Subject: Discussion items for September 18, Joint HRAB-Council Dinner Meeting
Date: September 13, 2001
• Historic Element to Block 138
o Upon discussions with Bob Galante,he indicated that there could be a possibility of including
some sort of"historic" element to the development of Block 138. Some ideas that the Board has
come up with include:
• Bronze cast plaques of historic events or people in Lake Oswego, to be located along the
curved wall between the upper and lower level of the Millennium Park.
• A sculpture piece that represents a historic icon or theme from Lake Oswego's past.
• An informational kiosk with a changing exhibit of photos from the past. This could also
serve as a public informational center.
■ A set of bronze cast plaques that depict the history of Lake Oswego. These are to be
placed in random locations throughout Block 138.
■ Flag Display of US, Oregon and Lake Oswego flags with a plaque that talks about each
flag.
• Sell bricks for one of the main walkway areas. Proceeds to go towards HRAB projects.
• Time capsule
• Historic Markers (plaques)
o Commemorative bronze oval plaques mounted on homes that identify homes that are on the
City's Landmark Designation List. To start off,the Board is considering awarding these plaques
to some of the homes in the First Addition,then moving to other areas from there.
• Headgate
o The last discussion the Board had on this matter,they recommended that perhaps a better location
for the headgate would be the entrance to the Bryant Wood Park. This recommendation was
related in a memo from the Board to Rachel Fisher of Special Projects. There has not been any
activity since.
• Iron Smelter
o The Board would like to provide any services the project may need in regards to historic
preservation or context.
• Update the First Addition and Old Town Self-Walking Tour Brochures
o These brochures were created in 1995 and have not been updated since.
• Code Revision for Chapter 58, Historic Preservation
o The Board would like to review the code to ensure that the Code is still applicable to today's
applications,make it more user friendly,and consider amendments to the sections of the code that
deter people from listing their home on the City's Landmark Designation List.
