MINUTES OF THE HISTORIC DISTRICT COMMISSION FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY January 8, 2020 CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL CALL The Historic District Commission held a meeting on Wednesday, January 8, 2020 at 7:00 p.m. in Room 2001 of the Washington County Administration Building, 100 West Washington Street, Hagerstown, Maryland. Members present included: Tom Clemens, Ann Aldrich, Edie Wallace, Gary Rohrer and Vernell Doyle.

Ms. Aldrich suggested additional documentation should be obtained as a record of the structure. Ms. Doyle suggested a floor plan should be obtained as part of the record. Ms. Wallace expressed her opinion that if a structure is going to be demolished, information should be provided, such as floor plans, photos, etc. to document the structure's history within the County. Mr. Rohrer suggested that verification of the repurposing of the logs be Motion and Vote: Ms. Wallace made a motion not to oppose the demolition, with a request that additional information providing more details of the structure (i.e. floor plan, photographs, deed records, etc.) be provided prior to demolition and verification that the logs have been salvaged and repurposed for another use be submitted to the HDC. The motion was seconded by Mr. Rohrer and unanimously approved. Demotion Permit— Review & Herald Publishing [2019-04949] A demolition permit was presented for review and recommendation for property located at 55 West Oak Ridge Drive. Present at the meeting was Mr. Anthony Bergevin, representing the developer, and Mr. Taylor Davis of Morgan -Keller, Inc., the general contractor. Mr. Davis distributed recent photographs of the structures (a house and a barn) located on the property. He noted that the developer has safety concerns with regards to the barn (citing structural issues) and employees (500+) that will have access to the site on a daily basis. Mr. Bergevin stated there are also concerns regarding liability issues due to mold, toxins, asbestos and injury from these structures. The former Review & Herald building will be repurposed for a light industrial use. The property is approximately 75 acres in size with an additional 20 acres that is currently a baseball field. Discussion and Comments: Mr. Rohrer asked if there are plans to re -use either of these structures. Mr. Bergevin stated there are no plans for re -use because of the deterioration of the structures and safety concerns. He noted the developer would be willing to make concessions for re -use and repurposing of any salvageable materials upon demolition of the structures. The developer would be willing to document the structures. Ms. Aldrich asked if any restoration specialists have visited the property and given estimates for rehabilitation. She also asked if the developer has checked into any grants or tax credits to have this work completed. Mr. Bergevin noted that restoration specialists have looked at the structures but the cost associated with restoration is more than the developer is able to manage at this time. The developer has not explored grants or tax credits available because the area where these structures are located is needed for development of the site. There was a brief discussion about subdividing the house and barn along with a small amount of acreage off of the parcel and rehabilitating them for re -use or selling it to someone interested in restoring these structures. Mr. Bergevin explained that operationally that would not fit in with the developer's plan. The developer would have no use for either structure. Subdividing the parcel would also create security and safety issues for the light industrial use that is proposed. Mr. Rohrer expressed his opinion that the structures could be rehabilitated but the developer feels they are simply in the way. Ms. Aldrich explained part of the history of the site and her belief that this is an integral part of the County's history. She expressed her concern that the County relies heavily on historic tourism and as historic structures are torn down, the County's economic structure is impacted She asked for the number of historic inventoried properties in the County and how many of the properties have been lost since the 1970s when the last inventory was completed. Ms. Baker stated that the Department of Planning & Zoning has this information and she would provide it at the next meeting. Mr. Bergevin stated that the developer will be providing more than 500 jobs to the County and the revenue from that employment will be significant. He explained that operationally, these structures do not fit into the developer's plan because other requirements that must be met such as reforestation and storm water management. Because the site offers a few unique constraints, these requirements will take away valuable space needed for the development. There was a brief discussion regarding the afforestation requirements for the site. Off -site retention as well as several other options would be an additional cost to the developer. At this time, the developer is proposing to retain existing forest on site to meet afforestation requirements. Ms. Aldrich asked if the 20 acres where the baseball field is located is included in the plan. Mr. Bergevin stated that the 20 acres are included in the plan; however, the developer is not sure if the field will be removed. Ms. Doyle asked if the manmade pond would be retained. Mr. Bergevin stated that the pond currently has a leak and will be graded over for parking. Ms. Aldrich asked if the developer has considered a parking structure. The developer stated that the cost of parking structures is significantly higher than a parking lot and is not feasibleat this time. Ms. Doyle asked if off -site parking has been considered. Mr. Bergevin stated that it has been considered and several sites were examined, but the options have not come to fruition. Ms. Baker explained that due to the nature of the proposed industrial use, storm water management requirements are more significant than most other plans. She stated that several of the Commission's concerns were previously discussed with the developer; however, there are time constraints to be met. Motion and Vote: Mr. Rohrer made a motion to recommend against the demolition of these two structures. The motion was seconded by Ms. Aldrich and unanimously approved. Ms. Baker stated that the Commission's opposition will be duly noted and presented to the Planning Commission for their recommendation in February. Addition/Renovation Permit (Informal Review) Ms. Baker introduced Mr. Muse from Muse Architects who is representing Laura Apelbaum, the property owner. Mr. Muse is seeking comments and recommendations from the Commission with regards to plans to renovate and expand an existing house at 24812 Linden Avenue located within the Pen Mar Historic Rural Village. Mr. Muse presented several renderings of the proposed renovations to the house which was built around 1900. He gave a brief history of the structure, which has been in Ms. Apelbaum's family for three generations. An addition is proposed for a bedroom on the first floor, all original windows will be kept with storm windows added and hardy plank will be used on the exterior. Comments: Commission members commended Mr. Muse for the complete and thorough information he presented. Members were also impressed with the architect's efforts to maintain the character of the structure. Motion and Vote: Ms. Aldrich made a motion to grant staff the upon the plans being the same as presented this evening. The unanimously approved.

