The Statesville Planning Board held a brief meeting Tuesday night in which they mostly approved recommendations made to them by the Historic Preservation Commission for changes to the HPC guidelines.
The board approved sending seven changes to the guidelines to the city council, which has the final decision on the matter.
Among the matters the HPC considered were those dealing with replacement windows; the placement of satellite dishes; and those concerning impervious surfaces and surface water.
The HPC has decision-making power regarding the approval or denial of requests concerning work being done to the exterior of properties located in any of Statesville’s several historic districts. The commission uses the guidelines in helping its members make those decisions.
The planning board approved the recommendations on a 5-0 vote. Three board members were absent from the meeting.
This group included Board Chairman Robb Collier, who was with family holding vigil for a recovery of his brother, Judge Chris Collier. Chris Collier is in a Charlotte hospital struggling with the effects of what doctors believe to be an acute primary arrhythmia.
William Morgan, a Planning Board member and personal friend of Chris Collier, spoke at the meeting and expressed the board’s wishes for his recovery.
