A special meeting of the Tulsa Preservation Commission has been called for Wednesday, March 14, 2007 from 3:00 to 5:00 P.M.

The purpose of this meeting is to hear and discuss an American Planning Association audioconference entitled "Maintaining Neighborhood Character."  During the conference, we will listen to a discussion via the telephone and view the PowerPoint using an online portal. There will be a question and answer period, and time for discussion.  Planners can get continuing education credits.

TMAPC is hosting.  TPC, Board of Adjustment, Tulsa Metropolitan Area Planning Commission, City Coucil, INCOG and the general public are invited to attend.  Chip Ard, TMAPC chair, will moderate.  Seating is limited.

Please try to attend if your schedule allows, as there should be a lot of useful information on a very hot topic.  Please pass the announcement on to those you think might be interested.

American Planning Association Audio Conference:  Maintaining Neighborhood Character

From the American Planning Association:  
"Many historic neighborhoods are experiencing rapid teardowns and the rebuilding of monster homes or other buildings that undermine smart growth principles. For historic and conservation districts this is a pressing issue. Learn how communities have developed codes and guidelines, as well as community visioning programs, that respond to these incompatible developments. As communities grow and change, explore how historic preservation can be successfully linked to new development. Cosponsor: National Alliance of Preservation Commissions."
