Historic Preservation Commission tables 217 Vine petition after HLFI easement noted; 130 Short Street applicant absent

The Lawrenceburg Historic Preservation Commission tabled review of a petition for work at 217 Vine after staff reported the property has an architectural façade easement held by HLFI and recommended the applicant seek HLFI approval before returning to the commission. The commission also recorded that the applicant for 130 Short Street did not appear and was instructed to reapply.

During the meeting, the commission approved minutes from its previous meeting by voice vote. A staff member reported contacting an applicant, Jenny Veil Lausch, saying, “They didn't come to a conclusion the last I spoke with her. I'll reach out to her again, and hopefully bring her report back to you next month.” The staff member then said staff learned that the first applicant, 217 Vine, “has an architectural façade easement on the face of it, held by HLFI. I have recommended to our applicant he approach HLFI about getting approvals, and then coming back to us. So, after speaking with the applicant, I'd like to ask that that be tabled till our next meeting.”

A commissioner moved to table the 217 Vine petition and the motion was seconded; the motion carried on a voice vote. When the commission discussed the second applicant, 130 Short Street, staff reported the applicant was not present. The commission did not table that item; staff said the applicant will need to reapply. In old business, a commissioner said they would present a document for review at the next meeting. The meeting concluded after a motion and second to adjourn passed by voice vote.

No formal vote counts or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript for the motions noted; votes were recorded only as voice votes (“Aye”).
