3. Discussion and Possible Action of the following Certificates of Appropriateness
a. 10 1" ST NE -101 Lamar Ave; Mr Cook was present to represent the Certificate of
Appropriateness. He is replacing missing or damaged pieces of his front facade with in
kind materials, and repointing the brick to prevent water damage. He is also doing some
touch up painting. A motion was made by Commissioner Emmite and seconded by
Commissioner Caffey to grant a certificate of appropriateness for repair. Motion carried.
b. 27 Clarksville St: Ms. Gilliam presented the application. The project consists of removal
of the diamond shaped doorway on the front fagade, placing film on the transom
windows to create a uniform shape and reopening up a rear entrance. The commission
discussed the placement of the entry doors and ADA accessibility, symmetry with the
property and cost effectiveness. The transom windows to the far left were discussed, and
the owners plan on making external mulls to create a uniform look. The clear glass will
be covered with a film. A motion by Commissioner Long was made to grant a Certificate
of Appropriateness for the removal of the diamond aluminum entrance and replace them
with the fiberglass double doors, with the condition the property owner would research a
carpenter who could make wood doors that match the height of the kick plate on the
doors with the bulkhead of the storefront. If economically feasible would utilize the new
wooden doors, and add mullions to the left side windows to match the profile of the rest
of the transom windows, seconded by Commissioner Coyle, motion carried.
c. 111 Lamar Ave.: Josiah Daniel represented the Certificate of Appropriateness. The
applicant built a counter top bar for outdoor seating. Initially the bar was added to the
support columns that it read in a way it could be considered part of the facade, in which
case the bar would not meet the design standards. Advice was sought from the Texas
Historic Commission for guidance to meet the desire of the property owner for a outdoor
seating counter. Recommendations were made to make a cut a reveal in the front of the
bar closest to the support walls to give the look that this is actually an addition of
furniture. Commissioner Coyle made a motion to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness
for the outdoor seating bar with 2 — 4 inch reveals cut in the front portion where it
attaches to the support columns. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Long.
Motion carried.
4. Discussion and Possible action on the following fagade grant:
