Board alerted to upcoming historic design review; members request quasi‑judicial refresher
Summary
Staff announced an upcoming historic design review for a barn-to‑ADU conversion and the board agreed to schedule quasi‑judicial hearing refresher training (video or classroom) before considering the application.
Staff told the Historic Review Board that a historic design review application is expected for conversion of a barn into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The application is not yet complete; staff said when it is, the board will schedule a hearing. Members discussed constraints on informal site visits and the need to base quasi‑judicial decisions on the record rather than outside inspection.
Members requested a refresher on quasi‑judicial hearing procedures; options discussed included an in‑person classroom session and existing training videos. Staff agreed to schedule a refresher before the anticipated design review and to circulate several date options via calendar invites.
