A) DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING A REQUEST FROM MR. &
MRS. ORRIN MacDONELL TO DE -DESIGNATE THEIR HISTORICALLY
DESIGNATED HOME LOCATED AT 9760 N.E. 5m AVENUE ROAD.
Mr. and Mrs. MacDonell were present and spoke on their own behalf. They stated that due to the historic
designation of their home they cannot obtain competitively priced homeowner's insurance. Mr. and Mrs.
MacDonell provided information relating to their dilemma and indicated that it is a fmancial hardship for
them to have their home designated. Council Members empathized with the MacDonell's, stating the
probability that no one is happy with the cost of their property insurance. Council Members discussed
their concerns regarding the request and the possible consequences and future abuses that may occur
should the request to de -designate the home be approved. Subsequent to these discussions, Mr. Davis
moved to deny the request to de -designate the home. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Davis
then moved to approve the MacDonell's request. This motion also failed for lack of a second. No further
motion was offered and no further action taken.
