Certificate of Appropriateness — Residential: 717 Magnolia Avenue — install picket fence. Ms.

Certificate of Appropriateness — Residential: 314 W. 3 Street — replace front door and shutters.
Sid Vihlen, 204 N. Park Avenue, was present to represent the request on behalf of his father.
Mr. Vihlen stated that the front door has already been replaced with a colonial type door because
when the tenants moved out, there was damage to the door. The exterior of the house will be
repainted the same color. The "false storm shutters" will be painted colonial green to match the
character of the home. The old fence was removed due to rot and they wish to replace it with a
wooden fence.
During discussion regarding the front door being metal instead of wood and the exact setbacks
for the fence, Mr. Vihlen withdrew the front door replacement and the fence replacement
requests from the application.
Mr. Myers moved to approve the repainting of the exterior of the house and installation of the
"false storm shutters." Ms. Shreve seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
Certificate of Appropriateness — Residential: 400 Palmetto Avenue — install picket fence.
Ms. Shreve and Mr. Then recused themselves from discussion and voting due to a personal
situation with the applicants.
Eric and Cari Zendell, 400 Palmetto Avenue, were present. The fence they are wanting to install
is PVC.
Schedule S states that fencing should be of wood or iron material. Mr. Singeisen stated that the
Board has modified Schedule S during a meeting before.
Ms. Kelly moved to approve the fence as submitted. Ms. Farrell seconded. Ms. Kelly, Ms.
Farrell, Ms. Valente, Mr. Singeisen, and Mr. Kuhn in favor. Mr. Myers, Ms. Winternheimer, and

standard french door. The application will have to be modified if the change will be made on the
french doors.
Ms. Farrell moved to approve as presented and the concept of the change of the doors will come
back. Ms. Kelly seconded. Everything is to meet Schedule S requirements. All in favor.
Motion carried.
Certificate of Appropriateness — Residential: 404 Palmetto Avenue — final approval of garage,
breezeway, utility room, rear porch, extended kitchen, and swimming pool.
Renee Hays, 404 Palmetto Avenue, was present. Ms. Hays requested the Board to revisit the
hardship for the garage doors. Due to the narrow turning radius, they would like to have a
variance to allow one 16 -ft. garage door instead of two 8 -ft. garage doors, as approved. No one
would be able to see the garage door due to it being along the alley.
Ms. Gerli stated that she researched the 16 -ft. garage door at 901 S. Magnolia Avenue and from
the tape it seemed that it was approved because they could not back into the alley if they only
had a 9 -ft. wide door.
The applicant requested to change the application from two 8 -ft. doors to one 16 -ft. door.
Ms. Kelly moved to approve the application with one 16 -ft. door. Ms. Winternheimer seconded.
Mr. Then advised the Board that the door will be metal. Ms. Kelly, Ms. Farrell, and Ms.
Winternheimer were for the motion. Mr. Kuhn, Mr. Myers, Mr. Then, Mr. Singeisen, Ms.
Valente, Ms. Stevens, and Ms. Shreve were against the motion. Request was denied.
Certificate of Appropriateness — Residential: 310 W. 3 rd Street — replace front door (ATF).
Brenda Garcia, 310 W. 3 rd Street, was present. The original door swelled so she had to replace
the door. The new door is steel. Ms. Garcia stated that she would change the door to a wood
door.
Ms. Kelley moved to deny. Ms. Shreve seconded. Ms. Kelly amended this motion to state the
reason for denial is because the current door is a metal door, which is not
included in Schedule S and the new door be replaced within three months. Ms. Shreve seconded
the amended motion. All in favor. Motion carried.
Mary Valente had to leave.
Certificate of Appropriateness — Residential: 203 E. 10 Street — install new porch columns and
handrail; new front door; new picket fence and gate.
