Commission members said the historical society is worried about weather damage to exposed openings and asked the commission to pursue repairs.

Staff advised that the Thompson House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places but is town-owned. Staff said that, because no federal or state grant funding is currently involved, the town can carry out repairs but must follow town building-permit procedures. For fence or gate repair, staff said a fence permit application and supporting drawings are required and that the owning department (the Town of Carbondale) should submit the application.

Commissioners asked whether funds earmarked for Thompson House work would roll into the next fiscal year. Staff said unspent funds typically revert to the general fund and advised commissioners to check with Jared (town finance) about reappropriating the money for 2026. Staff also said they would reapply if necessary.

For immediate protection, commissioners discussed temporary stabilization options — plywood or cut plexiglass for missing windows — and said local volunteers had already done some temporary work. Commissioners discussed seeking qualified contractors experienced with historic properties for permanent repairs and noted the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) can provide lists of qualified contractors when grants are involved.

No formal motion to allocate funds for Thompson House repairs was recorded. Commissioners directed staff to coordinate with the historical society, consult with finance (Jared) about reappropriation, and prepare the documentation needed for a building-permit application should the town proceed with repairs.

The commission also discussed whether minor gate repairs could proceed locally, but staff reiterated that even local repairs should follow permit protocol and be done by qualified contractors to avoid further damage to historic fabric.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Carbondale Historic Preservation Commission Meeting, September 4, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission reviewed repair needs at the Thompson House, discussed temporary stabilization, and clarified that because the town owns the National Register property, a building permit process is required for fence/gate repairs; staff will check budget reappropriation for 2026.","taxTitle","Carbondale, Garfield County, Colorado","taxId",61895,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6475755,"Carbondale preservation commission sets Nov. 6 open house, finalizes outreach plan for design guidelines",1832,358000,2190000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5732098-d785f89323088ab809826da8dd7ec23b&start=358&end=2190","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5732098-d785f89323088ab809826da8dd7ec23b/thumbnail_358000.jpg","/articles/6475755/Carbondale/Garfield-County/Colorado/Carbondale-preservation-commission-sets-Nov-6-open-house-finalizes-outreach-plan-for-design-guidelines","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6475755-6ddc88fb574f7d75935e1eb92abac220/orig.mp4?Expires=1770628151&Signature=Bv1s6u1T4OlRJdgX-nl-zyjh4gBe-g6UIVcYTaIgEZ8Y1eJ55v5q2yL~mvEAWVADeqvR~iCvQtP~gZVQSpwgsTILLdGYhPaMyV-J2dsi5nDXbw2TaCmU7TFe52JIvUnKzr-Jo7nt28ukYJNK0mMSZrLxuPalr5SwghmmezPxQWJkOrGclsDyvf86dUl1j~9QuBS33KSWf9mNUl4A7rGzjh~vWQzocRFN5dKVsUunEsu5MdtpvOQ3LeMRjF6FvzYZan~~21Q1cBC4L0nyMpgL-Px0M~6Wav2nf-Dl3UagYIyKizHmaDSzFfJDGVb0Ges8G5BYDOmstjlpdMlYwfMykA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carbondale Historic Preservation Commission on Sept. 4 scheduled a public open house for Nov. 6 (in lieu of that night’s regular meeting) and agreed to an outreach push that will include First Friday and Potato Days booths, 24-by-36 posters with maps, and QR codes linking to the Carbondale Connect website for comments.

The outreach is part of the commission’s process to update the town’s historic preservation design guidelines. Staff told the commission the project timeline begins from the grant award and runs through an April 1 target date for guideline completion; commissioners were told a draft would be available by about Sept. 15 for review and to inform poster copy and distribution.

Commissioners discussed staffing for public events. First Friday was reported as already scheduled; Potato Days requires confirmation of a table next to the historical society booth. Commissioners volunteered shifts and asked staff to confirm booth placement with event organizers. Staff said the public works crew will set up booths and that volunteers should plan for peak hours around lunch (about 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.).

On outreach materials, staff presented a poster draft that emphasizes a large map, project goals, a short “ideas we are exploring” section, and QR codes for feedback on Carbondale Connect. The commission asked that the map be separated onto its own board and recommended keeping public-facing text short and prominent so passersby understand the review is a courtesy process and that no approval is required to attend or comment.

Commissioners discussed three review-options language to include on outreach materials: continued courtesy review, courtesy review with opt-in incentives, and a mandatory review option with incentives. Staff said the mandatory-approval option had not been adopted and that the outreach should solicit public preference among options; no policy change was adopted at the meeting.

The commission also reviewed refreshment budgeting for the open house. Commissioners recalled a prior event bill of about $170 and discussed a proposed guideline of $100 for simple snacks and drinks for the broader-town open house. No formal appropriation was voted at the meeting; commissioners recommended keeping food simple and proportional to expected attendance.

Next steps identified: staff will circulate the design-guidelines draft when it is available (staff indicated a mid-September draft date), finalize poster copy and layout, confirm booth placement at Potato Days, and publish event notices on social media, the monthly newsletter and in the local paper.

A separate administrative motion to approve the commission’s prior meeting minutes was taken by voice vote during the meeting; the minutes were approved and recorded in the meeting minutes.","The Carbondale Historic Preservation Commission scheduled a public open house for Nov. 6 and approved an outreach plan that includes First Friday and Potato Days booths, large posters, and online comment options as part of its update to historic preservation design guidelines.","actionData","errors"]
