Maney Avenue and N. Highland Avenue. It was built in 1893 in the Colonial Revival/Queen Anne style of architecture with a massive arched porch with balustrade, Chicago School and Palladian windows. It is a 2 ½ story, brick structure with a hip roof. The house is a contributing structure in the East Main Street Historic District of the National Register of Historic Places. The applicants propose to replace all of the 3rd floor windows of the house due to the deteriorated condition of the windows. In addition, they are replacing the windows in order to have more energy efficient windows at their residence. According to the brochure the replacement windows will have a vinyl exterior finish. Please see the attached photographs in the agenda materials of the house in its current condition with an emphasis on the 3rd floor windows. The proposed windows will keep the same style as the current windows. The applicants have contacted American Home Design to undertake the project.

Mr. Lewis reviewed the application and staff comments contained in the Historic Zoning Commission agenda package. Mr. Hunter Sartain, representing the Boy Scouts was present. HZC Minutes August 13, 2013 Special Meeting Mr. Hunter Sartain came to the podium. Chairman Cantrell referred to the location of the shelters stating they are actually not in the practice field of the soccer field, where the chain-linked area is located. It is more where the football field. Mr. Sartain said yes, that is the soccer field. The coaches were requiring a place for the players to sit during an official game. That is why there are two shelters, one for the home team and one for the visitors. That is why they are located on the main field and not on the practice field. Mr. Becker asked Mr. Sartain if he knew the color of the metal roof. Mr. Sartain said it is his understanding the metal roof will be silver and the T-111 will be wood. Ms. Anderson asked Mr. Sartain to review the placement of the shelters. She wanted verification the shelters would not be within the chicken wire fence that faces Lytle. Mr. Sartain said the shelters will be located on the main soccer field that has the chain-link fence around it. The shelters will be located inside the fenced area between the side lines and the chain-link fence. Chairman Cantrell said the shelters will be located east of the helipad. Mr. Lewis showed an aerial view of the soccer field. Mr. Ives said to the left of the aerial view is the larger practice field, off to the left. Chairman Cantrell asked when the construction would start. Mr. Sartain said he would like to go ahead and meet with Mr. Rowland in the Building and Codes Department today and get the permit, if approved. He is ready to get supplies from Home Depot and Lowe’s. The first day would consist of sitting posts and getting skirts ready for the concrete. Mr. Sartain said he would like to start this Thursday (August 15th) and get this done by Sunday (August 18th). If that date is not possible, he would like to start next week as he would have to work around the game schedules. He said the players will never have to sit on a construction site during the games. Mr. Cross made a motion to approve the construction of soccer field shelters on the Central Magnet School campus. The motion was seconded by Mr. Wade and approved unanimously. 2 HZC Minutes August 13, 2013 Special Meeting Mr. Sartain thanked the Commissioner for holding this special meeting. Mr. Ives asked if Mr. Sartain would need the approval letter before he can get a building permit. Mr. Lewis said no, he will escort Mr. Sartain to the Building and Codes Department and walk him through the process. Mr. Lewis said he would mail the letter tomorrow. Mr. Wade asked how many people each shelter would hold. Mr. Sartain estimated a team of 36 people. Other Business Mr. Becker said the minutes from the June 18th meeting need to be approved. Mr. Wade made a motion to approve the minutes as submitted. The motion was seconded by Vice-Chair Cross and carried unanimously in favor. Ms. White referred to a previously approved application for the Egli home, asking if they are waiting for the standing seam metal roof material. Mr. Lewis confirmed, as far as he knows, they were waiting for the material. Mr. Lewis announced there will not be a regular scheduled meeting for the Historic Zoning Commission this month as no applications came in for the agenda. The meeting adjourned at 3:41 p.m. _________________________ _________________________ CHAIRMAN SECRETARY 3
