A. 7111st Street S.vv. - Joyce Freeman - Ms. Freeman stated the roof will
be the same style, just a different color. Motion was made by Susan
Scholz, seconded by Paul Denney, to approve the COA. Motion carried
7-0.
B. 111 Lamar Ave. - Josiah Daniel - Arvin Starrett stated there is a new
facade constructed on the inside of the exterior wall. Lisa Wright
stated that no building permit was issued, so they did not know about
this until someone drove by and saw it. Arvin Starrett advised that this
is interior work with the intention that it will be an exterior facade when
the old facade is removed. The facade follows the historic setback
lines. In the application, they propose to remove the glass and
aluminum and widen the brick to turn into planters; however, this
would be an alteration of the building since the planters were not
original. Mr. Starrett further stated we can table this item since no one
is present or approve on the condition that there be a total removal of
the existing facade, brick included. Motion was made by Pike Burkhart,
seconded by Jerry Raper, to approve COA with the condition that all of
the contemporary front, including brick, will be removed. Motion
carried 7-0.
