UPCOMING EVENTS:
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
My favorite thing about St. Anne's Hill is getting involved!
We are never short of things to do--from Socials,
Porch/Patio & Deck Parties, Garden & Alley Clean ups and
Brew Pub Activities...there is always something going on in
St. Anne's Hill. Getting involved and staying connected is
what sets St. Anne's apart from your typical neighborhood.
We know one another, help each other and enjoy the
company of our neighbors and friends.
If you are new to St. Anne's, be sure to come to one of our
social activities (there is at least one per month). Join us at
our General Membership Meeting the first Tuesday of every
month at the Liederkrantz-Turner on the corner of Fifth and
High. At the meetings you can meet many neighbors and
hear the latest of what is going on in your community. Join
the St. Anne's Hill Historic Society (first year is free to new
neighbors) and get involved!
As we protect our past, we continue to move forward into
the 21st Century. If you haven't visited our website recently,
please check out www.stanneshill.org . Our neighbor and
Board Member, Eric Aielli, did an amazing job on the site.
Thanks to all our neighbors for continuing to make St.
Anne's Hill a great place to call home!

NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING MINUTES (4.2.13)
I. Call to Order: 7:04pm
II. Introductions
III. Guest Speaker: Landmarks Commission: Fred Holley & Roan Smothers
Explained need of Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) for changes to exterior of house since this is a Historic District.
Introduced door hangers to be put on every property in Neighborhood to promote awareness. Book: Blue Print for Rehabilitation –
available from Commission for free. Is what guides Commission’ decisions. Brochure: Detached garage rules. If meet, do not
have to go through Commission. Brochure: Architects on contracts, free of charge, for drawing for major modifications to a house
to present to Commission. Question on satellite dishes: Where is appropriate placement? Back is preferred. Side near back of
house is secondary location. Attempt to minimize visibility from street. Question on interior: Landmarks does not control interior
changes. Question on projects that are nearly complete but not approved: Appeal to Commission to have them make decision.
Owner will have to go before Commission to state their case. Inspector or neighbors need before pictures as evidence of
work/change. Gave description of appropriate window replacement. Described Commission’s member’s backgrounds.
Commission does not have enforcement authority. Need to contact housing inspector, Mike Weincoft for a stop order. Hardy
Planks/Cement Board acceptable for house exteriors? As long as it is replacing the current boards and not being placed on top of
the current boards. Has to match original wood and reveal. Unsure about a material being appropriate? Take sample to
Commission. Paint color restricted? They try not to reject many colors since it can be changed. Roane suggested going to a paint
store and asking for a palette of historic colors that will match. Discussed merit of enforcing historic colors on houses.
IV. President’s Report:
Emailing with Aaron Sorrel about 4th Street Church. Maybe able to have it demolished and have some materials saved. City
would have to put it in tax foreclosure, i.e. they would own it, before they could give materials to the neighborhood. 71 McClure –
concern about property. John will follow up on the house. Ruth found that REAP program is being changed. Now requiring
$2000 deposit before they will start the process.
