Zoning Issues:
• Nob Hill/Highlands Sector Development Plan: The EPC has deferred their hearing on the Text Amendment.
• 1502 Silver: Nathaniel Sims wrote an email to Elizabeth Doak saying that “They (Zoning) have already told me (Nate) that you (SHNA) don’t have a single legal leg to stand on…” Nate feels he is being attacked and asking SHNA to be more neighborly and not to continue to ask the City to enforce Zoning Code. SHNA has asked the City for a declaratory ruling and the Board has decided to await this ruling.
• 312-314 Mesa: Certificate of Appropriateness issued by Mary Hennessey for improvements to windows, steps, stucco, & more. Attachment 2

Contribution: Breaking Bad productions has contributed $100 to the SHNA
Lead/Coal Upgrade: Gordon will write a letter to the Huning Highlands Neighborhood Association saying SHNA supports the Lead/Coal Upgrade Extension from I-25 to Broadway.
Yale Tree Rescue Project: The City has set aside the money for the Yale Tree Rescue Project and retained Baker, Reardon, & Morrow Architects to lead the effort. The sprinkler system needs to be fixed and the dead trees will need to be replaced. Katy will call Liz Reardon about 8 trees on Silver and Gold that also need to be replaced. Katy has been working with the Parks Department since early last year and in November 2012 they promised new trees will be installed by the end of January 2013.
Luminaries: Craig Wallace and Robert Stembridge did a great job of spearheading this year’s effort. The luminaries were expanded along university and Yale to celebrate the work done in these areas. Unfortunately they were blown out by the vehicles at traveling at high speeds. There are 100 candles left and lots of bags. Several residents have saved their bags for reuse and some still have candles. This is always an expensive project costing about $500 and hopefully the remaining bags and candles this will make it less expensive next year. Craig Wallace will keep the bags and candles he has now and everyone that also has bags and candles left over will send Craig a note of what they are holding.
Meeting adjourned: 8:20 pm
