new C of A for an ongoing project. The project had been delayed for various reasons, and the
owners is ready to move forward with the project. The outside portion to the street would be
complete in approximately 6 months. Mr. Then addressed the massing of the structure and that
the additions seem to have masked the original structure. Ms. Gibbs moved to approve renewal
of C of A. Ms. Kelly seconded. Motion carried 7 -1 (Then against)
Item 5g — 1320 Magnolia Ave., Waldemar Dietrichs trust. Mr. Cleberg of 3 -C's Builders
addressed the board regarding the removal of the metal building that was added on to the original
structure. The new addition will be more in keeping with the style and architecture house. The
use of the addition will be the same as the existing. The ironwork will need to have certification
for windload specifications as required by the building department. If it is not available, the
supports will have to be wood supports wrapped with woodwork. Ms. Gibbs moved to approve
as submitted with final design of supports submitted to Ms. Gerli. Ms. Shreve seconded. Motion
carried. 8 -0.
Item 5b — 422 Palmetto Ave., First United Methodist Church, owners. Sylvia Gruner, a
representative of the board of trustees from the church is requesting approval to demolish the
house and install a volleyball court in its place. This is the second request for this process. The
applicants view the sale of the property as a liability since the structure is uninhabitable and the
church is not interested in giving up or selling any more church property. Estimates from a
general contractor to reconstruct the property in accordance with S Codes and Building Codes
are well over $100,000.00 and are not in keeping with funds available to the church. No
estimates have been obtained to demolish the building. While the application was submitted with
the vacated site to be used as a volleyball court, but church assets may only permit the use to be a
parking facility. The church has explored the availability of obtaining a grant to rehab the
structure. Ms. Gruner has stated that they are not able to obtain a grant. Ms. Gibbs made motion
to table until the June meeting so additional information from the Church Board of Trustees with
regard to the sale of the property as well as an engineer to determine if the structure is repairable
and or movable can be obtained so the board will have the required information to make a
decision. Mr. Then seconded. Motion carried 8 -0.
Item 5c — 613 Magnolia Ave., Tim J. Dix, owner. Two windows on the rear of the house have
been removed and would like to replace them with two full light mahogany doors. A temporary
wood deck will be used until bedroom addition is done. Ms. Kelly moved to approve as
submitted. Mr. Goodman seconded. Motion carried 7 -0 (Mr. Then recused).
Item 5d — 511 Elm Ave., Angela Toney, owner. Owner is asking to change out a chainlink fence
and install a wood panel fence. New fence will be 6' possibly will add lattice. Fence on left hand
side belongs to the other property. Double gates will be on the right hand side before the garage.
Fence will be left natural. Ms. Shreve made a motion to approve 6'wood fence with 2' lattice.
Mr. Goodman seconded. Motion carried 8 -0.
