Staff said a fence permit was issued for 111 Walnut Street (the former Presbyterian church being renovated for a photography studio); the approved plan combines solid wood fencing with lattice and transitions to a low metal fence with hedges in places.

Staff also reported that Maev’s Tavern (the building on the south side of the square) received administrative approval for exterior alterations: a door opening at the far south side will be filled with a window and brick at ground level to better match the building; the proprietor will submit a sign permit later that will include awning color details. Staff said the same window vendor who supplied other project windows will provide the replacement, but the vendor has a lead time of about six weeks.

Staff introduced two new planning staffers: Nandita Banick (started part time in March and is now full time) and Sheila Hatchett (first week on the job). Staff also mentioned an upcoming training on June 12 at 6:00 p.m. at town hall aimed at meeting chairs and vice chairs; the session will be recorded.

No formal commission votes were required for the administrative approvals reported; staff said they would circulate additional details about Maev’s Tavern’s forthcoming sign permit when submitted.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Collierville - Historic District Commission - May 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the May 22 meeting staff reported administrative approvals including a fence permit for 111 Walnut Street (former Presbyterian church) and administrative approval for exterior changes at Maev’s Tavern; staff also announced two new planners and a June 12 training event for meeting chairs.","taxTitle","Collierville, Shelby County, Tennessee","taxId",4626,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6543555,"Town staff discuss possible EV charging stations under grant; locations under review",161,3531000,3692000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3472797-7d9525f4fd26521b7b83c642bc3058fa&start=3531&end=3692","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3472797-7d9525f4fd26521b7b83c642bc3058fa/thumbnail_3531000.jpg","/articles/6543555/Collierville/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Town-staff-discuss-possible-EV-charging-stations-under-grant-locations-under-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543555-6b8bc69d392b294d9ee9fb03eb02278d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835890&Signature=OAvKpLPFsMEh15mWXbuRWZGBJvao2noSZIq~O0D3TZ9zcrwCMjnqWnvtEjLEcBui9zaMJvyZ9kt8HUE5l8ufmKg2VJ3o2rQ8cHaRborRD-JtADoxb-IvNVS9ugM1vydrTHYM0u5Xr3Ofjwne2DQJrGgt3I2hC66WfXlWeUUf-1Yi~bTZAPzCJFvNGFXkKYF9K~CLcIBKunD01osZnx6pHgAWPnkDz7TOM2WcOJo7Xrb45dz0dy-dH4yli2hr3RRh~Nb1iFvsIZ9AfnNrjuv~cwi0KipwVvL2E60jtjDMXGio9GAz7dOF3ZlxIZZrsmpR5ReDdwQhRRU5nBuhNOUkmw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Collierville planning staff on May 22 told the Historic District Commission the town is exploring options to install electric vehicle charging stations in municipal parking lots using a grant tied to a utility settlement. Staff said the grant would cover full ownership and operation for five years; after that period the town could accept the equipment at no charge or have it removed.

Planner Jamie outlined informal options that have been discussed: locating the chargers in the Walnut Street parking lot next to Tom Brooks Park or on Washington Street (outside the historic district). Jamie said the grant requires sites to be on municipal or public land, within walking distance of commercial activity, and a certain distance from interstate freeways. Staff said each installation would occupy roughly four charging spaces and require additional mechanical equipment footprints.

Commissioners raised concerns about using premium parking near the square. One commissioner said downtown parking is a premium resource and cautioned against removing four or five spaces for chargers that may not be heavily used; others noted the intent of siting chargers where users can patronize nearby businesses while charging. Staff said elected officials had not approved a specific location and that conversations would continue with town leadership and utilities to identify a site that minimizes impacts on future development and nearby parking demand.

No formal action or vote was taken; staff characterized the item as informal discussion while the town continues to evaluate grant parameters and locations.

