Certificate of Appropriateness – 301 W 7th Street Associate Planner Nelson presented the request for an updated Certificate of Appropriateness for the planned addition to the building located at 301 W 7th Street. In August 2025, a Certificate of Appropriateness was approved for the façade of the addition only. The owners now plan on updating the façade of the current structure by extending the vinyl siding down to the existing masonry. Because of the partial multi-level nature of the existing structure, Nelson expressed concern with the façade of the original structure meeting the 25% masonry requirement for a public street. Moore asked if a variance could be requested to waive the 25% masonry requirement. Lenz asked for confirmation on the extent of the vinyl siding update to the façade on the current structure and recommended maintaining an  even height with the vinyl across both the addition and the current structure. Schroeder asked what the color of the masonry would be. Nelson confirmed that the color proposed in the original application was a tan or cream color. Schroeder suggested that the masonry be raised to ensure the current structure meets the 25% requirement. Moore expressed concern with raising the height of the masonry considering the impact of the uniformity and aesthetics of the building’s façade. Lenz made a motion to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness to 301 W 7th Street with the knowledge that the façade may not meet the 25% masonry requirement due to the unique shape of the building. Seconded by Schroeder. Motion passed unanimously. 5. Other Business a. None 6. Adjourn Vanevenhoven made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Lenz. Motion passed unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 10:02 a.m.
