Review of LAH historic sites/buildings: Carol Crites & Carol Gottlieb ‐ conversation on history of
Appendix A. Mary Ann Malcolm was involved at inception and said Alex Russell, who worked for LAH,
influenced the document. Discussed how to improve Appendix A for the town benefit and how to
communicate to the town council. Discussed the criteria that should be used as a reference to defining
historical significance. Jitze brought up history of 13651 Burke Road in 2014 as an example to the kind
of cost associated with a historical study. Overall committee goal is to have a historical significance list,
which is different from the Mills Act or other federal or state programs, but not clear as to the goal.

notifying homeowners if their property is potentially significant as well as continue to update Appendix A
