that as far as open space and coverage requirements, Schedule S covers the area as opposed to the
normal SR -1 zoning.
Mr. Muniz stated that the art studio and the shed are attached but that it is one separate building. The
existing shed is totally rotted and will be coming down. He stated that there is nothing covering the
portion of the addition on the house, just plywood, and that this section will be stuccoed The back

favor. Motion carried
Neat on the Agenda was the consideration of a Certificate of Appropriateness for 1219 Park Avenue
- demolish gas station. Mr. Marder stated that this property has been on the condemnation list and
has gone all the way through the process. Mr. Skat moved to have the City review the possibility of
securing the building and if this can't be done, then bring the application for demolition back before
the Board, and that the City contact the owner to find a use for the building. Seconded by Mr.
Singeisen. All in favor. Motion carried.
Next on the Agenda was the consideration of a commercial application for Certificate of
Appropriateness, Second Street storm sewer interceptor construction. Bill Simmons stated that the
City will be doing some surface construction as well as a lot of sub- surface construction along 2'
Street. This is part of a storm drain interceptor which is designed to prevent future I` Street flooding
by diverting storm water away from the 1" Street area. The work includes not only a new storm drain
but also includes a new sanitary sewer line and a new potable water line. The City Commission's
directive was that the plan include the restoration of 2 Street between Oak Avenue and Sanford
Avenue in brick. The bad news is that the City won't have enough brick when it is removed in that
section, allowing for breakage, to put back a complete brick street, curb to curb, as it now exist.
Dave Gierach of Conklin, Porter & Holmes will present a concept for a streetscape along that area
where enough ofwhat is now street area will become streetscape, not requiring brick, to give the City
enough brick to finish the rest of the job recogni2ing that this brick is basically old brick and
replacement supplies are not available.
Mr. Gierach presented some drawings that showed the proposed planter locations. He stated that
planters will be located at intersections, in alleys, and at various locations along the proposed
alignment. Curb will be between planters. Crosswalks are being proposed to accent each
intersections. Parallel parking is being proposed to eliminate parking on the sidewalk and angle
parking.
Mr. Skat moved to approve the plan as presented. Seconded by Mr. Singeisen. All in favor. Motion
carried.
The next item on the Agenda was the acknowledgment of Minor Review Committee Actions: a) 919
Park Avenue - paint, repair porch; b) 1001 Ehn Avenue - replace wire fence with stockade fence.
Since the Board did not receive the backup material for this item, it requested that the items be placed
on the next agenda.
Ms. Sollien stated that the Awards Committee met for preservation awards for preservation week that
is in May. The Committee decided to do one award for residential and one for commercial. Anyone
can apply. An application will be formatted. Applicants will be asked to come up with some proof
of the work that was completed. We will take into consideration the Secretary of the Interior's
guidelines as well as our guidelines. The scope and depth of the restoration will be taken into
consideration. Ms. Sollien stated that she would like a slide show at the time of the announcement
of the winners.
The owner of 417 W. 2nd Street requested the Board consider an application for Certificate of
Appropriateness for windows. She stated that she missed the deadline and Mr. Van Gaale advised
her to present the application under Other Business. She stated that four of the windows are out
completely. She would like to redo the entire house with colonial style windows, however, they are
aluminum windows. They don't look aluminum, but they are. They are single hung aluminum
windows. Ms. Muniz is to do some more checking as to the wood windows. There was no action
taken on the replacement window request.
Ms. Sollien reported that the Methodist, Baptist and Catholic churches were present at the Church
meeting. They talked about the parking problems, street lighting and crime, and would like to meet
