a.  Consideration of Survey and Research Report on the Solomon Levine House.  Click here for the Survey and Research Report.

At its December 2007 meeting the Survey Committee recommended that the Solomon Levine House be processed for historic landmark designation, but the Commission delayed final action until other modernist structures could be brought before the Commission.  Here are the two motions.

DR. MATTSON PRESENTED A MOTION SECONDED BY MR. NORMAN TO RECOMMEND TO THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION THAT THE SOLOMON AND SHIRLEY LEVINE HOUSE (INTERIOR, EXTERIOR AND LOT), 2300 CLOISTER DRIVE, CHARLOTTE, N.C., BE PROCESSED FOR HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION. THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE MOTION.

MR. NORMAN PRESENTED A MOTION SECONDED BY MR. CAMPBELL TO RECOMMEND TO THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION THAT THE CHARLOTTE COLISEUM ON INDEPENDENCE BOULEVARD, OVENS AUDITORIUM, THE SECOND WARD GYMNASIUM AND THE SHIRLEY AND SOLOMON LEVINE HOUSE ALL BE PRESENTED TO CHARLOTTE CITY COUNCIL AT THE SAME TIME FOR CONSIDERATION FOR HISTORIC LANDMARK DESIGNATION. THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE MOTION.

Because of delays in processing other modernist structures, especially the Charlotte Coliseum, Staff is recommending that the Solomon Levine House be processed independently from other modernist structures.  Click here for comment letter from the Division of Archives and History.
