Only in th event of a <br />change in color or materials does it come across to the co mission to <br />help in that decision. If it involves less than 25% of the vis al area of <br />the house then it can still be issued from City Hall ithout the <br />commission making the decision. In one instance, there w re certain <br />colors that were approved but the commission let the prop rty owner <br />know that they did not think that it was the most appropr ate for the <br />building that they were about to paint. They got their ap roval and <br />went and painted it their colors.
