ACTION ITEM: Petition for Landmark Status - 1339 Alta Vista Street: Commissioners reviewed the application, staff report, and related materials from David Moessner and Jeanne Stevenson-Moessner petitioning that the residential property they own at 1339 Alta Vista Street be designated as a City (local) Landmark. The Commission noted that the property is not listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There were no public comments. Motion by Stein, seconded by Winterwood, to recommend to the Council that though the request is consistent with the Cultural Arts goal and four of the objectives related to cultural and historic resources listed in the Comprehensive Plan, the property does not measure up to the historical landmark status level of the eight existing City Landmarks, and that the City Council deny the City Landmark request. Motion carried unanimously. LIAISON/SUBCOMMITTEE REPORTS: Joint City/County Plannina Committee: No report. Downtown Plannina Committee: Chairperson Rusk reported that the consensus of the Downtown Planning Committee was that Ms. Anne Ricker modify the citizen guide as recommended by the Committee, and then send it to staff to review. Ms. Ricker will also provide a one-page format for inserts, the Downtown Master Plan on a CD, a CD label, and a web page format for the citizen guide. The Downtown Planning Committee determined that 2,500 pieces would be printed at an approximate cost of $3,100. Consensus was that the revised citizen guide would be mailed to the media and to the approximately 200 people on the contact list who received the Downtown Dubuque Master Plan with notification that it was complete. The citizen guide mailing will include a thank you letter to investors.
