V. Certificate of Appropriateness Interview James and Patricia Musser'of 1723 Fillmore
for CA-72-06 (Foundation).
The Mussers have met with their engineer regarding the foundation under their house.
He has given them three options. Their question was, is only about three inches of
� foundation above the ground and part of it is behind a planter. Is a C` of A necessary?
The commission felt that is necessary. Two Points #1 - If we do not require a C of A for
three inches where does it become necessary. #2 - Without a C of: A the Building
department will just send it back to us. Chuck R. moved to approve contingent upon the
Mussers putting together a list of material and how it would appear and have Tom Ensley
look at their proposal as he has in the past and if it appears to be appropriate to him, the C
of A be approved. Lorene Oates seconded. Motion passed.
VI. Audience Participation C of A Request, Update The Mussers want to change the
garage door proposed in their prior C of A to include four clear glass panels in the top to
let in more light. They would go in place where the original proposal showed four
panels. Chuck R moved we approve the change contingent upon the Mussers preparing
pictures and submitting them to Tom E for his approval. If he does not want to approve it
they can bring it back to us. Lorene seconded. Motion passed.
Dale LaCourstere was here to see if he needed a C of A to do some landscaping. He
wants to remove some ivy and some hedges at 1722 Dearborn. We have no control over
landscaping.
VII. Actions Since Last Meeting Elaine C reported that Lorene had brought to her attention
that a house in the 1800 block of Cleveland has had a lean-to added to the side. This
structure is visible from the street. This has been turned over to the Building Department.
� Hopefully this is being worked on. There was a short discussion regarding the handling
of C of As. Elaine C reported that the Frank house still has a metal roof, but Mike
Frank assured her that it is on a roofing contractor's schedule to be done soon.
