Two Certificates of Appropriateness Applications were reviewed.
833 S. Church: Randy Hider recently purchased the property and plans on rehabilitating
it. He proposed to replace mismatched underpinning with wooden lap underpinning. He
proposed to build wooden steps on the front of the house. He also proposed addition of a
dormer to the front of the house to assist with the requirements for fire safety for the
remodeling of the second floor into bedrooms while the property is being reroofed. He

Chairman Dux, motion carried.
240 Bonham: Carl Harcrow recently purchase the property and wants to rehabilitate the
two facades. The original facades do not exist, and the front has been filled in with
wooden shingles, brick and aluminum doors. Mr Harcrow proposed to remove the infill
and replace it with the configuration of a base or kickplate, display portion of the door
and glass window and transom and canopy. He researched and could not find any historic
photos of the property. Mr. Harcrow presented his own hand drawn renderings. After
removing current infill he wants to reconstruct the new facade with a display, entry and
display configuration. Materials will be wooden. Upon investigation, he discovered the
historic transoms window were not intact, so he planned on recreating them.
Commissioner Dux recommended reviewing the design standards before building the
transom windows, and that the transom windows could add to the organization and
rhythm of the display windows if they were to align mullions with the lower floor
windows and doors. Mr. Harcrow agreed and then asked about the glass and windows
materials. Commissioner Dux recommended he contact HPO when he was ready to
purchase the glass as the design standards prohibit heavily tinted or reflective glass. Mr.
Harcrow will rebuild one large tie rod canopy as presented.
