CARMEL HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CARMEL CITY COUNCIL
OCTOBER 2015
JULY-OCTOBER 2015
During this quarter, the Carmel Historic Preservation Commission continued work towards
establishing key Commission related documents.
Over the three month period, the Commission reviewed various Certificate of Appropriateness
applications from across the state. The Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) application is the
official document used by the Historic Preservation Commission for individuals owning property
in historic and/or conservation districts seeking approval from the commission. Based on the
Commissioners feedback and utilizing other City of Cannel applications as reference,the
Commission developed a COA application that best fit the needs of Cannel. The application is
designed to be straightforward and simple. The Commission will approve the Certificate of
Appropriateness application at their next regularly scheduled meeting.
The Commission is working towards application as a Certified Local Government, a program
through the National Park Service and managed by the Indiana Division of Historic Preservation
and Archaeology. With this certification, it provides the City of Carmel additional financial
opportunities for grants and programs to support historic preservation throughout the community.
Commission staff Mark Dollase and Chairperson Carol Schleif met with Mayor Brainard to
discuss the Certified Local Government status and he expressed interest in supporting such an
application.
The Commission previously worked with the Plum Creek Homeowner's Association(HOA)to
encourage the preservation of the Plum Creek Corn Crib. As a result, in September, the Plum
Creek HOA received a$10,000 Efroymson Family Fund grant via Indiana Landmarks'
recommendation to restore the roof of the Corn Crib.
During the Commission's September meeting, the Commission staff prepared an education
session on infill design for the Commissioners. This education is important towards an engaged
and expert level Commission when they are tasked with approving new construction in a historic
district.
Respectfully submitted,
Mark Dollase, Cannel Historic Preservation Commission Administrator
