Commission approves in‑kind porch repairs at 132 Third Ave. S. (Biscuit Love)
Summary
The commission approved in‑kind replacement of a single porch column, railing, and porch flooring at 132 Third Avenue South; applicant said work will match existing materials and profiles.
The Historic Zoning Commission approved an application for in‑kind replacement of porch elements at 132 Third Avenue South (Biscuit Love) on July 14.
Preservation staff said the property lies within the Downtown Franklin National Register Historic District and recommended approval of the in‑kind replacement of an eight‑foot porch column, porch railing/balustrade and porch flooring with conditions. Applicant Michael Lee told commissioners the work would be an exact replacement in the same species and profiles and that the balustrade and other porch elements would be removed and reinstalled rather than replaced. Commissioners asked whether the porch flooring is tongue‑and‑groove; the applicant and a commissioner confirmed the original porch was tongue‑and‑groove and that the replacement would match the existing 3‑inch face profile.
The commission voted to approve the work with staff conditions. The approval covered only the single turned column and associated porch flooring; commissioners confirmed that other porch elements would be reinstalled in place.
