A. 114 S. Main Street - Geniveve Solomon by Matthew Coyle, Designated
Agent. Mr. Coyle proposed putting windows back into the bricked up
section above the door using windows similar to those recently
approved for the Kaufman Mall. Mr. Coyle said he did not mind if they
didn't match the existing non - conforming windows.

item back to the Historic Preservation Officer to meet with Mr. Coyle to
approve windows with adequate mullions. Motion carried 6 -0.
Becki Norment joined the meeting.
B. 208 S. Main Street - Pat Crabtree. Mr. Crabtree stated that he
understood that the Commission wants glass to wrap back around the
corner of the building, but he stated that interior windows frames show
that this type of wrapped window was not original to the building. He
recommended replacing the garage doors with permanent installations
that mimic the look of the doors. He also recommended placing
divided panes in north windows. Motion was made by Paul Denney,
seconded by Sue Lancaster, to approve as presented with the following
exceptions: (1) the northeast fenestration be three divided lites using
two vertical mullions on each of the east and north windows; (2) that
the wrought iron fencing be either black or Gulf Blue with no
ornamentation; and (3) that the fence brick be painted white. Motion
carried 7 -0.

Historic Overlay District No. 14 (HD -14) on Lots 2 and 3, City Block 36, being
number 546 Pine Bluff. Lisa Wright advised the Commission that the property
owner lived out of town and could not attend; however, she requested the
establishment of the Historic Overlay District with knowledge of what
requirements came with the designation. Ann Rogers asked if more than just
this lot was included, that the Chairman advised it was not.
5. Consideration of and action on recommending to the Planning and Zoning
Commission approval of the petition of Donna L. Moore to establish an
Historic Overlay District No. 14 (HD -14) on Lots 2 and 3, City Block 36, being

6. Discussion ofand possible action on conditions of downtown canopies. Lisa
Wright presented several photographs of downtown canopies, and asked the
Commission if they would consider designating the balance of the facade
grantfunds to replace, repair, or repaint downtown canopies since the impact
could potentially be considerable. She noted that there were some far worse
off than others, and asked the Commission if they wanted to pinpoint specific
canopies or make the funds available to any who apply. Paul Denny
recommended we attempt to reach those canopies that were the most
pressing, such as the Lawrence Hotel (where the Pet Shop is). Beck! Norment
stated that saving the canopies is important to downtown ambiance. Motion
was made by Beck! Norment, seconded by Sue Lancaster, to approve eight (8)
$500.00 grants for canopy restorations. The Commission requested that a
letter be sent to all downtown property owners and allow a 90 day period to
submit applications, with a 30 day deadline to commence work after award
and 90 days to completion. Motion carried 7 -0.
