918 Elm Avenue - Remodel structure for new use, install curb cut along l O' Street and construct custom fence
Colleen Spring, 910 Elm Avenue, was present. She stated that they would like to put in a brick driveway leading
to the existing concrete slab. They would like to turn the house into a two car garage and fix the exterior so that it
matches their current house. They are proposing white vinyl on the outside, to keep the four corner windows, and
remove the front door and the one middle window in the front of the house. The roof will be reshingled and
matched with 910 Elm Avenue. They are planning on putting two separate wood garage doors on the back of the
house that faces the alley. She stated that they are also interested in installing a 7' fence which is scalloped at the
top around 910 as well as 918 Elm Avenue.
After the Springs finished showing and explaining pictures, Mr. Singeisen stated that he loves everything about it
except all the fenestration along the Elm Street side that used to say house. Ms. Goeb stated that with what they
are planning to do, matching their house, it will fit in nicely with the current property.
Mr. Padgett moved to approve as presented. Seconded by Ms. Farrell. All in favor. Motion carried.
1002 S. Magnolia Avenue - Remove and replace insect damaged sill plate and framework on north porch, remove
and replace insect damaged framework, siding and roof of west utility room, and remove existing front (north
end) extension covered with rolled roof material - insect and water damaged.
Albert Lehmkuhl stated that he proposes to replace the 8'x9' utility room located at the rear of the house because
it is water and insect damaged. It has a flat roof and jalousie windows. He proposes to put in a gable roof and
install wooden, double hung windows and a solid wooden door with raised panels. The siding will be wooden
clap board.
A motion was made and seconded. All in favor. Motion carried.
1013 Myrtle Avenue - Install curb cut.
Mr. Reed, friend of applicant, represented this request. He stated that the owner has nice cars and has been
having trouble with vandalism and would like to park out front.
Mr. Padgett suggested that the applicant present a site plan that shows the entire site so that the Board can see if
there are any other options. He can't see what is behind the house, where the alley is or how many feet from the
back of the house there are to the alley. Mr. Reed stated about 16'.
Ms. Goeb moved to table until more information is submitted from the owner and perhaps a plot plan that shows
exactly where the house is located on the property. Seconded by Mr. Padgett. All in favor. Motion carried.
804 Magnolia Avenue - Install 8'x6' aluminum shed and install one piece of stockade fence.
Because no one was present to represent this request, a motion to table was made due to lack of a site plan.
Seconded by Mr. Kuhn. All in favor. Motion carried.