If the town pursues the grant, staff said they will aim to site chargers close to existing utility lines to avoid costly trenching and will seek locations that support commercial activity without unduly reducing downtown parking capacity.","Planning staff told the Historic District Commission the town is informally exploring four EV chargers (five parking spaces) through a grant that would fund ownership and operation for five years; no location has been approved and elected officials expressed concern about using premium downtown parking spaces.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6543558,"Historic District Commission approves altered window openings at 170 East Poplar Avenue after fire",3193,128000,3321000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3472797-7d9525f4fd26521b7b83c642bc3058fa&start=128&end=3321","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3472797-7d9525f4fd26521b7b83c642bc3058fa/thumbnail_128000.jpg","/articles/6543558/Collierville/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Historic-District-Commission-approves-altered-window-openings-at-170-East-Poplar-Avenue-after-fire","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6543558-0af699fc174ee43d0ce14d91ee1da2a1/orig.mp4?Expires=1770835890&Signature=gHb1EjgZyU2tTtfopn9ojaoysWkX94uaSM6139yQkjrRimlq9nyVMuI~chN2SjMWpw~DbxcJqupYoMVW7KwjJH4n0buz0jUW0AEsk0tKr7qryzEJ8KOS6EbTdNK73RJI--1kZIs0SQlAKS6UgedvOoPoa7a6AX3qzibAd0W7~q55Kdq-k9mE7GAv0a3-qlp7JtmkW1U9J5Di2cbZz8PETPSuEJtMdAbbh41lfwdBF0~Pte1W6T~~KawEJHyfzjIPsKMWlU3p5zQlZJzwOPe9xSF-ahfJRB-pfTJkdMddGldp9KixqSfT9EJF~IceproBG4RiRQnOTJlCzZpvih3G8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Collierville Historic District Commission on May 22 approved alterations to window openings at 170 East Poplar Avenue, allowing the east‑facing opening to be reduced in height to accommodate an interior sink and storage and permitting work on the north‑facing opening while keeping the existing exterior framed opening intact. The commission approved the application with five conditions; frosting or opaque glazing was made optional for the owner.

Historic preservation planner Jamie (staff) told commissioners the subject property is a contributing structure in the National Register district, built circa 1902, and that the commission must weigh compliance with the local historic district guidelines and the Secretary of the Interior standards against any adverse effect on the property or district. Jamie said the windows in question were part of the original house and visible from the street, and noted staff had recommended approval with conditions intended to preserve the window openings and framing where possible.

Property owner Walt Gimmon said the laundry room at the rear of the house was “completely destroyed” in the fire and the owners want to reconfigure the room for storage and to install a sink. Walt said the north window opening extends to about 2 feet from the floor now, preventing base cabinets; the owners asked to remove that window to allow cabinetry and to lower the east window’s sill so a sink can be installed. Kelly Gimmon described her preference for a window over the sink so she can “look out into the yard and watch the kids play.”

Commissioners and the applicant discussed alternatives the guidelines allow when original windows cannot be retained, including frosted or spandrel glass, fixed windows that preserve the original opening, or interior blocking/pony walls that would retain the exterior appearance. Staff and several commissioners emphasized the guideline preference to keep original openings or preserve the framed opening so a future owner could reinstall a window.

After discussion and multiple amendments to the sample conditions in the packet, a motion to approve the application as modified carried on a roll call. The recorded roll call in the transcript shows the following commissioners voting yes: Commissioner Cox; Commissioner Brooks; Commissioner Walker; Commissioner Rosanski; Commissioner Dean; Commissioner Hall; and Chairman Kelsey. The motion approved the applicant’s proposed changes with five conditions (staff noted earlier that conditions 1 and 4 were discussed and that frosting would be optional). Jamie said permits for interior work and possibly for the windows will still be required.

The commission heard additional technical details during the presentation and public discussion: the house is zoned R‑1 (low‑density residential); the applicants indicated insurance proceeds will fund the repair work; parts of the structure are on a slab where plumbing work is needed; and staff asked for manufacturer window details if new windows are proposed. The commission’s approval requires the applicant to address the stated conditions and to provide window details for staff review.

The vote outcome was recorded as approved (unanimous). No appeal or deadline associated with the certificate was stated during the meeting.

The commission moved on after the action to other agenda and administrative items.","The Collierville Historic District Commission voted unanimously May 22 to allow changes to two window openings at the circa‑1902 contributing house at 170 East Poplar Avenue as part of fire restoration, approving the applicants’ request with five conditions and making frosting optional.","actionData","errors"]
