CALL TO ORDER:
Meeting was called to order by John Lester, Chair. A quorum was present. The
Minutes of the April 20, 2009 Meeting were approved as amended. The Minutes
were amended to reflect the adoption of the April Staff Report prepared by the
Preservation Professional as a part of the official record.
Case Reviews:
1111 Broadway Application was presented by Brandon Haynes for Flip Flops. The
request was for the removal of the existing storefront glass area. The changes
would include the installation of a railing and roll-up doors at the rear of
each storefront area. This was the second review of the application due to the
fact that insufficient details were initially presented (April 2009) for the
Board to approve the request. The Board reviewed and discussed the
application. The Board?s discussion focused on the use/design of the proposed
roll-up doors. A motion was made by Board Member Fred Greene to approve the
removal of the existing storefront glass and replace with black metal railing
and black metal/glass roll up doors; replacement of the storefront?s back wall
areas with brick walls, new brick to match existing brick. All inappropriate
signs, including neon signs and signs drawn on the storefront must be removed.
Board Member Sonya Eddings seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of
7 For, 1 Against.
Old/New Business
The Board reviewed and discussed the status of the applications approved at the
December 2008 Meeting for compliance with the Board?s ruling.
A new representative from Historic Columbus Foundation was present at the
meeting. Justin Kreig will serve as the Preservation Professional to the
Board. Historic Columbus Foundation provides the Staff Report each month. The
Staff Report is a review of the applications being presented each month and the
recommendation of the Preservation Professional as to the application?s
appropriateness and compliance with the Design Guidelines.
Adjourn:
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
