Alterations (Front Entry and Side Door Replacements)
Attachments: 31 Church Street
Ms. Schrenk introduced the application by describing the house and project and reviewing
the staff comments.
Mr. Dan Murphy, Pella Windows, noted the side door was previously replaced and did not
match the house. Mr. Murphy then stated the fiberglass front entry door will use matching
trim.
The Board and applicant discussed: The style of the proposed front door not being similar to
the existing door which may be the original door, the homeowners desire for more light which
the proposed door will provide and is similar to a neighboring door. Staff stated that AHBR,
historically, has not permitted fiberglass doors as a replacement for wood front doors in the
Historic District.
The Board decided to table the application to allow clarification of the full scope of the
application and documentation of the need to replace the existing wood door.
This matter was continued

Architecture, described the proposed update, displayed the overall renderings with large
windows, noted the desire to increase the road view of the building and increased lighting
which will direct customers to the entrances, described the drive-thru, proposed materials,
raised roof, and brick color. Site improvements were also described including lighting, light
poles, new sign boards and hanging plants.
The Board, staff and applicant discussed: The banding around the building, exploring options
in the drive-thru area including adding an architectural roof feature, the transition between the
pet store and Acme, the pilaster color and how it may be used to tie the together the two
buildings and the mix of colors. Mr. Ernst also noted parking spaces will be reduced and

materials.

appropriate substitution for wood.

Commercial Exterior Alteration (Exterior Façade Renovation - Acme Store)
Submitted by Greg Ernst, AoDK Architecture
a) Staff anticipates an introductory discussion on January 26, 2022 to orient
the board and receive initial comment. The discussion would be
continued with formal action at a subsequent date.
b) Submit the following additional information after the project
introduction:
1. Submit a color rendering for the full front elevation.
2. Submit spec sheets and samples of all materials.
3. Submit a landscape plan in compliance with PC decision
including the proposed sidewalk improvements at the
pharmacy canopy.
4. Submit cross sections to understand the construction
details.
c) Question how the proposed work would relate and transition to the
existing end units and side/rear facades. Additional clarification is
needed on the extent of work related to the end unit tenant spaces.
d) Question if the wood panel design should extend to the ground to be
visually supported.
e) The design standards encourage breaking down the building into smaller
storefront modules. The proposed design removes the two small reverse
gable forms to the east end of the building. Staff notes the two small
reverse gables forms currently help break down the large, linear building.
Suggest a strong massing element at the drive thru canopy and at the
outer bays of the Acme entrance mass by considering some larger/thicker
brick columns, use of the transom glass, and accent materials such as the
aluminum composite panel accent.
f) Glass transom windows proposed will be a beneficial feature providing
natural light to the building interior. Question if such treatment could be
added to the enhanced pharmacy module or as roof dormers to provide
daylight and break up the long mass without doors or windows.
