Introductions Mr. Jay Meisel a writer from the Hometown News was welcomed to the meeting. He asked the Historical Con mission board members questions regarding the condition of the Robinson House, themdesires to preserve it and how realistic is to do so. He also wanted to know the operating authority of the Historical Commission; more specifically, the Commission's rights and responsibilities to Historic Sites. A Discussion ensued from Mr. Meisel's questions about the possibility of expanding the White City Historic District out to Midway Rd to encompass the Robinson House as a means of preserving the property as an historic site if the house is unable to be saved. At the next meeting the Historical Commission will look at the Historic Survey and a map of White City to see if the expansion would be in perpetuity with the historical character of White City and if expansion of the District is plausible. 2011-07-19 Historical Commission Meeting Draft MinsPage 1 of 2 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 3.

We should discuss this with the group at our next meeting.

(we could ask the Historical Society if they would like to be involved). By the response from the homeowner, he would be willing to go along with whateveer we would propose. Charlie From: Heather Smith [mailto:smithh@stlucieco.org] Sent: Tue 9/20/2011 10:05 AM To: Kara Wood; Charlie; James Moses Subject: IZE: fireplace Hello all, I would want something more specific from the homeowner as to what he will allow to be done, when and how often, but this is a great start. Do we know what needs to be done out there? Does the Historical Commission want to do the work themselves or do you want to pass this information on to another group (perhaps the Historical Society who apparently did the original maintenance)?

Before anyone moves ahead with an organization effort, let's consult with Heather about any other procedures we may need to follow before entering the property. Perhaps Mr. Stanley's written consent is sufficient but I want to be sure.

If you so desire, we can get some volunteers to clean around the area. I would be glad to help. Charlie Hayek -----Original Message----- From: Jeff Stanley [mailto:jeffa~ilmanvachts.coml Sent: Thursday, September O1, 2011 11:24 AM To: Charlie Cc: MMaloney@eagle.org Subject: FW: Charles, I am in receipt of your letter. Thank you. I am well aware of the fireplace and am very glad to have it on my property. The house is currently rented until such time I retire and renovate or rebuild on the property. The timeline for my retirement has been pushed back indefinitely due to our difficult economic times. I have not been on the properly for a couple of years. I have maintained the same lawn property service that the previous owners used for many years so I can only imagine the fireplace is being cared for as it was in the past. Just before I brought the property your Historical Society had spent some time with a dig and some maintenance of the area. You are welcome to do so again until such time I move on the property and will take over. To give you an idea of how I take care of things, there is a photo above of the fire hydrant on my property...freshly painted and manicured by me. When I move up there I will take similar care of the fireplace! In case you need to reach her, I have copied Sharron Briggs who manages the property for me. Sincerely, Jeffrey W.
