6. Projects Committee Report: Paula Lester
A. Thomas and Latitia Gluyas House, 7314 Mt. Holly-Huntersville Rd., Charlotte
The Historic Landmarks Commission has a right of first refusal to purchase the house, because the HLC purchased and sold the house with deed covenants several years ago. Staff has contacted the prospective buyer and is convinced that the prospective buyer understands the restrictions on the property. Consequently, Staff recommends that the Commission waive its right of first refusal to purchase the Gluyas House.
B. Younts General Store, 316 Main St., Pineville
1) The tenant's lease on the property expires on September 30, 2012.
Staff recommends that the lease be renewed for one year under current arrangements.
2) Bryan Turner has received bids to perform repairs on the building. Staff has asked Bryan Turner to determine those items which are mandatory and those that are necessary
Mandatory: $103,025 Discretionary: $2,450
Staff recommends that the mandatory items be funded if the repair of the parapet wall, which is essential for public safety, requires a full roof replacement.
C. Blankenship Feed and Oil Store, 330 Main St., Pineville
The tenant's lease on the property expires on September 30, 2012.
Staff recommends that the lease be renewed for one year under current arrangements.
D. Grier-Rea House, 6701 Providence Rd., Charlotte
The Commission's rezoning application remains active. However, the Commission must decide whether it wishes to withdraw the application or attempt to keep it active.

The Historic Landmarks Commission is performing due diligence on the prospective purchase of the property by the HLC.

This matter must be considered in Executive Session. Click here for Survey of Property
7. Survey Committee Report: Jill Walker
A. Change of Funding for Survey and Research Report.
The Commission has approved funding for a Survey and Research Report on Fire Station No. 2 (1958) at 1215 South Boulevard, Charlotte, N.C. The Charlotte Fire Department does not favor the designation of the building at this time but would support the designation of Fire Station No. 8 at 2009 Commonwealth Avenue. Staff believes that there is reason to believe that Fire Station No. 8 does possess special significance.
Staff recommends that approval for funding a Survey and
Research Report on Fire Station No. 2 (1958) be rescinded and that funding
for a Survey and Research Report on Fire Station No. 8 (2009 Commonwealth
Ave.) be approved.
