Request for Certificate of Appropriateness – Town of Fort Mill Chairman Roman introduced the request, the purpose of which was to approve two dumpster enclosures for the use of businesses in downtown Fort Mill. Planning Director Pettit noted the Town was requesting to construct a dumpster enclosure in the parking lot behind the south side of Main Street and in the Fort Mill Police Department parking lot off Academy Street, with the designs matching one that was previously approved by the HRB for the parking lot behind the north side of Main Street. Planning Director Pettit noted that based on site constraints that aren’t determined until the final due diligence phase of the projects, the exact location of the dumpster enclosures are unknown but would generally fall within a few areas. Those areas were then pointed out to the board using aerial imagery. Chairman Roman questioned what the Fort Mill Police Department intended to do with the lower parking lot off Academy Street, to which Planning Director Pettit noted that the intent would be to utilize the parking for the police department. 2  Chairman Roman questioned what the town’s intent was for the upper parking lot, to which Planning Director Pettit noted that the intent would be to have the parking available for public use with only a few spaces reserved for emergency vehicles. Discussions occurred related to the purpose of the dumpsters, to which Planning Director Pettit noted that the intent was to replace any individual garbage containers being utilized by the businesses on Main Street. Hearing no further questions, Chairman Roman requested a motion. Mr. Heemsoth made a motion to approve the dumpster enclosures as presented. Ms. Blair seconded the motion. The motion was approved by a vote of 5-0. 2. Request for Certificate of Appropriateness – 237 Main Street Chairman Roman introduced the request, the purpose of which was to approve removing the current PuckerButt signage from 235 Main Street and putting it back up at 237 Main Street. Planning Director Pettit provided a brief overview of the request and provided pictures from Main Street showing the existing and proposed locations for the signage. Ed Currie with PuckerButt discussed the request, specifically discussing how the signage would be installed along an angled façade. Chairman Roman questioned whether the side profiles of the sign would remain black to match the sign, to which Mr. Currie noted that the sides would be black. Hearing no further questions, Chairman Roman requested a motion. Ms. Blair made a motion to approve the request as presented. Ms. White seconded the motion. The motion was approved by a vote of 5-0. 3.

Carmen Banks, applicant, explained the extent of the requested improvements as detailed on the application. 3  Discussions occurred related to the details for the proposed awning at the rear entrance to the building. Ms. Banks noted that the awning would be scalloped to match the front, extend generally to the property line, and be black to match the awning on the front. Discussions occurred related to the request to remove the painting on the front façade and reveal the façade material behind the paint. Hearing no further questions, Acting-Chairman Radovanovic requested a motion.

Request for Certificate of Appropriateness – 235 Main Street Chairman Roman introduced the request, the purpose of which was to approve new signage for 235 Main Street, to go in the place of the existing PuckerButt signage, as well as painting for the non-brick portions of the front façade. Planning Director Pettit provided a brief overview of the request, the pictures from Main Street, and the signage rendering as provided by the sign company. Dan Holmes provided the board with paint samples for the proposed painting of the front façade. Discussions occurred related to the materials of the signage, to which Mr. Holmes noted that the material was the same as PuckerButt’s signage.

Planning Director Pettit noted that a request had come in for signage at 124 Main Street and that it would come before the Historic Review Board at their next meeting.
