Willie B. Sherman, Jr., D.D.S., submitted an Application for
Certificate of Appropriateness to install awnings above the second
floor windows of the building at 217 South Oak Avenue. Applicant
was not present.
Mr. Gibson reported that Dr. Sherman indicated he is interested in
installing individual awnings above the second floor windows. The
awnings he is proposing will be of the same style as the one the
Board previously approved for the front of the building, at their
December 1, 1994 meeting. Dr. Sherman had indicated to Mr. Gibson
that he would be attending this meeting to present the style of
light fixtures that he proposes to attach to the front of the
building. He expressed the reason for the lighting is for security
purposes for his clients. The Board expressed a concern regarding
the proposed light fixtures conflicting with the awning. The Board
will need something submitted on the style of the lighting.
Kevin Stubbs moved to approve the Application for Certificate of
Appropriateness to install the proposed second floor awnings, as
long as the awnings matched the width from outside of shutter to
outside of shutter. The height, style, color and material of the
awnings are to match the previously approved awning with no back
lighting. He further stated that the applicant needs to submit
further information on the style and location of the proposed light
fixtures for the building at 217 South Palmetto Avenue. Seconded
by Laura Straehla and carried by unanimous vote.
Robert Burns, contractor and installer, was present and submitted
an Application for Certificate of Appropriateness to install
aluminum windows 1101 South Park Avenue.
Mr. Burns explained that the existing windows, on the back porch at
1101 South Park Avenue, are aluminum and he is proposing to replace
them with new aluminum windows. The size of the new window will be
the exact size of the old window 37" X 63 ". They are up and down
single hung windows and he is proposing to replace them with white
finished colonial true divided grid single hung tilt windows.
Chris Cranias moved to approve the Application for Certificate of
Appropriateness to replace the aluminum windows at 1107 South Park
Avenue as submitted, if the location of the porch is on the rear of
the property and not visible from Park Avenue. If the porch is on
the side of the property and visible from Park Avenue, then Mr.
Stubbs will review the existing windows to determine if it is cost
prohibitive to replace them with wood windows. If the existing
windows are on the side, of the property, visible from Park Avenue
and can be replaced with wood windows this issue will need to come
back before the Board at their February 2, 1995 meeting. Seconded
by Laura Straehla and carried by unanimous vote.
