Developer asks for preservation study on Greenville site; staff says it cannot give recommendations at public meeting
Summary
Streetlights Residential's development team asked the board for contacts to evaluate two houses on a Greenville site (1321 Greenville flagged as high priority); board members suggested private referrals while staff said it cannot provide recommendations during a public meeting.
A board member reported that the Director of Development from Streetlights Residential contacted staff seeking help locating a group or consultant to study historic houses on the developer's Greenville site and advise preservation options. The board member said one address on the property, 1321 Greenville, is identified as a high-priority home and another as medium priority; he asked whether the board could suggest local experts to review preservation options.
Staff cautioned that "staff can't give any recommendations" during a public meeting and that board members should avoid making formal recommendations in that setting; board members suggested privately sharing names of local consultants or individuals (one member cited 'James' as a possible contact). Staff said they would follow up with the developer outside the public meeting and direct them to appropriate resources while respecting the board's advisory limits.
