The Historic Preservation Commission met this morning, but no one representing Emanuel Lutheran Church showed up. Tom Swope, chair of the HPC, after conferring with Julian Adams from SHPO earlier this week, was prepared with a copy of a Preservation Brief on paint, which he hoped to give to the church board. At this point, it is uncertain where things stand except that the stop-work order is still in force, and so far no vinyl siding has been delivered to the site.

What bizaar bizzar behavior.
ReplyDeleteIf they want to vinyl why should they be told to do otherwise. Their place their money their decesion. Is this not America, or does Hudson play by what a few wants for a lot.
ReplyDeleteWithout fail some troll will drop the most specious argument available. Property rights are subject to the wills of the group, its called living in a society. Perhaps you missed the Blazing Sirens, but its what the many want now, check the metrics, historic preservation helped build this renaissance and there's no slowing it now. Stop being so ignorant.
ReplyDeletetroll here, so now you are telling me socirty knows what's best for my building if I choose vinyl instead of painting every 2 or 3 years. Go ahead let's fight that one Doc.
ReplyDeleteYes, because of the benefits historic preservation provides the society, and the fact you live in a city with preservation laws, and because of a whole history of zoning and town planning that says you can't put a whore house next to a school, We can tell you what's right for the exterior of your property. There are certain freedoms you acquiesce to the group when you live in close proximity to others. Due diligence would inform you that if Vinyl was that bloody important you could find another property that better suits your needs.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dr. Zizmor, very well said.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, you may want to consider moving to the Santa Cruz Mountains here in northern California, where people go to escape gum'mint regulation and live like Real Men. Of course, you do run the chance of getting shot to death by some contentious coot in the occasional property boundary dispute, but it's a small price to pay for freedom.
