second were withdrawn.

310 S. Magnolia Avenue - remove window and enclose hot water tank; install porch railings (cont'd from
6/14/01). Ms. Gerli stated that Mr. Dorcy did call and he is not ready to come back. The windows are taking
longer to make than expected. Ms. Winternheimer moved to table. Seconded by Mr. Myers. All in favor.
Motion carried.
705 Palmetto Avenue - raise roof to add second story.
David Gilley, 705 Palmetto Avenue, stated that the residence is a one -story wood frame, lap siding structure with
a large attic space with 6' of headroom at the peak of the gables. It is his intention to raise the roof on each of the
gables 3'm order to make additional living space. The second -story will incorporate the same style of lap siding
and wood, single hung windows. The color or the siding and the shingles will remain the same.
Ms. Valente moved to approve on a conceptual basis to add 3' to the roof. Seconded by Ms. Farrell. Mr. Myers
stated that the property appears to be a style similar or that of a one -story country victorian with a number of
gables, similar to the property that is on the corner of 7 th and Oak. Based on the line drawings, it seems to
transform the general style into something more like a two -story farmhouse. He stated that if the Board changes,
to a great degree, the styles or sizes of the properties in such a way that they cannot revert back to the original size
or style, will change the unique fabric of the neighborhood. Ms. Kelly and Mr. Myers in opposition. All others in
favor. Motion carried.

Jim Ermish, 808 Magnolia Avenue, stated that the front door has been installed, a portion of the fence has been

that what Mr. Burke is proposing to do is where their fence line stops, he will come up the property line
approximately 16' and cut into where his garage is. It will be like a little cove. Mr. Burke will have double gates
so that he can back his boat in.
Ms. Kelly stated that she did not have a problem with the concept, but the fact that there isn't anything showing
where the fence will be on the property, she has a problem with because this is something that is required from
everyone.

Mr. Then stated that he is still looking for the minor review approval that granted the curb cut at 13 Street and
Palmetto, 1210 Palmetto Avenue.
Mr. Myers stated that the materials such as the T -111 siding, someone could end up replacing all of it in a short
amount of time due to maintenance. This is not an approved product in the neighborhood. This is regarding the
Minor Review for 414 Palmetto Avenue for replacement of T -111 wood siding that is water damaged. This is
something we need to review when we do the S Codes. Materials like this that is not up to standard should not be
allowed to be replaced. Repainted maybe, but once it is rotted and gone, it should be gone. He thinks, at this
location, is that through maintenance it will end up being all replaced. Mr. Myers stated that if we can address the
T -111 differently in the immediate future, let's do this, however, if we can't then we need to revise the S Codes to
limit replacement of the siding.
Ms. Gerli stated that Mr. Singeisen had called and asked to postpone the workshops until some direction from the
City Commission could be obtained.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 P.M.
