111 Main St, which is currently the VFW building, will be converted to a coffee house.
The first step in the process will be a renovation of the facade of the building. PJ
presented an overview, and John Constenius discussed the specifics of the proposal.
Discussion included the type of copper, historical integrity, the potential shift of the sign
(not necessary), and the use of real stone. Gini moved to approve the project with the
suggestion that the sign be centered and the rockwork be extended. John Hinchey
seconded. Approved 5-0.
ReMax (1 Main St) was initially tentatively placed on the agenda, but was removed
because the proposed fascia replacement does not require a building permit. Discussion
regarding an earlier approval of the property which incorporated parking lot signs,
landscaping, and building signage. Some interpretive issues as to whether or not it would
be a sign. Bill moved to enforce the prior conditions, Gini seconded. Paul abstained.
Motion approved 4-0.
Other Discussion:
Administrative Matters: Implementation of new ARC standards were discussed. We
will continue to use building permits and sign permits (generally freestanding signs and
wall signs less than 50 sq ft) as a threshold. The committee discussed a rotating chair on
an annual basis, with Gini as chair for 2006 and Carol as chair for 2007 (Bill moved, John
seconded; approved 5-0). We will continue to meet on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays at the
Legacy.
