requirement that the second floor window remain divided lights and approval of
the addition of the pediment/trim approval be subject to committee

1232 Broadway Application was presented by Chris Woodruff for 1230 & 1232
Broadway, LLC. The request was to remove the existing fa?ade materials to
expose the original fa?ade. The Board renewed and discussed the application.
The Board?s discussion focused on the plans for the fa?ade once the existing
fa?ade is removed. The applicant presented to the Board a plan for the
restoration of the fa?ade contingent on the findings after the removal. A
motion was made by Kevin Welch to approve the removal of the existing fa?ade,
identified in the application as Phase I. Any other changes to the fa?ade are
to be submitted to the Board for review/approval. Brenda Price seconded the
motion. The motion passed.
1028/1030 1st Avenue Application was presented by Hal Averrett for Frank
Foley. The request was for the demolition of the existing fa?ade on 1028 1st
Avenue, replace windows and doors, replace/repair brick detailing and install
clad windows. The Board reviewed and discussed the application. The Board?s
discussion focused on the proposed removal of the existing stucco fa?ade on
1028 1st Avenue. The Board?s concerns had to do with the how the fa?ade of
this building would be changed after the removal of the stucco. The applicant
had not decided a clear design for the fa?ade after the removal. A motion was
made by Brenda Price to approve the demolition of the existing stucco fa?ade as
presented for 1028 1st Avenue. The proposed changes to both facades (1028,
1030 1st Avenue) will need to be resubmitted for review/approval. David
Serrato seconded the motion. The motion passed.
1218 Veterans
Parkway Application was presented by Julie Smith for Burger King. The request
was for the demolition of the existing structure and the construction of a new
structure. The Board reviewed and discussed the application. The Board?s
discussion focused on several aspects of the request. The Board was concerned
about the proposed location of the building on the site as it relates to
Veterans Parkway. The Board felt the building should be more pedestrian
friendly/accessible. The Board noted what appears to be excessive parking
proposed for the site and the lack of any proposed landscaping in the plan. It
was also noted that the application did not include any proposed signage for
the site. A motion was made by John Lester to approve the demolition of the
existing building and the design only, of the new building. An application
that addresses the Board?s concerns will need to be submitted for the Board?s
review/approval. Kevin Welch seconded the motion. The motion passed.
Old/New Business
New Board member David Serrato was present for the meeting and was asked to
join the Board for the meeting. Neil Clark introduced Mr. Serrato and welcomed
him to the Board.
The Board discussed the status of the sign at 1338 Veterans Parkway
(McDonald?s). Board Member Cherie Sanders will try to find some aerial photos
to help determine the existence of the sign and a timeframe for its
installation.
