Director's Report December 13, 2004 1. Staff continues to work to see if the owner of the Bost House in Matthews is willing to sell the property. Stewart Gray has made contact with the owner, and we are waiting for a reply.
2. Three public hearings have occurred since the last meeting of the Commission. The Town of Davidson designated the Davidson Cotton Mills as a historic landmark. The Charlotte City Council designated the Builders Building, the Joseph Sykes Company Building, and increased the amount of land with the Hennigan Place. The Town of Matthews designated the interior of the Funderburk Grist Mill and Blacksmith Shop. 3. Staff has spent a considerable amount of time during the last month assisting the Town of Matthews in developing a preservation strategy for the Clark House. The prospective developer of the property (Lat Purser) is considering how the house might be incorporated into his plans.
4. Staff met with a prospective buyer of the W. T. Alexander Plantation. It was a most productive session, and we hope that the prospective buyer will submit a viable offer. 5. I am planning to meet with Parks Helms on December 22nd to discuss the need for replenishment funds for the Commission's revolving fund and to discuss how the work of the Commission can become better known by the Board of County Commissioners. 6. The Commission will be considering its budget request to the County for next year soon after the first of the year. Staff would welcome any suggestions as to what additional moneys need to become available. 7. Paul Archambault, a UNCC intern, and I made a presentation to the Town Board of Pineville on the results of the survey of Pineville's built environment. Len Norman, Chairman of the Survey Committee was also there, The Town is moving ahead with the implementation of the Survey's recommendations. Respectfully submitted,
