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.
