Pella Historic Preservation Commission advances work on McClatchey Mill Historic District
Summary
The Pella Historic Preservation Commission continued development of a proposed McClatchey Mill Historic District covering 49 properties between Lincoln and Columbus streets and East First and East Second streets; commissioners expect inventory forms to be completed by the April 13 meeting.
The Pella Historic Preservation Commission on March 9 continued planning for a potential McClatchey Mill Historic District, a proposed overlay roughly bounded by Lincoln Street and Columbus Street and East First Street and East Second Street that would include 49 properties.
Chairperson Rhonda Kermode opened the work session item and said the commission is still compiling the property inventory. Commissioner Bruce Boertje reported he uploaded 49 site inventory forms to a shared OneDrive folder and is continuing to work on the forms; he said he hopes to have them completed by the commission's April 13, 2026 meeting.
The discussion focused on completing the documentation required to consider a local historic overlay. No formal motion or vote on designation occurred at the March 9 meeting; commissioners set follow-up work and a schedule for completing inventory forms and returning the item to a future agenda.
The commission's next regular meeting is scheduled for April 13, 2026.
