OLD BUSINESS

hall to present an update and obtain feedback about the phases for updating the South End Overlay
District (zoning) text and development of design standards. The core group will be meeting with the
consultants again Friday to finalize the Planning Commission agenda request. Discussion among
commissioners ensued regarding the meeting feedback, the timeline for the project and supporters.
Project Updates
Jackson confirmed he is working with Chantel on the wording for the preservation informational brochure
and commissioners were encouraged to send suggestions. Chantel confirmed that the billboard was
installed at Breezy Point. Jan suggested the billboard design be used for posters and/or postcards. Sarah
said she can look at how the Historical Society could participate as a point of purchase location.
Sarah and Chantel confirmed that the city has installed the panels that the Historical Society produced at
each location in the three National Historic Districts. Chantel encouraged everyone to go by to see them.
Sarah reviewed the success of the Fort Screven tours by the Historical Society and thanked the
commissioners that participated.
Commissioners reviewed ideas for an entrance sign/display for the Fort Screven District at Campbell and
Van Horne. Jackson and Jan will email Chantel their examples of signage. Chantel will contact the design
studio for a concept drawing that the commissioners can review in order to develop a budget for
materials, etc.

NEW BUSINESS
Sarah reported that she has not received any permits requiring HPC review from the Community
Development Department’s Planning and Zoning Office since the last meeting. She asked which
commissioners will be assisting with reviewing permits since Jane is no longer serving. Susan and Jan
volunteered.
Jan reviewed an event, Memorial-Sinking of the HMS Otranto, which she would like the HPC to consider
being listed as the event organization on the event application she submitted to Chantel. Submitting the
application for consideration was per the City Manager’s recommendation because some of the activities
are proposed to take place on city property and city services may be necessary. Since she has listed the
HPC as the organizer, Chantel suggested that the HPC be provided the information to review and
consider. Jan shared information about Otranto and the event she would like to do. Susan made a
motion that to accept that the HPC be listed as the event organization for the event, which was seconded
by Phil. The motion passed unanimously.
Jan reviewed a list of new projects she would like the HPC to consider working on. Jackson asked that the
time which may possibly be needed with the design guidelines and other projects for the HPC be
considered as additional projects are considered. Commissioners discussed and agreed to delay reviewing
additional projects until a later meeting when adequate time is available for them to do so. Jan will email
her list to all commissioners for them to review prior to such meeting. Sarah suggested that all consider
the projects that have been completed, the purpose of the commission, and plan accordingly when
deciding on additional projects for this year and years to come in order to maintain enthusiasm.
ADJOURNMENT
The meeting adjourned at 7:12pm.
