If so, answer I do.

In order to be eligible to vote on an application, a commissioner must have made the required site visit and attended any and all meetings at which an application was discussed.

That being said, are there any commissioners with statements of eligibility?

Mr.

If you have any questions, please reach out to the planning department and we will be able to help you.

It's already on the continuance agenda as it that was the previous vote of the commission that to move it to this meeting.

However, another um continuance was uh requested and it's part of your packet, so that will be voted on in the order of the uh current agenda item.

Well, I'm sorry, I missed the last part of my question.

We'll just vote on that request for a continuance according to the established agenda.

All right, thank you.

Thank you.

All right, moving on to the approval of minutes for the March 13th, 2025 hearing and workshop.

Mr.

Chairman, I'll move to I would like to make one on the call to order.

Uh it was uh probably Mr.

Fitzgerald who noted that the the Frederick City Historic Preservation Commission used the guidelines adopted, et cetera, et cetera.

Mr.

Chairman, I move to approve the hearing minutes for March 13th, 2025 as amended.

I will second all right.

Any further questions or concerns?

Hearing none.

All in favor, please raise your hand.

All right, and the minutes as amended pass unanimously.

Thank you.

Moving on to HPC business.

Mr.

Chairman, I'm going to hear that is for March 13.

Uh, I'd like to enter the home memo into the record.

A request of demolition review has been submitted per section 423 of the land management code for a dwelling at 912 Seminamole Road.

Planning staff have to has determined that the structure is in whole or in part 50 years or older.

Based on this evaluation, the Historic Preservation Commission is charged with determining if the property is potentially eligible for individual historic designation.

A property is eligible for designation for historic preservation overlay.

If it is at least 50 years, retains historical integrity and meets one of the following criteria listed in the memo.

The dwelling at 912 Senwell Road was constructed in circa 1955.

The building remained under the ownership of the couple until the death and ownership remained in the family until 2016 when the property was bought by the current owners.

The structure retains a good degree of historic integrity, maintaining elements of its original location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.

The building is a good example of a minimal traditional architecture from the form with the colonial revival details, but lacks a high level of architectural significance.

Research has not indicated that the property holds significance for an event or culture group, nor was anyone any information found to indicate that it was associated with the lives of significant persons.

Staff finds that the property is not individually eligible for designation and recommends that the commission not pursue a designation application.

With that, I'll take any questions.

So to sum up, it's 50s red brick tract housing, and it's in fairly it has it's fairly unaltered from that condition, but that in and of itself isn't especially significant.

Correct.

Thank you.

Commissioners, any questions or concerns regarding the staff report?

I have no questions, sir.

Um I do appreciate staff's report and agree that it certainly does not meet the criteria needed for historic preservation overlay.

And with that, I'm prepared to make a motion.

Please do.

I'm familiar with HPC 25-110 DR at 912 Seminole Road.

And I move that we do not request a historic preservation overlay for this property.

I'll second.
