The subcommittee <br /> narrowed the field of candidates to two and requested additional <br /> information on qualifications and work experience. Staff has <br /> received input from The Jaeger Company and Ramsay Leimenstoll which <br /> is described below. Also refer to attachments. <br /> Jo Ramsay Leimenstoll, AIA - Staff inquired as to her experience <br /> with rural preservation issues and whether the UNCG research <br /> project is relevant to rural areas. She responded that the UNCG <br /> project deals with Greensboro's historic districts. She added that <br /> her proposal had included assistance from Kaye Graybeal, who has <br /> two years experience working on the proposed Oak Ridge (local <br /> rural) Historic District in Guilford County. <br /> Kaye Graybeal contacted the Planning Department to provide details <br /> on her work with the Oak Ridge community. She indicated that the <br /> proposed district has been discussed at four community meetings and <br /> seven public hearings and is now before the Guilford County <br /> Commissioners for designation. It would be the second such rural <br /> districts in the State, the other being Valle Crucis. <br /> The Jaeger Company - Staff asked for additional examples of the <br /> company's work on preservation plans and for a chart missing from <br /> the Hall County, Georgia, plan included with the proposal. The <br /> Planning Director for Hall County was contacted for a reference. He <br /> praised the work of The Jaeger Company and said the principal <br /> appeared to have "good oversight" of her younger staff members. He <br /> also said The Jaeger Company has been hired again to work on a <br /> community appearance/beautification effort related to the 1996 <br /> Olympics. <br /> The subcommittee also wanted The Jaeger Company to reassess the <br /> time proposed to complete "Project Initiation" and "Resource <br /> Identification" as listed in the "Work Approach" chart submitted <br /> with the proposal. It seemed that an inordinate amount of time was <br /> proposed to compile data that the Planning Department could provide <br />
