Thomaston HPC begins review of Historic Preservation Ordinance; demolition and maintenance policies discussed
Summary
Commission members discussed updates to the City of Thomaston Historic Preservation Ordinance, focusing on demolition standards within/adjacent to the historic district, property maintenance provisions, potential COA-by-right for routine work, and an annual preservation award. Follow-up is expected at the July meeting.
Commission member Chelsea Fallin led a discussion on June 8 about potential updates to the City of Thomaston Historic Preservation Ordinance.
Fallin summarized notes and invited commission feedback on several topics: demolition within or adjacent to the historic district, requirements for ongoing property maintenance, creating a COA-by-right pathway for standard maintenance work, and establishing an annual preservation award to recognize stewardship. She said she would bring more to the July meeting and asked members to forward thoughts beforehand.
No formal motion or vote was taken on ordinance language at this meeting; commissioners framed this as an introductory review and requested additional research and member input ahead of a future proposal.
