B. 574 Church Street - Kelly and Melissa Wickersham. Melissa
Wickersham wants to replace wood balcony rail and column with
wrought iron. The bottom columns were set too far back. Mr. Starrett
advised Ms. Wickersham that all residences in the Church /South Main
Historic District use SOI standards for rehabilitation. Mr. Starrett stated
that the Board is hard - pressed to consider the application for a
certificate of appropriateness because the alterations are not minor and
not ordinary maintenance. The proposed application would be
changing the architectural style of the building; therefore, the
application could not be honored. However, Mr. Starrett stated that he
would be glad to look at other proposals if the other Board members
feel the same as he does. With the proposed changes, six standards
are violated. Motion was made to deny the COA by Jerry Raper,
seconded by Barbara Wilson. Motion carried 6 -1.
Arvin Starrett advised Ms. Wickersham that she could appeal to the City
Council or come back before the Historic Commission with a different
plan. Ms. Wickersham was advised that Paul Denney could offer
suggestions on structural materials.
