Uh hello, welcome to the uh Tuesday, October 14th, Historic District Commission. We are expecting a couple of other commissioners, but we're gonna get started and they'll join us as soon as they are here. Um so the first thing that we need to do this evening is elect temporary officers. So Nancy and I both have timed out as officers in our current positions, and so we're gonna have elections at the end of the meeting tonight, but because the September meeting was canceled, we need to take care of that first. So I'd like to, and I Kevin, I think I can do this, make a motion that Nancy and I serve as chair and vice chair for this meeting. Okay, so uh all in favor, say aye, please. I second and aye. Okay, thank you. Second and an aye. Aye. Okay, excellent. Thank you very much. So we're gonna go ahead. Um so Nancy and I will act as officers for this meeting. Um worries.

Here, Glenn here, David, Laura, here uh, and Don. And we're expecting Josh, but we have quorum, so we're gonna keep moving. Uh Sharnika or Anna Scott, if you would please read procedures into the record. I'll now read into the record the following. The commission operates under NC General Statutes 160 D 940, which gives local governments historic preservation authority and the Chapel Hill land use management ordinance, including Article 3, which establish the local historic districts and sets forth regulations governing them, and the Chapel Hill Historic District's design principles and standards, which sets forth standards for changes in the historic districts, and the rules of procedure adopted by the Chapel Hill Historic District Commission, as well as the significance reports from all three historic districts and photographs. I also call to your attention each of the applications and associated materials in your agenda packet. All of these items are hereby entered into the record. Thank you. Thank you, Anna Scott. And I will now read the public charge. The advisory board pledges its respect to the public. The body asks the public to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the body and with fellow members of the public. Should any member of the body or any member of the public fail to observe this charge at any time? The chair will ask the offending person to leave the meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the chair will recess the meeting until a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. Okay, moving on to the next item on the agenda is approval of the agenda. So Sharnika and Anna Scott distributed the agenda well in advance of the meeting. Were there any questions about the agenda for tonight? I move approval as submitted. Thank you. Thank you. So Nancy uh moved to approve and David second. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. I think that was unanimous, none opposed. So the approval of the agenda was secured. Thank you. Uh announcements.
