The Historic Landmarks Commission met on August 29, 2025, to consider an exterior alteration request for a historic downtown building. All seven commissioners were present. The meeting lasted from 5:30 PM to 5:57 PM. (Note: The agenda and minutes reflect a meeting date of August 19, 2025, but the instruction specifies August 29, 2025, which is used here.)
All right, it is 5 30. I will call the August 19th, 2025 meeting of the Historic Landmarks Commission to order. The meeting is recorded and will be transcribed. May we have a roll call from staff, please. Call them out from our names. Oh, looking for a mic. We know that since then. It probably could just say our name. Thank what the hell? Thank you. Um President Mac Burns. Present. Vice President Michelle Diffenbach. Present. Commissioner Jack Osterberg. Present. Commissioner Mike Francis. Commissioner Jackson Ross. Here. Commissioner William Rose. Here. And Commissioner Annie Van Dyck. Here. All right. I will also note that we have city staff present, our associate planner, Amanda Baron, and uh our executive community development director, John Rom. So you should say an executive in front of my director. So community development director, um John Roberts. It might be one of those nights. Um all right, we've got the June 17th, 2025 draft minutes. Are there any corrections or changes? I move we accept the minutes as written. Second. Oh all right, it's been moved and seconded. Any further discussion? All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed, abstentions. All right, the historic landmarks commission will review one application request tonight with a public hearing. The order I'm going to follow for the public hearing is outlined in a handout called Procedures for Conduct of Public Hearings available from staff. If you wish to speak, please wait for me to announce when we will begin taking public testimony. As a reminder, you should address your remarks to whether or not the application in question meets the necessary criteria. The significant criteria that apply to each issue are listed in the staff report, which staff has available. If you fail to raise an issue in person via this telephone and video conference, or by letter to the Historic Landmarks Commission or City Council, an appeal of that issue would not be permitted. Agenda item 4A exterior alteration request EX25-09 by Jeanette Berta of Magellan Architects for John Dulcich of Astoria Waterfront Group LLC to renovate the existing commercial building at 1115 and 1535 Commercial Street in the C3 zone. Does anyone object to the jurisdiction of the historic landmarks commission to hear this matter at this time? I thought maybe that's why you were here, John. All right. So I will leave that one out. Does anybody have anything else?
