The Historic District Commission mirrored construction activity by considering seven applications at the August 17 meeting. Five applications were approved:
- 14 White – new door cut/door; new walkway
- 82 Armstrong – open filled rear doorway
- 8 Angle – new construction: single family residence
- 28 S Main – new construction: addition
- 12 Hillside – pave driveway
Commissioner Steve Holifield recused himself from the vote on 12 Hillside.
The application to replace non-original windows and a door at 34 Ridgeway was tabled pending a site visit to see if commissioners could tell what was original to the studio and what was not.
An application for new paint colors at 94 Wall was also tabled pending a site visit. Commissioner Doug Breitling stated their guidelines mention garish colors or too many colors should be avoided. He wanted commissioners to look at the nearby homes to see if the bold colors proposed would be out of character with the neighborhood.
These items on the Consent Agenda were approved:
- 23 Elk – new sign
- 51 12 S. Main – new sign
- 155 Spring – new paint colors
- 5 Spring – new sign
- 90 S. Main – new paint colors
- 58 Vaughn – replace porch posts and railing
Consent Agenda items are Level I applications that the City Preservation Officer believes
to be in accordance with the Design Guidelines.

and work involving no changes in materials or color but do include applications for changes in roofing color:
