V. Applications for Certificate of A
Residential: ppropriateness:
a) 510 W. 3rd Street - Demolish or Move House to
Another Location: Roy Zimmer was present for
representation. He stated that the house on the back
of the lot is not much anything. He stated that he had
had a couple of calls but when people find out they
have to move the house to a lot in the Historic
District, they hang up. The house is a hazard and a
fire trap.
Mr. Zimmer stated that he did purchase the property to
ultimately develop something but that there are no
specific plans as yet. Burger King did have some
interest. He stated that a mover will move it but not
to a lot in the District. The mover will use it for
his own use. Mr. Moore moved to approve the
applicant's request to remove or demolish the house.
The motion died for lack of a second. Mr. Skat moved
to deny it and allow the applicant to appeal to the
City Commission instead of this Board making a decision
to demolish a contributing structure. Seconded by Mr.
Mills. Mr. Moore stated that the house did not
contribute anything as it stands right now. Mr. Skat

stated that the trend of this Board is never to allow
structure to be demolished or moved outside of the
District. This Board is here to protect the
structures. Mr. Mills stated that Mr. Zimmer's
philosophy and the Board's philosophy are completely
different. The Board's is to try to maintain the
integrity of the District and Mr. Zimmer's is to buy
Potential developable property and develop it and make
money. The house isn't architecturally significant
that much but is is a part of the District and'it
contributes to the District. Mr. Moore opposed to the
motion. All others in favor. Motion carried.
b) 1109 Magnolia Avenue - Install Windows in Front
Gable: Brady Lessard was present for representation.
Sue Mitchell asked why the work was done before a C of
A was applied for. Mr. Lessard stated that the work
has not been completed. He stated that the reason work
was done because it has been his experience that it
takes a long time to go through this process. The
house was taking on water. Ms. Mitchell stated that
there are other ways to protect a house from taking on
water other than putting in a window. Ms. Capucille
asked why was the vent taken out and windows installed.
Mr. Lessard stated that the reason he did this was
under the advisement of Mark Shuttleworth who works at
Florida
therwa y h they e are t designed l from u that
period of time, one was rotted out in the front and the
back. The back one was not removed, it fell out. Mark
Shuttleworth said you have to put some type of frontal
protection against the house. Water blows into the
vent and trickles down through the walls. Ms.
Capucille asked why big windows as opposed to vents are
being installed. Mr. Mills stated that he knows Mark
Shuttleworth, that he is a friend, an ex- member of this
Board, and that he would not tell anyone to do anything
in opposition to this Board.
Mr. Mills moved to deny the application because it is
not in keeping with the philosophy of the Board and
that is to retain the integrity of historic materials.
Ms. Capucille seconded. Mr. Mills stated that a very
simple solution to that would have been to have made a
window very much like that vent and have louvers in
front of it so from the street it still looks like a
vent. Mr. Skat and Mr. Cranias in opposition to the
motion. All others in favor. Motion carried.
c) 1109 Magnolia Avenue - Install Window in Rear
Gable, Install Front Porch Railings: Brady Lessard was
also representing this request. Ms. Mitchell moved to
approve the porch railings with the condition that the
railings between the two front columns be eliminated,
that the window that will be installed on the back of
the house be the same size as the vent and made of
wood, and that the steps be widened to the size of the
opening. Seconded by Ms. Stairs. All in favor.
Motion carried.
d) 306 East 4th Street -Add Rear Deck and Railings:
Robert Kuhn was present. He stated that he would like
