The applicant, Terry Kleinfeld, told the commission the project aims to restore a storefront and provide second‑floor access: \"the goal is to take it down to be a beer garden,\" Kleinfeld said, describing proposed storefront transoms, metal storefront doors sized for ADA access and sidelights if allowable.

Commission staff told the panel the building is a noncontributing resource in the historic district, so the review focuses on compatibility rather than restoring previously surviving historic fabric. Staff also advised commissioners about safety and code restraints, saying that \"those spacings on those vertical rails are greater than 4 inches, which is not allowable by code now,\" and that rail spacing would need to be reduced to meet code.

Commissioners debated the balcony design. One commissioner said the balcony shown in the applicant's packet looked \"a little industrial\" and suggested considering more decorative, Victorian‑inspired elements for the front elevation; staff recommended that the front balcony be more ornamental while allowing more industrial detailing for rear or secondary elevations. The applicants said they had instructed their architect to reference existing downtown balcony styles so the new railings \"fit in more with the neighborhood.\"

The motion to approve included a direction that the front balcony's railing be revised to an ornamental, period‑compatible design consistent with other downtown front balconies; other submitted elements (storefront transoms, doors and upper‑floor windows) were approved as presented. The motion was moved and seconded on the record; the roll call vote was unanimous, 5‑0, and the chair instructed staff to include the project details in the certificate of appropriateness and to track related follow‑up inspections and approvals.

Commissioners and staff emphasized that sensitive rehabilitation work can change a property's historic status on future surveys and can help qualify buildings for preservation funding. The commission noted the applicant had consulted Sanborn map evidence and other historic descriptions where photographs were not available.

The commission did not set any funding or permit conditions beyond the requirement that the front balcony railing be modified to a more ornamental design and that guardrail spacing meet building code. Applicants will proceed with final construction drawings for building‑department review and any required permits before work begins.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","7/7/25 HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION MEETING","oneSentenceSummary","The Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness July 7 for work to reconstruct the front facade, add a new front balcony, and install new upper‑floor doors and windows at 517 West Oklahoma Avenue.","taxTitle","Historic Preservation Commission Meetings, Guthrie, Logan County, Oklahoma","taxId",74055,"location","Oklahoma","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6177208,"Commission to send second round of minimum‑maintenance letters focused on roofs and windows",138,1890000,2028000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5341185-29338aa36e2400e9651ff433e00fade8&start=1890&end=2028","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5341185-29338aa36e2400e9651ff433e00fade8/thumbnail_1890000.jpg","/articles/6177208/Oklahoma/Commission-to-send-second-round-of-minimummaintenance-letters-focused-on-roofs-and-windows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177208-6747c3fda1894330d385a645e2dd45f0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048176&Signature=EVsdPb4e97ayITCpP3WPGDlH-iNolxHVnG8ykTlWBKFEmMo1K~JGk5Ybx8D2L7mZV68ZoxS42WxFq7b-QD6S4lE5fHYCqiYq80CtUuMQp2QUIxAdS0CjMYQW95Gn0PREcEa4QrKrXWDgQMXF6np8i1tuohHE4~y5-VomUG6RXERuOIw~6~eO133nsJjITn3OIGKosUeY2SQNx8NTj3juzCjldYwgUSMW0W5vu4F1mgPJ7r6C-7pyxbg~z6RqSrvzt3Pxgxh1Ch3qVIa1OH-fYZMrfKLuwW3NM4pbg0t~TEbUL-9uhX5Mpa8GCD7lltEGAqH4R~LQ7RQ7lo8xjJDeWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Historic Preservation Commission staff said July 7 the commission will begin a second round of minimum‑maintenance letters to owners across the district, primarily targeting roofs and windows.

\"This time, we're essentially looking at the rest of the district, and we'll be primarily focusing on, windows and roofs,\" a staff member told the commission, explaining the enforcement step. Staff said property owners with boarded or deteriorated windows should expect letters and that some cases may return to the commission for a minimum maintenance plan if owners need more time.

Commissioners asked staff to place progress reports on the agenda. One commissioner reminded the panel that at the May meeting the commission required application 25‑007 (202 West Harrison) to complete the northwest facade within 60 days; staff confirmed that item and two others (the Linz Building and the Victor Building, plus the old fire station) would be listed as required plans on next month's agenda.

Staff said the letters are intended to address the two most important visible aspects for Downtown — roofs and windows — and to move toward more conforming properties in future district surveys. The commission also welcomed its newest member, Lisa Kennedy, during the meeting and discussed scheduling an election of officers when the commission reaches a full roster.

