Sid Vihlen, 204 N. Park Avenue, was present to represent the request on behalf of his father.

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.

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.

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.
