GENERAL BUSINESS
Developer check-list:
Review of draft presented to the EHCA Board
Board feedback / Should we have different standards depending on size of the project?
Carl feedback / Can we require developers to strip buildings down to original siding and rebuild according to original features revealed? How do we hold them accountable?
Colleen feedback / We should provide some context in terms of our / EHCA's goals & priorities
Let’s get an updated version of checklist to Board for their next meeting so we can finalize & move forward
EHCA developer proposals:
What happens if we vote down a project? / How much do our votes actually make a difference
When, if ever, should we go further? (Apply for landmark status, etc.)We need a developer database & more info in advance of meetings
We need a system for holding developers accountable
(On a slight tangent but definitely related, if you haven't checked out Lydia Edward's proposed overhaul of the ZBA and Michelle Wu's plan to abolish the BPDA, they're both very interesting)
