Please note that I’ve referred to the Local Historic Districts Act (MCL 399.201, et seq) as the LHDA, the Clarkston ordinance (152.01, et seq of the Clarkston Code of Ordinances) as the Clarkston Ordinance, and the HDC charter proposal as the Charter Proposal.
Discussion:
There is no reference to an HDC brochure in the LHDA or the Clarkston Ordinance. This section of the Charter Proposal would require removal of the existing brochure from the city’s website because it’s inconsistent with the Charter Proposal. Any new brochure would need to be consistent with the requirements of the Charter Proposal and approved by the city council.
Notes:
The current brochure, titled “Clarkston’s Historic District – What Does This Mean For Me?” was written as expansively as possible. While there is nothing wrong with having an explanatory brochure for residents and potential home buyers in the historic district, the current brochure would need to be modified to reflect the Charter Proposal requirements and approved by the city council.
