Dr. Morrill briefly reviewed the issues to be discussed on the meeting tonight.

3. Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Sidney and Ethel Grier House, 4701 McKee Road, Charlotte, N. C.

Mr. Murdock presented proposed design schemes. Committee members discussed the proposed designs.

MR. BOOKOUT PRESENTED A MOTION SECONDED BY MR. WALDEN TO RECOMMEND TO THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION THAT A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS BE APPROVED FOR THE GRIER HOUSE, 4701 McKEE ROAD, CHARLOTTE, N. C., AS PRESENTED SUBJECT TO FURTHER REVIEW OF THE DESIGN OF THE REAR DORMER BY THE HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION AT ITS JUNE 9TH MEETING. THE COMMITTEE UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED THE MOTION.

4. Application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for the Grier-Rea House, 6701 Providence Road, Charlotte, N. C.

Mr. Yelverton presented proposed design plans. The Committee members discussed the plans and asked questions. Mr. Yelverton said that Mr. Paul Fomberg, restoration specialist from the N. C. Division of Archives and History, cannot come to see the house until June 16th or 17th. Dr. Morrill said that the Design Review Committee should withhold a motion regarding the restoration until approval of the proposed design is obtained from the N. C. Division of Archives and History until Archives and History has certified the plans.

Dr. Morrill reported that results from preliminary meetings held to review plans for the W. T. Alexander property are on hold due to the fact that the potential buyer is not willing at this point to pay the price that the HLC has invested in the property. Negotiations continue, and Dr. Morrill will keep the Committee posted on developments.

There was no new business.

The meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
