With organization and efficiency, the Historic District Commission spent less than an hour at its April 4 meeting to dispatch 11 new applications including two for construction of new single-family dwellings on Angus and one in Corley Heights. Privacy fencing was also a popular topic.

The approval for 226 Spring was for six months to complete the project or come back to the commission and ask for an extension.
The only item on the Consent Agenda was approved:
- 2 Center – new sign/awning art
The Consent Agenda items are Level I applications that the City Preservation Officer believes to be in accordance with the design guidelines.
