Executive Director of the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development requesting to review the proposed First Universalist Church Local Historic District (LHD) at 125 Highland Avenue.

Official Text

To the Honorable City Council:

 

I am requesting to have our Historic Preservation staff from the Division of Planning, Preservation and Zoning, meet with a committee of the council to discuss the proposal to create the First Universalist Church Local Historic District encompassing the property at 125 Highland Avenue. 

 

The Historic Preservation Commission authorized a study for this site in November. This item will be the subject of a public hearing by the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) on March 28, 2022. After that hearing, if approved by the HPC, the item will be placed on the council agenda for action, which would liekly occur in early April. 

 

I think this item would benefit from an introductory conversation prior to reaching the council, and therefore, I am asking this item be referred to the appropriate committee.

 

Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.

 

George Proakis

Executive Director
