Summary

The commission moved two agenda items (1700 Reynolds and 805 Austin Drive) to the end of the agenda to give staff time to contact applicants, approved the consent agenda and welcomed new commissioners Alex Ruiz and Kelly Blau.

During routine agenda management, the Historic Landmark Commission moved two items — the certificate of appropriateness request for 1700 Reynolds Street and the after-the-fact parkway case for 805 Austin Drive — to the end of the agenda so staff could try contacting absent applicants.

After procedural motions the commission approved the consent agenda. The commission then introduced two newly seated commissioners: Alex Ruiz, who identified himself as working in commercial real estate and expressed a commitment to preserving local history, and Kelly Blau, a retired Sunset Heights resident who said she previously served on the commission.

The meeting recessed briefly for staff to call applicants and later reconvened; the commission subsequently adjourned without returning to the moved items during this session.
