Case 2007-2; 477 W. Western Installation of awnings on the first and second floors. Applicant:
Phyllis Slater. District: Clay/Western. Class: AA. Current Function: Commercial. Constructed:
1918. H. Mitchell presented the staff report. Staff would recommend approval of the request, based
on the advice of Robbert McKay of SHPO, since this structure has no individual significance other
than contributing to the façade of Western Avenue, provided that any historic features are not
removed or destroyed.
K. Panozzo arrived at 4:03 p.m.
L. Spataro arrived at 4:03 p.m.
The applicant provided a drawing of what the proposed awnings would look like. Board members
and the applicant discussed the existing roll-up awning. L. Spataro stated that he preferred that the
applicant maintain the awning that is currently in place.
A motion that the HDC approve the request to install awnings above the three second story
windows as proposed, and one large awning above the first floor window as proposed, with the
conditions that the awnings will meet all zoning guidelines, building codes, and that all necessary
permits be obtained and if any historic elements are removed for installation, they must be replaced,
was made by S. Kroes, supported by L. Spataro and approved, with K. Panozzo and L. Spataro
voting nay.
