Swann cautioned the Commission to set aside their personal feelings on the project and look only at the historical significance of Washington Street to Seward. Carpenter noted that from a historical point Washington Street as it was platted in the Original Townsite plat was very important to Seward. Park and Huber supported the historical significance of Washington Street and suggested that a more in-depth review was needed before the vacation was allowed. Swann spoke to the public comment for support of a Seward historic district. He noted that perhaps the district might not qualify for the national register but Seward could set it's own guidelines. Motion (Swann/Park) Schedule the review of the Vacation of Washington Street for the October Agenda, request staff to provide further information and recommend the Planning and Zoning Commission postpone action on the vacation request until a through historic review is complete. The Commission discussed the time line for the request to vacate Washington Street and supported the historic significance of Washington Street to Seward. It was noted that once the vacation was approved, Washington Street and the historic significance was gone forever. Motion Passed Unanimous Swann requested that a discussion of the historic significance of the Solly Building be placed on the October agenda.