Ms. Baker noted there is an Historic staff is trying to tie to economic development, land preservation and There was a brief discussion about the delay in the issuance of a new permit if an historic structure is demolished. Commission members believe that there should be a delay in the issuance of a permit if a historic structure is demolished and to put a new structure in its place. This should not apply to renovations on a second structure on the same property after the historic structure is removed. There was also a brief discussion regarding the posting of signs on the property of a structure that is proposed for demolition. This would alert the public that the structure is being proposed for demolition. Ms. Baker stated she would talk to the County Attorney about this issue. Ms. Aldrich asked about advertising the HDC meetings. Ms. Baker stated these meetings are posted on the County's website but she will discuss other ways to publicize the meetings with the County's Public Relations office. Commission members expressed their frustrations and beliefs that their recommendations are not being taken seriously by the Planning Commission or the Board of County Commissioners. Ms. Baker stated she will share these concerns with both groups.

The two-story house has a one story porch with a small pediment over the entrance with an incised floral design. These decorative features are not common in this section of Washington County, perhaps due to the rather austere influence of Mennonite settlers.

I have a deep love for preserving historic structures in Washington County. I've restored two properties: 1) 837 Concord St, Hagerstown MD. This property I was in love with since a child. It remained in the same family since built in 1890. It was built by Calvin Middlekauff. It was the first house on Concord Street in Hagerstown. The house had fallen in despair and would have been torn down by most. There was no central heating system, 30 amp electric service. The only update was the installation of a bathroom in 1935. Outside the porches were rotten and falling down, eaves rotten and pigeons in the attic. Lots of water damage from the leaking roof. I was able to buy the property in June of 1989. I completely brought the house back to life. New electric, central heating, new plumbing, all while keeping all the naturally grained woodwork, fireplaces, wood flooring and original character. Outside porches were repaired and replaced where needed. With the help of friends and family, we working on it for 4 months (day and night). Finally able to move in end of October 1989. I was awarded an interior restoration award by the Historic Preservation Council of Hagerstown. I was also on the Women's Club Home and Garden tour. I sold the home in 1999 and moved on to yet another project. 2) 17719 Mason Dixon Rd, Hagerstown MD. I purchased this property in the fall of 1997. This house was twice the size of Concord street. It had been turned into apartments. Some of the windows had been covered over as well as the beautiful heart pine floors. The back staircase had been closed in as well. I was able to start work in December of 1997. It took us (friends and family, some contractors) 2 years to get the inside move in ready and as back to original as possible. The back staircase was reopened and missing steps replaced. The windows covered over were reopened. Walls were removed to make it 1 house again.The first floor kitchen floor was torn up to reveal the original heart pine boards. This was a major undertaking - after removing the sub floor the original floor was covered with tar and tar paper. It took several weekends of scraping to get as much off as possible. After repairing holes I was able to get the floor sanded. The upstairs bathroom was gutted and claw foot tub and pedestal sink added. Since the house had been made into apartments with the addition of an upstairs kitchen - we kept the 1 kitchen. All floors were sanded and polyurethaned. New wallpaper and woodwork repainted. Repair work done as need on ceilings and walls. This house is a work in progress. I was able to get the front porch covered in brick. Also had the outside bricks re -pointed. There is a brick outhouse and I had a new roof installed and it had been re -pointed as well. Next project is to repaint the shutters and reinstall them. As for some history on this property, it was built in 1860 by Perry McLaughlin. He moved into this home in 1861 (according to his son). The house was known as "Linden Hall Mason Dixon". This area was know as Mason Dixon Pa. It boast a post office, mill, store, train station (Cumberland Valley RR). Perry's home can be found in the history of Washington County during the Civil War. There is mention of his sons taking the animals to Carlisle Pa for protection from the south - and returning after the burning of Chambersburg. Also a mention of 5,000 soldiers encamping around the house and the McLaughlin's inviting an officer to have supper with them and thus he provided a guard so they could get a peaceful nights sleep. The original McLaughlin farm is just behind the house. It now belongs to the Fulton family. The original family home (Perry's father) was just up the street and it was on the National Register. The McLaughlin's settled there in 1820. After the property was acquired by the Fulton family they tore the house down. This only thing remaining is the barn. After Perry's father died his mother transferred the land for Linden Hall to Perry in 1859. I've attached several photos of Mason Dixon. Pictures of the front before re -pointing, during, and after. The restoration of the brick outhouse. New sidewalks and porch updates. If you would like additional photos please let me know as I have reached my limit on this emailing.

(which Yes may be day or evening) Antietam Battlefield Adv. Committee Airport Advisory Commission Black Rock Golf Course Emergency Services Advisory Council Additional Comments: I have lived in Smithsburg since 2005 and have never held any community service positions. I have now resided in Washington County long enough to have a feel for the local problems and situations and think I could make a contribution. The county boards and commissions seem like a great place to start. This application is a resubmission of my earlier application at the request of Krista Hart, who wished me to amend one board interest to the Historic District Commission from the Historical Advisory Committee. My other board requests remain unchanged.
