Historic Preservation Ordinance and Historic Register Update

Spoke in favor of historic preservation but requested a supplemental preservation fund to help owners deal with major structural repairs for older homes.

Expressed strong opposition to placing properties on the historic register without owner consent, arguing it strips away property rights and causes financial harm.

Raised concerns about being placed on the registry due to an old tank house structure on his property and questioned whether he would be forced to rebuild the tank.

Argued that the ordinance places too much burden on well-maintained 60-to-70-year-old properties, potentially restricting housing opportunities near transit.
