3) Request to have home de -designated.

Although this item did not appear on the original agenda, the Board, by consensus, chose to hear the
request. The homeowner, Mr. MacDonnell, was present and spoke on his own behalf. Mr. MacDonnell
outlined the problem he has been having in obtaining affordable homeowner's insurance due to the
designation. He indicated that due to extraordinary family medical issues and the associated costs,
paying for homeowner's insurance represents a hardship. He further stated that finding an insurance
company that will even consider insuring the home has been difficult, with three companies refusing to
issue a quote. Board Members discussed their views on the request, including the lack of any set
procedures or policies to govern a request for de -designation and spoke of a precedent being set and
future implications. Following these discussions, Mr. Tenney moved to table the item until further
information can be obtained. Mr. Davis seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous in favor.
4) Discussion regarding plans for the historic home tour.
Board Members reviewed and finalized the plans for the upcoming house tour. Mr. Tenney indicated
that he and his wife would host the refreshments following the tour. Members of the Board accepted