No formal action beyond the staff update was taken on the minimum‑maintenance program at this meeting; staff will return with letters and required‑plan items at the next monthly meeting for formal tracking and, where necessary, additional commission action.","Staff told the Historic Preservation Commission July 7 that it will start a second round of minimum‑maintenance letters to property owners, focusing on roofs and windows in the historic district.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6177197,"Commission tables decision on 'Beauty by Laura' sign at 108 West Wentz pending material details",260,1618000,1878000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5341185-29338aa36e2400e9651ff433e00fade8&start=1618&end=1878","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5341185-29338aa36e2400e9651ff433e00fade8/thumbnail_1618000.jpg","/articles/6177197/Oklahoma/Commission-tables-decision-on-Beauty-by-Laura-sign-at-108-West-Wentz-pending-material-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177197-ad40c4be27f9db69cb3cd7b71cb672be/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048177&Signature=XjW-lr2Nsg7Nwo1DJYxqvC8Z3D-x~Fn-JawBq3YRGqLhPIEC2ZKHEhrE48ssAVFkPVUEV81AcxtK84cBvaFt0Pehy7-oBOfd2SwrQZSBDhniLQGqL4ERGkeCSs7PC79VDcb7JP4xR8SHZ7I15Tie58a1hVHTnfA0aNyL-FLrMBe7fKY~mEFl0a0R~bW3qkjwUZPSu5sbS6IXm3JMX-p4m85NbVu5T32YIq-VaQP2Lww6rQy5eqq--Z0kngdGRnC9jEhm6-xujYJX8ZwKLambrDbu3ZrQnn3H88tmXI-ChiXUJQzFZhH9WNWQjjCmT96q9GFGqv06hhmNXcHz0nqMRg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission tabled July 7 a request for a certificate of appropriateness for a new sign for Beauty by Laura at 108 West Wentz Street, asking the applicant to clarify the proposed materials.

A staff member said the storefront most recently housed a floral shop and that the application describes \"a weatherproof vinyl sign with a wood border on the top.\" The staff member added that the existing vinyl banner is not a permanent downtown sign and said, \"a vinyl banner is not appropriate sign permanent, signage for the downtown area.\" Commissioners asked whether the applicant intended a rigid substrate with vinyl lettering, a vinyl print on rigid backing, or a framed printed vinyl banner; staff and commissioners agreed the material matters for whether approval should be granted.

One commissioner said they had no objection to the design if the material will be a permanent substrate; another commissioner requested clearer material specifications be provided. After discussion, the commission voted to table the application to the August meeting and asked staff to request specific details and drawings about substrate, framing and installation method before reconsideration.

The roll call reflected unanimous support to table; staff said they would work with the applicant to secure material details and bring the item back for formal action at the next meeting.","The Historic Preservation Commission tabled a request July 7 for a storefront sign at 108 West Wentz Street (Beauty by Laura) and asked the applicant to provide clearer details about sign materials and mounting.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6177203,"Commission approves two murals and repainting for contributing building at 206 South Second Street",703,76000,779000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5341185-29338aa36e2400e9651ff433e00fade8&start=76&end=779","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5341185-29338aa36e2400e9651ff433e00fade8/thumbnail_76000.jpg","/articles/6177203/Oklahoma/Commission-approves-two-murals-and-repainting-for-contributing-building-at-206-South-Second-Street","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6177203-1231377a6d0cd33eab0ab38907787abd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771048177&Signature=SEs6xk-FtrN3gMSeyAQARGmDfj4TUQli7qJIaWkMA650YcIqWK3HAOSfsQwgRcsZKvBjYNIEnFMGDXcqWVNOBFXMowBsKeeEfm6cZ41ubtB9JfpdyUHXMWibstJ-VHAuE~MrVquMmow4736fRyC~l4e4ShxIjadr-7iXapd~iDRTr5jo7e6oYqpMGnzb9mSDVz2PmE7Lct09sYhlbLETC1kA6EoktEflWyvcQg2otlFm8TbzcYVIVuyqYiNAGta1FMF7SYc1Y58DcaZ-Y0fZNDQOCY87lb6wGOlTPSKRoa8QfGyoM7UJcilU~nZ~abgwfuBEftJG6DjQF4M2H~TuiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Historic Preservation Commission approved a certificate of appropriateness July 7 for two new murals and repainting of the building known locally as the Redstone at 206 South Second Street.

A staff member presented the project, telling the commission the property \"recently got their minimum maintenance plan approved and have been moving along\" and noting the building is a contributing resource. The applicant said they preferred \"east option 1,\" which would cover the current painted area, and described the designs as neutral and \"period\" in style rather than advertising for any tenant.

The applicants told commissioners the murals were intended to be community‑oriented public art: \"we just try to do it basically like the town,\" an applicant said, and added they had selected an Oklahoma artist who had worked locally in Edmond and Oklahoma City. Commissioners and staff observed the proposed lettering and muted palettes were consistent with the design guidelines' period signage recommendations.

A motion to approve the murals and to repaint the existing front facade passed on roll call. The recorded vote was 4‑0 in favor. Commissioners noted the project would replace an existing vinyl treatment on a side elevation and that the proposed mural lettering appears more period‑appropriate than the current painted letters. The applicant said the existing Redstone lettering would be redone and the two additional murals would be painted as presented.

The commission did not attach additional conditions beyond standard certificate provisions. Staff will issue the certificate and monitor work for compatibility with the submitted designs and materials.","The Historic Preservation Commission granted a certificate of appropriateness for two new murals and repainting of the front 'Redstone' facade at 206 South Second Street, finding the designs compatible with the historic district and period lettering appropriate; the commission recorded a 4‑0 approval.","actionData","errors"]
