Ms. Coffman introduced the application by displaying the location of the business and reviewing

the staff comments and recommendations.

Mr. Kevin Holiday of A-Sign-Above informed the Board that he had not reviewed the staff’s

comments prior to the session. The Board, staff, and applicant discussed centering the proposed

wall sign between the windows and the vent, the Board noted the sign's size is currently too large

and the existing (non permitted) sign was never formally approved. The group debated the

appropriate width and lettering size necessary for both regulatory compliance and roadside

readability. To clarify these requirements, Ms. Coffman read the official facade sign area

calculations and committed to emailing that data to the applicant.

The discussion then turned to the ground sign, with Mr. Holiday stating the proposal involves

replacing both the sign and its posts. The Board clarified that city code requires the sign to be

mounted on a solid base. The applicant expressed concern regarding the affordability of this

installation, leading to a deliberation on the necessity of meeting Land Development Code (LDC)

A motion was made by Ms. Sredinski, seconded by Mr. Workley, that this AHBR

Ms. Ashley Ressler, homeowner, was present for the meeting.

The Board, applicant, and staff, discussed: The proposed door is a like-for-like replacement of an

AHBR previously approved door, and when the garage was built in 2003, the house was not in the

Historic District.

A motion was made by Ms. Sredinski, seconded by Ms. Marzulla, that this AHBR

Application be approved. The motion carried by the following vote:

Ms. Coffman introduced the application by displaying photos of the house, describing the work to

be done, and reviewing the staff comments and recommendations.

Mr. Nick Boka, Anthony Slabaugh Remodeling & Design, described the three-season addition off

the rear of the main mass of the house, noted the roof plan will be supplied to staff, and that the

plan will change so the new block matches the existing block as AHBR directs. Regarding the

siding, the house siding is unique and no longer manufactured; the closest match will be used,

with the belief that the trim details will help this not be as noticeable. The Board questioned how

the two places the proposed roof will meet the old will look? Mr. Boka described the valleys and

noted his description will be shown on the roof plan. Mr. Boka also noted limitations with the

design software and explained a few problem areas. Overall, the Board was positive towards the

design.
