In addition I would like to have each commissioner receive a printed copy of the 2017 Seward Historic Preservation Plan. Also, I tried to pull up Ordinance No. 519 to no avail. Please provide this paperwork as well. It seems we need to create an Ordinance that Council will approve for the Historic District Overlay which currently only has a Resolution. All of the information requested as well as this is important for the creation of a formal and clearly understood Historic Overlay that is enforceable. And again, please send a reminder to each commissioner to bring along their copy of the Standards and Guidelines we received at our last meeting. know that I am requesting a lot of information but this will not be ongoing as each commissioner will be responsible to come to each relative meeting with this information in hand. 13 Yes this is all for the Work Session. Some of it may also be used for the Regular Meeting but it is necessary for the Work Session. Thank you so much for your hard work on this.
