Ladies and Gentlemen ,
I have been following the events unfolding at City Hall concerning the propose d
ordinance about creating fines for property owners of historic buildings who do no t
maintain the appearance of their structure up to someone elses standards . I strongl y
believe that appearance standards should be voluntary, and the imposition of a fin e
crosses the line into private property rights . Will the City next demand that owner s
sitting on their front porch wear period clothing to match the structures building date ?
I have phoned your President to find if the History Center was taking a position on thi s
matter, and I was very rudely told to get lost . It was the most unpleasant conversation I
have ever had with a person, and I don't think this man is deserving to be President o f
anything . I also called Mr . Dan Carpenter, a member of a family I have known fo r
several generations . His father and grandfather were wonderful people . I have found that
he was chairman of the C .H .C ., one of the voters in favor of this ordinance, and furthe r
gave it his blessing recently before the City Council .
I do not wish to belong to an c rganization that sits idly by and in fact whose officials
condone such socialistic mandates as this proposed ordinance contains . It is a slap in th e
face against those of us who have chosen to buy or build historic structures .
Effective with this letter, please accept my resignation as a life member of the History
Center . My life membership card from 1982 is herewith returned .
