Agenda Projects Committee Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission May 8, 2008
1. Chairman's Report: Gray Newman 2. Director's Report: Dan Morrill 3. Holly Bend. Neck Road, Huntersville. The County will almost certainly be purchasing this property later this year. Built c. 1800, it is one of Mecklenburg County’s finest Plantation Homes. The County might ask the Board of County Commissioners to sell the house and some acreage, probably three or four, to the HLC for the price paid by the County. The scheme, just as with the Oehler House, would be for the Commission to sell the house with protective covenants in the deed. Does the Committee want to recommend to the HLC that it pursue purchase of the property?
4. Walker's Grocery, Belmont Neighborhood, Charlotte. The City will almost certainly be purchasing this property later this year. Built c. 1900, it is one of Mecklenburg County’s oldest neighborhood grocery store buildings. The City is currently negotiating with the owner and will most likely propose to City County that the HLC purchase the property. The scheme, just as with the Oehler House, would be for the Commission to sell the house with protective covenants in the deed. Does the Committee want to recommend to the HLC that it pursue purchase of the property?
5. Crutchfield, Bomar, Brem House, 307 East Blvd., Dilworth Neighborhood, Charlotte. A designated historic landmark and located in a local historic district, this is one of the oldest and finest examples of Queen Anne style architecture in Dilworth. A contingency contract has been written for the HLC to purchase the property. It has not been signed, an act that would require a vote of the majority of the Executive Committee. The only way to protect the house from possible demolition is for the Commission to purchase it and place preservation covenants in the deed when the house is sold. Does the Committee want to recommend to the HLC that it pursue purchase of the property?
6. Grier Rea House, Alexander & Providence Roads, Charlotte. Bryan Turner and Stewart Gray have met with the contractor and have visited the property with the contractor. An agreement has been reached which will require HLC approval. Bryan Turner will explain the specifics. Does the Committee want to recommend to the HLC that it approve the agreement?
7. Richard Wearn House. Tuckaseegee Rd., Charlotte. A local residential developer has purchased the property and intends to build a housing development. There is a likelihood that the developer will approach the Commission about possible purchase. Does the Committee want to recommend to the HLC that it pursue purchase of the property?
