Aear Sire and Madam:
I have Mt4wed a copy of the proposal to relocate the George Cain house to the -Sebastian airport
proPerty scheduled for the city CnunciTr. April Fd'a' agenda. Unfarmnateiy, some of the
ccmmnents laid a tnptivns made in this Proposal ragmrtling the hawse and grants we not cant'e L
Tltevkre, ; wouId Nke to pravidL- Ahe NjmWng vjmj fnwkns.
First, I am not the historic preservation comitant for the City of Sebastian. I have no scope of work or
signed contract with the Ca'ly. I was not hifor'med by Ms. Firth that f was to be part of her proposal and f
have moon no OnelnTmisslen to ucse my W me fat aMy proposal.
Second, and most important to me„ I would not advocate the relocation of tete George Cain house fi'om its
present general location to A&stria,UcoMMe=ial zoning ofany airport.. The historic significance of a
Property is hied almost alwttps to its histone ca►mit-A. The historic comivAt of this hammt tenteracati the

To date„ the fifty of Sebastian and its OWThave demonstrated a remarkable understanding of historic
pre rvation m creating an overlay plan, two successful Hationai register districts, and a pendfng historic
preservation ordinzmce. Mocatinghistmichames"of these aaVU VAIl only ditutelheintogrity of tht

As liar as gent opport Wines go, there etre dwens and dozens of finding scurcfs out there, but i canna
name you one hfstorfc preservation grant that would allow their funding to go to the relocation vfa Historic
property to an area -whereikshistu is signAamcewould be de=ttraymL XJndaubtedly, tam discassian on

and assumptions made. I do not wain dais Cound and W. Moore to think that r, in any way, would 6e
party to ar endor� this prapw4al as presw*ed.
