Use Board of Appeals, a costly and
time-consuming process.
Currently all exterior work on
structures in historic districts beyond
routine maintenance is subject to a
Type II procedure, which takes six to
eight weeks, costs a minimum of $900
and allows an appeal to the Portland
Historic Landmarks Commission that
involves more time and expense. Type
I takes no more than three weeks, and
the proposed fee is $500 or less.

Sunday Parkways scheduled
for September 29 in
Southwest
Sunday Parkways will be back next
year, including one that will take in
Southwest Portland on September
29, Linda Ginenthal of the Portland
Bureau of Transportation told the Post.
This can be done despite the severe
budget cuts all bureaus are going
through, she said, because part of the
appropriation for the event is contained
in the adopted 2012-2013 budget.
During Sunday Parkways, a roughly
circular route, usually on local streets,
is shut off to auto traffic for five hours,
allowing bicyclists and pedestrians to
tour the area in a relaxed way. There
are special activities in parks along the
route, and vendors of all sorts lining
the way.
Last year, for the first time, there
was a Sunday Parkways event that
included parts of Southwest. Without
providing specifics, Ginenthal said the
southwest route will be altered this
year and will be shorter for bicyclists.

Council adopts historic
review changes
In late February the Portland City
Council adopted a series of changes
to the procedure for exterior work
on historic landmarks or buildings in
national historic districts.
The changes, in response to criti-
cisms of the process by both propo-
nents and opponents of such districts,
are designed to make the reviews
easier, shorter and cheaper.
As part of the process, the Bureau
of Planning and Sustainability called
for exempting some things from re-
view, such as handicapped ramps, fire
escapes, storm windows, and minor
changes on parts of the structure that
are not visible from the street.
Other matters, including changes
that cover a total of less than 150 square
feet, and restoration work that makes
an historic structure more like it origi-
nally was, will be subject to a Type I
review process.
In this case, a city planner will make
a decision on the appropriateness of
the change, and his/her word is final;
the only avenue open to someone who
disagrees is an appeal to the state Land
