window area. Moved to item 3B, while Alex Pickering measured window area.
A 1351St Street S.E. — Richard Hunt, contractor, presented the petition. Mr. Hunt stated
proposing to remodel the fagade of the City Attorney's office. Originally they wanted to
repaint the brick. However, after learning this is not appropriate for the Historic District,
they will come back on the brick. At this time Mr. Hunt is proposing to remove the brick
planter out front, remove existing metal and glass store front and rebuild to match the store
fronts directly to the north of the building. The recessed store front will have a false front
door and the transom windows will be replaced with metal blanker panels to match the store
fronts to the north of the building. Mr. Hunt further stated they will remove and repair the
flashing. Ben Vaughan stated you cannot replace the transom window with metal x panels.
You will need to use concrete board and finish it out to look like a window. Mr. Hunt stated
that would not be a problem. Motion was made Ben Vaughan, seconded by Jerry Raper to
approve the COA with the falling exception, the transom windows be trimmed out to
resemble a window. Motion carried 5 -0.
