9 10th Street Application was presented by Kenny Gray for The Photography

Trust. The request was to remove existing windows and replace them with

aluminum clad windows. The Board reviewed and discussed the application. It

review/approval of the Board of Historic and Architectural Review (BHAR). A

motion was made by John Lester to approve the application as presented. Cheri

Sanders seconded the motion. The motion passed.



Old/New Business

The Board reviewed and discussed the status of the applications approved at the

June 2006 Meeting for compliance with the Board?s ruling.



The Board discussed the amendment to the Design Guidelines for Signage (Chap.

6). The discussion was in reference to the allowing of pole banners in the

Uptown Fa?ade District. The amendment to the Guidelines allows the use of this

type of banner. However, this provision may be in conflict with the City?s

Sign Ordinance.
