I wasn't sure where to send this to but hoping you can share these remarks with the Historic Preservation Commission: The HPC seems to have developed a recent tendency to focus not on the history of buildings and places but instead on what is going to be built in making decisions. I would like them to emphasize the former more, as believe it more closely aligns with their expertise and jurisdiction. Commissioner Derek Richey for instance posted to the History Club Facebook page about the Player's Pub building. Totally fine, but he also posted that implied scary, ugly, and expensive student housing would be built there. Let Planners and the City Commission deal with that. I'd like HPC to focus on whether something is worth saving, and if the only reason it is worth saving is to stop something HPC doesn't like instead of its historic value, that is not a good reason for HPC to stop something. I have no dog in the fight with this building - whatever happens is fine - but let's not use scare tactics and pseudoplanning. Historic districts are often pitched to neighborhoods as a means to enhance property values so complaining about how something high priced will go in somewhere is a bit hypocritical anyways. Also thank you for those times you all allow flexibility to creative development and reuse when keeping the old while adding new needed dimensions to our town.
