Alternate: Brian Wear
Also present was Lisa Wright, Historic Preservation Officer, and Bethany

2. Consideration of and action on the following Certificates of Appropriateness:
Paul Denney was recused from consideration of the next item by Sue
Lancaster, seconded by Becki Norment. Motion carried 4-0.
A. 124 N. Main Street. Paul K. Denney. Paul Denney, 2435 Clark Lane,
asked for a revision of his previous COA. During demolition, a center
mullion was found. Mr. Denney feels that it is original and would like
to preserve it. The COA is exactly like the one that was presented
before except for the proposed facade change. He asked for approval
on 2 different door styles - the 5 panel solid door and the glass door.
The 5 panel door is probably safer considering that the neighborhood
is not very inhabited. Both designs are very much appropriate to that
era of building. The subcontractor is concerned about the big panes,
their window load, and deflections. Mr. Denney is also concerned
about vandalism. A smaller pane is a lot less expensive to replace. He
is still planning on using green paint. This style of dividing is on
Hunter Moore's cornerstone building. Motion was made by Sue
Lancaster to approve the amended application based on physical
evidence uncovered during demolition, seconded by Becki Norment.
Motion carried 4-0.
Motion for Paul Denney to return to the meeting was made by Claudia
Hunt, seconded by Becki Norment. Motion carried 4-0.
Motion was made to recuse Becki Norment by Claudia Hunt, seconded
by Paul Denney. Motion carried 4-0.
B. 115 S. Main Street - Becki Norment. Becki Norment state that, like Paul
Denney said, you don't know what you are dealing with until you get it
torn out. She would like to keep the same design that was approved,
but wants to recess the front facade about 4', and the primary entrance
will recess a bit further. The proposal is similar to Dr. Hayden's
museum. She cited issues with concrete levels at the entrance, and
Lisa Wright advised the Commission that she had been on site and
observed the levels, and they are considerable. Motion to approve the
COA was made by Paul Denney, seconded by Sue Lancaster. Motion
carried 4-0.
Motion was made for Becki Norment to return to the meeting by Claudia
Hunt, seconded by Sue Lancaster. Motion carried 4-0.
