Commission moves Bell Tower nomination toward a public hearing, tables Braden & Griffith Block
Summary
Planning staff told the commission the Bell Tower nomination at 201 East 2nd Street is complete and meets local criteria; the commission moved to schedule a public hearing (motion seconded; no vote recorded in the transcript). The Braden & Griffith Block nomination was tabled for further review (motion passed, roll call recorded as four ayes).
The Florence Historic Preservation Commission reviewed two local designation nominations on April 28.
Planning Director Fox reported the nomination application for the Bell Tower at 201 East 2nd Street and said the nomination review committee found the application complete and determined the Bell Tower meets criteria for historical and architectural significance. Chair Angel moved that the Commission find the application complete and eligible and schedule it for a public hearing at the next regular meeting; Member Kinzer seconded. The meeting record includes the motion and second but does not record a roll-call vote in the transcript.
For the Braden & Griffith Block, Planning Director Fox said the nomination review committee recommended revising the designation category to emphasize the building's historical significance (rather than—or in addition to—architectural significance), noted the building's listing on the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties, and suggested possibly recognizing the building's museum use and expanding the narrative on its evolution. Chair Angel moved to table the Braden & Griffith Block nomination to the next regular meeting for further discussion; Member Dixon seconded and the motion passed on a roll call of four ayes.
The minutes indicate the Bell Tower nomination will proceed toward the public-hearing process if the Commission formally schedules it at a future meeting; the Braden & Griffith Block nomination is deferred for additional discussion and possible revision.
