Historic Preservation Commission Special Meeting
The Commission addressed two main agenda items. The first involved a request for a certificate of appropriateness for signage for the '1889 Tattoo' business at 107 West Cleveland Avenue, which was approved. The second item involved a request regarding front facade changes for a building at 220 East Harrison Avenue, where the applicant discussed structural issues discovered after removing awnings, the inability to stucco the building as previously planned due to budget constraints, and the proposal to keep the original brick exposed and reframe windows. The Commission expressed significant concerns regarding the long-term structural integrity of the exposed brick and recommended adherence to the previous plan for stucco or other appropriate historical materials.
