. Ms. Ogden said it would be an overlay to the zone district. Chair Richey presented a booklet with preservation approaches used in the Metro Nashville area, including procedures for applying for Conservation District status. The booklet includes answers to frequent questions. He suggested a similiar handbook or handout along the same lines for the City of Gallatin. A subcommittee could be appointed to review how the handbook would be created using the Metro Nashville booklet as a model. Ms. Ogden said she'would research any materials the City has before preparing an official document to be available to the public. Any such document would have to be approved by City Council. Mr. Matchett asked if the Planning Staff would like the Historic District to pursue Conservation Districts. Ms. Ogden said Staff does see a need for some protections for buildings such as those on the public square. She would like to discuss this with the Mayor. Chair Richey asked Ms. Ogden if she would like help from a subcommittee. Ms. Ogden said right now staff will do the research. Chair Richey reiterated that staff would look at organizing a handbook for the public. Mr. Thomson left the meeting at this time Item 4 - Outstandine Historic District Problem Properties Ms. Ogden said 7 56 East Main Street has a court date of October 1 1 to determine the next step, since the owner died and the home may be auctioned off.
