Dear Dan:

My letter attached responds to a March 25 letter I received from Stewart gray advising that on February 11, 2002, the HLC met and voted to recommend to the Charlotte City Council that Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery be designated as a Historic Landmark.  Mr. Gray states, "if we receive no response, the HLC will assume that you support the designation of this property."

In a letter from City Engineer Jim Schumacher dated January 7, 2002, we advised the Commission staff that the City could not support designation of Elmwood and Pinewood Cemeteries as a Historic Landmark at this time, but would be in a position to review this matter later in the year.  Our letter also formally requested that the HLC defer further discussion of this designation until mid-summer 2002.

Dan, I don't understand why we received the March 25 letter since we had advised the HLC on January 7 of our desire to defer this designation.  I would appreciate hearing back from you that the HLC will defer further discussion per our earlier request.

 

Sincerely,

 

Pamala A. Syfert, City Manager
