CALL TO ORDER:



Meeting was called to order by Neil Clark, Chairman. A quorum was present.



Case Reviews:





1007 Broadway Application was presented by Kevin Welch for Fountain City

Coffee. The request was to construct a pergola in a parking area adjacent to

the building. The applicant was also requesting the addition of secondary

signage on the store front windows. The Board first reviewed and discussed the

request for signage. A motion was made by Fred Greene to approve the signage

as presented. Jack Collins seconded the motion. The motion passed. The Board

then reviewed and discussed the request for the construction of the pergola.

The Board?s discussion primarily focused on the proposed design of the roof of

the pergola. The Board felt a ?flat? roof as opposed to a slanted or ?shed/

lean-to? type roof would look more appropriate since the pergola does not

connect to the adjacent structure and is free standing. The Board also

discussed the type/quality of materials, especially being used for the lattice

work, and the overall color scheme of the structure. A motion was made by Mark

Renner to approve the construction of the pergola with the requirements that

the structure have a ?flat/level? roof, that the lattice materials be of a

quality grade material, and that all wood surfaces be stained ?verdigris? as

identified on the submitted color chart. Also the existing awnings over the

windows of the adjacent building are to remain in place. Fred Greene seconded

the motion. The motion passed.





1408 Veterans

Parkway Application was presented by Todd Ammerman for Spectrum Stores, Inc.

The request was to construct an addition onto the South fa?ade of the existing

structure. The Board reviewed and discussed the application. The Board?s

discussion primarily focused on maintaining the current appearance (same

materials, color scheme, design) of the structure. A motion was made by Mark

Renner to approve the addition with the requirement that the new addition

include bollards and a sidewalk around the new addition. Jack Collins seconded

the motion. The motion passed.



1100 Broadway Application was presented by Mary Anne Aubin for Mary Anne

Mathews Aubin Framing Studio. The request was for the installation of an

awning, signage and use of a banner. The Board reviewed and discussed the

application. It was noted that the awning, signage and banner had been

installed prior to the Board?s review/approval. The Board?s discussion focused

on the location of the business and its relation to the flow of traffic and its

need for different types of signage. Ms Aubin explained that the banner is

removed and used only when the business is open. A motion was made by Pat Love

to approve the installation of the awning and signage and to grant a variance

for the continued use of the banner due to the location of the business. Fred

Greene seconded the motion. The motion passed.





Administration of the Fa?ade Board:



Due to the length of the meeting, Bill Duck, Director ?Inspections and Codes,

presentation to the

Board was rescheduled to the regular monthly meeting to be held in July.





Adjourn:



There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
