J. 255 1st Street S.W. - WB Millwork, by Suzy Harper - Suzy Harper, 545 Johns Woods Drive, advised the Commission that she planned to repaint the building a color similar to the red brick on the building next to it. She stated that she wanted to remove this building as a precedent for allowing masonry to be painted in a non - masonry color. Motion was made to approve the COA by Pike Burkhart, seconded by Susan Scholz. Motion carried 7 -0. K 210 1st Street S.E. - Jeff and Katie Neilson - Katie Neilson, 3745 Woodland, stated that they are wanting to turn attention away from that side of the building. They are proposing to place plain faced painted metal doors, the same color as the trim on the windows, on the north and west side of the building to keep it simple. One the east side, they would like more attractive doors. The one existing east side door and the new double doors will be paneled and stained. The garage door will resemble the double doors in style and color. Ms. Neilson presented the proposed hardware. Mrs. Neilson presented a photo of proposed lighting fixtures and said that they will be placed on either side of the entry doors, either side of garage doors, either side of the patio doors, and one on the west side by the door. The Commission was of the consensus that the light fixtures are stylized craftsman and not historic. The original presentation was original craftsman style and is more appropriate. Mrs. Neilson also proposed a patio and fence. At this point, they are not sure whether they want a 6' wood fence or and 8' fence with a brick base. Chairman Starrett said the proposed material, Trex, is not disallowed because it looks like wood; however, he stated that he is reluctant to grant the fence if they are unsure about using brick. Paul Denney said brick underpinning will help with security. Motion was made by Brian Wear, seconded by Susan Scholz, to approve the COA, excluding the fence and with the condition that the light fixtures be those that were previously approved. Motion carried 7 -0. L. 926 Church Street - James McClesky - Ms. Wright advised the Commission that Mr. McClesky is converting an open carport to an enclosed garage to match the same style as the rest of the exterior. Motion was made to approve the COA by Paul Denney, seconded by Susan Scholz. Motion carried 7 -0. 4. Consideration of and action on awarding the following facade grants: A. Southwest corner of W. Kaufman and 2nd Street S. W. (Old Liberty Bank Drive - Through) - Richard Hunt- Motion was made to approve the grant by Brian Wear, seconded by Susan Scholz. Motion carried 7 -0.
