Consideration of and action on the following Certificate of Appropriateness: <br />A. 207, 227, and 241 Church Street - First Baptist Church by David C. <br />Denney, Archifect- David Denney, DenneyArchitects, stated this is the <br />first phase of the remodeling efforts by the Church. There are four <br />separate buildings that range in age from 1918 to 1970 with distinctly <br />different architectural styles. The Church is trying to do something to <br />integrate the styles. Theywant to elaborate on the open arcade and will <br />tie the buildings together with an atrium space which will be the new <br />main entrance to the church. Mr. Denney further stated they didn't want <br />to introduce another architectural style, so they're trying to stay neutral <br />with a glazed facade, and plaster will be used that matches what is <br />currently there. They won't be able to match the brick when the <br />building is extended up, so they are considered plastering the brick <br />which would make the whole thing plaster. If they could paint inset <br />panels, they could save money. Mr. Denney stated on the east side of <br />the building they will build a kiosk over the entryway between buildings <br />and this will de-emphasize the entrance. There will be a rail along the <br />entire length of handicap ramp. Motion was made by Ann Rogers, <br />seconded by Susan Scholz, to approve the COA for front and rear only, <br />not to include the sign. Motion carried 6-0. <br />
