So, Eric, before we do this... Yes, thank you, Brian.
We had a meeting, our third meeting, community meeting last week on the 30th. Updating the community on both the National Register nomination and talking a little bit about the overlay district, the process, what it will entail so that they have a better understanding of that. So we have been working to extend the approved district boundaries because the community asked for a larger area to be included in the nomination. We initially went to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources with this to discuss expanding the nomination to include more of Leopold Preserve, which has impact archeological sites that we know of. To get that approval, we had to go back to the original preliminary information form, which is the process that established the boundaries.
We had to revise that. It had to go through state approval. It had to be heard by the state review board. All of that was finally done in In September, their September meeting, they approved the new, the expanded boundaries.
What agenda items were approved at the start of the meeting?
So we can go forward and write the nomination now. So what does that mean for the ARB? The ARB, one of your duties is to review National Register nominations. So when that document comes in and we're thinking the schedule now, which is the revised schedule since it took longer than anticipated to get this additional area certified, probably around January, February, this will come to you to review. So you'll be seeing this nomination We're probably going to be reviewing at the same time we're going to be looking at because staff is going to be looking at it. Normally we would look at it first and have them address our comments and then give it to you, but since the timeline has been so delayed, we're trying to expedite things as much as we can.
be reviewing it with you. I mean, you'll do your review separately. I mean, we'll look at it too. And then we'll just send one back, a bunch of comments back to the consultant's up-tail to address. Will you, just the process, will you send us a Yeah, I mean, however you want to do that, we can do it that way. I don't have a preference, so whenever it works for you all, I'm happy to accommodate. So I'm thinking maybe if we each had a chance to review and like make our comments. And then we could, like, at one of our meetings, we could go through and each sort of talk about what comments we had. Yeah, that would be a good idea. And then we're all done at the conclusion of that meeting. You have it all for lunch.
Okay. You don't want to have a four-hour meeting? I can't think of a meeting. None of that stuff that's like that, you know, that specific. It's hard to really give it 100% when you're in a creative environment.
