ADDENDUM

During discussion of this request with the Planning Commission
and Preservation Committee, it was noted that the Central Area
Plan envisioned extending Hopkins Road in-this area. The Commis-
sion and Committee recommended a condition be imposed on this
request, if approved by the Soard, to assure that historic desig-
nation of this property did not preclude this future road project
and that the road project was designed to be as compatible as
practical with this historic community. Staff recommends that
the condition on page 2 of the "Request Analysis and Recommenda-
tion" be replaced with the following condition to more clearly
address this matter:
CONDITION
This designation shall not apply to any property required
for the planned relocation of Hopkins Road or the planned
widening of Centralia Road.
