58. Regular Meeting January 11, 1999 Page 3 worthy of consideration. Johnnie Armstead stated there had been previous discussion regarding establishing Dunbar as an historic district and wanted that to still occur. Mayor Moore stated these amendments to the Ordinance were necessary prior to proceeding with that plan, and the Council indicated a willingness for Dunbar to become an historic district. Hill Rylander stated the Ordinance amendments needed to be in place to pursue Dunbar and other areas. Mr. Doiron expressed concern regarding the designation, and whether or not it was necessary to be voluntary. Mr. Rylander stated we need to protect properties over fifty years old, and it should be advantageous to become an historic district. In response to Ms. Hughson, Mr. Taylor advised the boundaries were previously designated by Ordinance. Gwen Smith stated the Belvin and San Antonio Street Districts were initiated by citizens, and residents on Hopkins have expressed an interest. Lee Kenyon stated he lives on Hopkins and does not want to be in a district. No one else wished to speak, so Mayor Moore closed the public hearing. Mr. Cox moved for approval of the Ordinance on first reading and to amend Section 42.077(a) to "five" days, and in Section 42.077(f) to delete the fee to appeal to the ZBOA, and Mr. Moseley seconded the motion. Ms. Hughson moved to amend Section 42.077(a) to "ten" days and Mr. Doiron seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The Council then voted unanimously for approval of the Ordinance on first reading. Mayor Moore introduced for consideration reconsideration of a Zoning Ordinance.
