CALL TO ORDER:



Meeting was called to order by John Lester, Chair. A quorum was present. The

Minutes of the July 21, 2008 Meeting were approved as presented.



Case Reviews:



1207 Broadway Application was presented by Anita Land for Deli Central. The

request was for the use of an umbrella for a hotdog cart. The proposed

umbrella is not earth tone in color. The Board reviewed and discussed the

application. It was noted that the proposed umbrella was already being used

without the Board?s prior review/approval. The Board?s discussion focused on

the fact that the proposed umbrella was not earth tone in color and that

approval of its use could set a precedent. A motion was made by Board Member

Garry Pound to approve the use of the umbrella as presented by granting a

variance from the required earth tone colors for umbrellas due to the unique

nature/use of the hotdog cart. Board Member Cherie Sanders seconded the

motion. The motion passed by a vote of 4 For, 2 Against.



Uptown Fa?ade District Application was presented by Kelly Smith for the

Business Improvement District (BID). The request was for the placement/use of

ash receptacles throughout the Uptown Fa?ade District. The receptacles would

be placed in order to reduce the litter problem. The Board reviewed and

discussed the application. A motion was made by Board Member Brenda Price to

approve the use of Style #1 of the ash receptacles as presented. Board Member

Garry Pound seconded the motion. The motion passed.









214 10th Street Application was presented by Mike Venable for CDN Properties,

LLC.

The request was for the replacement of existing windows and a

storefront. The application was amended by the applicant to include

replacing the windows on the south fa?ade and the addition of an

enclosed brick area for a trash dumpster on the east side of the

building.

The Board reviewed and discussed the application. A motion was made

by Board Member Brenda Price to approve the proposed changes to the

facades as presented and approval of the proposed brick enclosure with

an appropriate gate. Board Member Sonya Eddings seconded the

motion. The motion passed by a vote of 5 For, 1 Aganist.





Old/New Business



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

March 2008 Meeting for compliance with the Board?s ruling.



The Board continued its discussion on the use of stanchions as part of the Caf?

Ordinance. Board Member David Wolf will have an example for the Board to

review at the September 2008 Meeting.





Adjourn:



There being no further business the meeting was adjourned.
