The HPC had considered signs in the past, <br /> consisting of the name of the house and a small description . Singleton thought that a <br /> committee was to design the signs and wondered if it had ever materialized . Allison reported <br /> that the HPC had discussed this issue at one time and concluded that some owners did not <br /> want their property identified as a LLD . Signs could be installed , however at the owner's <br /> request . The HPC discussed having a system similar to the National Register plaque program , <br /> where the property owner purchases and installs the sign . It was noted that the HPC could <br /> design the format and wording of designation to encourage unity and affordability . However, it <br /> would be too expensive to include descriptive site information , other than the name and <br /> perhaps date of construction . The possibility of researching the signage used by the state was <br /> recommended . <br /> Anderson suggested that a list of the LLD properties with descriptions be made available to the <br /> public at the ERCD . <br /> AGENDA ITEM # 3 : APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> a . March 22, 2000 <br /> Anderson noted corrections for spelling . <br /> MOTION : Connor moved to approve the minutes for March 22, 2000 with noted <br /> corrections .
