Mr. Kenneth Thomson, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 4:30 p.m. A copy of the meeting agenda is attached to these minutes as Exhibit A. Item 1: Approve Minutes – October 8, 2019 Historic District Commission Meeting. Mr. Matchett motioned to approve the minutes of the October 8 2019, Historic District Commission meeting as corrected. Mr. Wilson seconded the motion and the motion passed 4 ayes; 0 nays. Item 2: COA – 429 East Eastland Street – Deck Replacement and Pool. Ms. Jillian Ogden, Planner III, explained that the applicant would like to remove a deck and replace it with a wood covered patio with a new pool. Mr. Tim Allen, applicant, said the above ground pool is partially in-ground to accommodate the sloped yard. Ms. Ogden said the yard is fenced and the pool will not be visible from the road. Staff recommends approval with the condition that a building permit is issued before construction begins. Mr. Matchett motioned to approve the Certificate of Appropriateness (COA). Ms. Love seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous vote. Item 3: Election of Officers Mr. Wilson motioned to re-elect Mr. Thomson as Chair, Mr. Richey as Vice Chair, and Mr. Matchett as Secretary. Gallatin Historic District Commission Meeting Minutes 2 January 14, 2020 Ms. Love seconded the motion and the motion passed by unanimous vote. Item 4: Outstanding Historic District Problem Properties There were no problem properties to discuss. Item 5: Woodson Terrace Historic District Street Reports There were no issues to report. Item 6: East Main Street Historic District Street Reports There were no issues to report. Item 7: Other Business Ms. Callie Scott, 148 North Westland, said she has issues with the post office regarding her mailbox placement. Ms. Scott said she would like to have a mailbox on her home because it is consistent with the rest of the neighborhood. The post office maintains that she must put a post mailbox at the curb. She was also told by the post office that they cannot deliver to the mailbox attached to her home because she has a fenced yard and there may be dogs outside. Ms. Love said she does not believe the mailbox must be changed according to the Historic District guidelines. Mr. Thomson suggested a copy of the Woodson Terrace guidelines be sent to the post office. Mr. Matchett believes there was a letter from the post office in the 1990’s that said the mail box may not be removed from the house. Ms. Ogden said the guidelines specifically address mailboxes; however, the post office is a federal department and overrides City guidelines. Ms. Ogden said she will reach out to the State Preservation Office to see if anything can be done for Ms. Scott. It was suggested that Ms. Scott also contact her State Representative. Item: 8 Announcements Ms. Ogden said Staff is applying for a TDEC Preservation Grant to complete a Historic Resources Survey. The last survey was completed in 2009. Item: 9 Adjourn There being no further business to discuss, Chair Thomson adjourned the meeting at 5:00 p.m. Gallatin Historic District Commission Meeting Minutes 3 January 14, 2020 Respectfully submitted: _____________________________ Marianne Mudrak, Board Secretary Approved: ______________________________ ______________________________ Kenneth Thomson, Chair Roger Matchett, Secretary Appendix: Outstanding Historic District Problem Properties No updates at this time.
