Consideration of'and action on the following Certificate of Appropriateness: A. 7 East Plaza — Randy Radar — Cheri Bedford, Main Street Manager represented the petition. Ms. Bedford stated that Randy Radar does not like the way the previously approved windows look. Mr. Radar went to Taylor glass with the specifications and they came up with a window that would fit the opening better. The window will be a non - operable vinyl window with a mullion placed on the window which will be custom made for the opening. Motion was made by Nancy Anderson, seconded by Matt Coyle to approve the motion. Paul Denney stated he prefers the window that was previously approved to the solid non offset window. Ben Vaughan stated he prefers to see a wood window that would be similar to the original historical windows of the era to a solid non - operable window. Jeanna Scott asked why this window is not approvable. Paul Denney stated it is not a true offset window it is of one plane and when you step back it wouldn't look like what was once there. Matt Coyle asked is there any ideas on how to even out the windows in there now. We don't want to be cost prohibited for windows made for this building; we don't want to put the brakes on this project,
