The subject property is an early-20th-century masonry building within the Davenport Commercial Historic District. Staff said the structure is a four-story building constructed in 1910 with commercial space on the first floor and 24 apartments above.
City planning staff described the applicant’s proposal as a modest storefront alteration. The work described included lowering the entrance door by six inches to be level with the sidewalk grate, reversing the door swing to open outward, infilling the resulting transom gap with an opaque panel to match surrounding storefront paneling, and interior accessibility upgrades so the business complies with building and accessibility code requirements without an exterior ramp.
Staff noted an architectural inconsistency on the subject street frontage: adjacent storefronts use a single transom window unit above the door, while the Colette’s tenant space has multiple smaller transom openings. Staff said a single transom would be more consistent with the façade and recommended that if the board wants a single transom the application be tabled so the applicant can submit revised drawings and, possibly, a sign package at the next meeting.
A board member moved to table the application with the condition that the applicant return with a single transom window filling the entire space. The motion carried by voice vote; the applicant was not present. Staff told the board that the applicant may install interior window signage or a temporary banner while the item is pending, but any new exterior sign will require a separate sign application to the board.
Planning staff said the internal accessibility approach was chosen to preserve the historic storefront character and that lowering the door six inches was intended to meet building-code accessibility requirements without an exterior ramp. The board and staff agreed the item should return with documented exterior elevations showing a single transom unit.
The board will consider the item again at a future meeting, and staff indicated the applicant could also submit a sign application at that time.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Davenport City DESIGN REVIEW BOARD 07.28.2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Davenport Design Review Board tabled a design review application for Colette’s Piano Bar at 317 West Third Street and asked the applicant to return with revised plans that show a single transom window filling the storefront opening; the applicant was not present.","taxTitle","Davenport City, Scott County, Iowa","taxId",3923,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_46":80,"_48":81,"_50":82,"_52":83,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":84,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":85,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6152090,"Design review board approves Channel Cat signage and pier upgrades at Lindsay Park",466,227000,693000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5500178-f38aec7c4c0ad7a3fc3b13f0fe371154&start=227&end=693","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5500178-f38aec7c4c0ad7a3fc3b13f0fe371154/thumbnail_227000.jpg","/articles/6152090/Davenport-City/Scott-County/Iowa/Design-review-board-approves-Channel-Cat-signage-and-pier-upgrades-at-Lindsay-Park","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6152090-1897f890a88fa301eb1fd1d8a03e2ad2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771201207&Signature=OfEr6htEa0bIgroYlrreRrSbp1UN5hjEhE3nWO7ikI7GzvXn17hrCgQCuLhGVZe3S6ZrVbE4JT1rwGs-xthxwVG8mUxevjUzza2QYNaM6CeaeZ4g7-XJU~l3u2ClOn2VAxvrdWyDhIpA~eHojxUwI3AhDO-LVPrChonWOHV~VS4NYTl3aNzhhHZI~nAAA-jZ1jz1cCphmlQAMim~RmcoR2djIR-OQI5g~GPrJJf-p4lSq0FE5yrGFXJHd8ITbHn-skSihZ5KnMPJUfYbpO2TJ6oWMNNWzxikulrK2KpTy6gMBs~giyNMpJ4sjXqrsShWxmNuo2rPxtOX0b268QG5DA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its July 28 meeting, the Davenport Design Review Board approved exterior signage and dock upgrades for the Channel Cat stop at Lindsay Park, a project the presenters said is funded with Federal Transit Administration passenger ferry boat funds and a 20% local match from the city of Davenport.
The project replaces the existing concrete platform and small-wayfinding elements with a new freestanding wayfinding sign, upgraded pier materials and fencing, and revised bench and ADA access arrangements. Staff recommended approval of the work as submitted.
Metrolink and Channel Cat representative Jennifer Hirsch said the project was funded through the Federal Transit Administration and the city is providing local matching funds. “This project, the village of East Davenport Dock, was funded by, through federal transit administration passenger ferry boat funds. And in addition, the city of Davenport is providing the 20% local match,” Hirsch said.
Project representative Jake Sharp described planned site changes, saying the concrete area will be replaced, benches removed and reinstalled, and fencing will be upgraded. “It’ll be more ADA accessible. So, visually, it’ll be a lot more attractive in that area,” Sharp said.
Board members heard that the proposed freestanding sign will follow the existing Channel Cat/riverfront wayfinding pattern used at John Deere Commons and other docks; staff noted the John Deere Commons sign is about 11½ feet tall and the submitted plans did not list an exact height for the Lindsay Park sign. The presenters said the sign frame will be steel, brown on the support structure with a blue sign top to match existing wayfinding.
On the dock itself, presenters said the current wing wall/jetty area will be elevated for flood protection and the new pier will use aluminum elements and silver fencing rather than the existing wooden pier and black fencing. Presenters also said environmental reviews required for construction on the Mississippi River have been completed and that the city has provided the local match. Construction is expected this fall; presenters estimated work would begin in mid to late September and noted the Channel Cat regular season ends Labor Day weekend but that weekend service continues into September. They said there may be a few weekends in which the dock is inaccessible depending on schedule and construction timing.
Staff recommended approval and a board member moved to accept the plan as presented; the board approved the application at the meeting by voice vote.
Board members and staff said they will try to limit service disruptions during construction and that the Channel Cat will coordinate timing with seasonal operations to minimize impacts.","The Davenport Design Review Board approved signage and dock upgrades for the Channel Cat stop at Lindsay Park, funded by Federal Transit Administration ferry funds with a 20% local match from the city; construction is planned for fall and may affect weekend service in September.","actionData","errors"]
