Again, thank you for your service, Blake. On Tue, May 25, 2021 at 11:31 AM Blake < wrote: > Michael- You are very welcome. It came before the Commission last evening and recognizing your last name I thought to reach out. The Commission did take the first step of initiating historic zoning, but we are basically asking for more information on the property. As you know, once these structures are gone there is no do over. With your permission, I would like to pass this email string along to the appropriate person in the City’s Historic Preservation office. Yes, my partner Karen and I are doing well; hopefully your family is well also. My regards- Blake > On May 25, 2021, at 10:13 AM, Michael Mcginnis wrote: > > Blake, hope all is well with you.

While it was built in the 50’s and added onto in the 70’s it was a rather unremarkable structure. This house can’t even be seen from the street or the lake. > > The McGinnis family does not urge “Historic” designation on 2708 Scenic Drive. > > Thank you for checking with us! > > Mike McGinnis > > Sent from my i-phone expect errors > >> On May 24, 2021, at 8:08 PM, Blake wrote: >> >> Michael- >> >> Blake Tollett here. We know of each other from OANA, downtown. I am on the HLC and we are currently deliberating on a demolition permit on 2708 Scenic Drive. Is this property part of your family’s heritage.
