Our historic district passed a milestone this past year. After fourteen years in existence, the task force is seeing responsible, complete (site plan, specific details, etc.) CA applications. "Asking for forgiveness", a bane of the task force (asking for completed work to be approved, in most cases knowing that we would not have approved it in the first place-we don't approve it in the second case either!), has pretty much vanished. As Robert Kam said, we are no longer reviewing applications with primitive pictures drawn ten minutes before our meeting or photographs of someone else's house with the simple claim, "this is what I want to do". I think both the old pioneers and the newer residents are all finally on the same page. We know that we are most fortunate to live in a fabulous historic neighborhood and we are all working together famously to keep it fabulous!
