Historic districts 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.

And while I have my microphone on, I'll just remind commissioners to please turn your mic on and speak into the mic clearly.

Thanks.

I am now speaking into my mic.

I'm going to uh read the uh public charge.

The advisory body uh body pledges its respect to the public.

The body asks the public to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, uh, 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 uh regains personal control.

Should the quorum fail to be restored, the chair will recess the meeting until a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed.

Um property owners may represent themselves or be represented by attorney, however, professionals such as architects, engineers, designers, and others may provide factual evidence and expert opinions so far as they are qualified, but not legal arguments on behalf of the property owner.

So that is the public charge.

And now we need an approval of the agenda.

Is there gonna be are there gonna be any changes to the agenda that you guys know of?

Okay.

Can we have someone want to approve the agenda?

Move the agenda as submitted.

I second.

All in favor?

Aye.

We'll just go with a straight eye on that one.

Is that okay?

I'm not gonna do the roll call on that.

Um and then announcements.

I don't think there are any, are they?

Yes.

Uh so Phil Lyons is here.

He wants to give the commission an update on the Coker Hills um National Register nomination.

And um, and staff is working on our um CLG report that's due at the end of the month.

Um we don't have any substantive update, but um we are working on that to get it submitted.

Okay, very good, thank you.

Come on up, Phil.

Have exciting news.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Um, members of the commission for the record my name is Phil Lyons.

I am a trustee of Preservation Chapel Hill.

We have been advised by the state historic preservation office that SHIPO has approved the staff that should have approved our application or our nomination for the Coker Hills neighborhood and the National Register of Historic Places.

We understand further, since Chapel Hill is a CLG, just recently mentioned, uh, that this matter will come before this body sometime in the new year for action and possibly as much as a hearing.

I don't know because I haven't seen the instructions from SHIPO.

Just finally, this represents the culmination of three and a half years of work to get the nomination at this point.

And it's been a wonderful project and a collaboration between the Coker Hills Neighborhood Association and Preservation Chapel Hill.

So I look forward to talking to you again about it soon, but did not want to uh wind up on your agenda without you knowing in advance.

Thank you very much.

If you have any questions, happy to try to answer them.

Does anyone have a question?

I just want to say thank you to Preservation Chapel Hill, but also to you personally because you've spearheaded this and done a great job as usual.

We appreciate it.

Very kind, thank you.

And so everybody knows when he says SHIPO that stands for State Historic Preservation Office.

A lot of people don't know that alphabet suit, so that's what we're talking about.

All right.

Thanks for that clarification.

All right.

So approval of the minutes from November 11.

I'm assuming you guys have had a chance to look at them or you remember them.

Do we need a motion to approve the minutes?
